It offers better drainage, cooler soil, and a lightweight frame that’s easy to lift or store. Sized at 11 inches wide and 10 inches tall, it fits effortlessly in balcony corners or small patios.

Perfect for mint (پودینہ), coriander (دھنیا), lettuce, spinach, chillies, or flowers like marigold, this bag is ideal for balcony gardening or tight urban spaces.

How to Set Up

1. Fill with Potting Mix

Fill about 80% of the bag using 2 parts soil + 1 part compost or vermicompost. In hot weather, mix in 10–15% coco peat to help retain moisture and keep roots cooler.

2. Place the Bag Well

Set the bag in a stable spot like a balcony corner, ledge, or wall-side area that gets decent light. Make sure it's not in a spot where water collects after rain.

3. Water Properly

Water gently until it drains from the bottom. Check the topsoil daily — water only when the surface feels dry to the touch.

FAQs

What can I grow in a 5-gallon grow bag?

You can grow leafy greens (spinach, lettuce, coriander/dhania), root crops (radish, beetroot), or one fruiting plant like chili, baingan, or shimla mirch. Bush beans and basil also fit well.

How much soil does it need?

Roughly 14–15 liters of potting mix fills the bag to about 80% capacity — enough room for root growth and watering.

Can I use grow bags outdoors, and how long will they last?

Yes, they work well outdoors in all seasons. Keep them on a dry, raised surface and lift carefully when moving — avoid dragging while wet. With care, they can last up to 5 years.

Do I need drainage holes?

No, you don’t need to add any holes! These fabric bags drain naturally — no need to poke holes. They let excess water escape while still keeping roots evenly moist.
