HDPE Grow Bag – 18 inches diameter × 6 inches height is a wide, shallow planting container for leafy vegetables, herbs and seasonal flowers. Its broad 18-inch planting surface gives you room for multiple plants, making it useful for creating a compact Kiyari-style garden on a rooftop, terrace, balcony or patio.
Made from woven HDPE in Parrot Green, the bag is lightweight, reusable and comes with built-in drainage holes for excess water. The shallow design is particularly useful when you want more planting surface for plants that do not require a deep container.
Best For
The 18 × 6 inch grow bag works particularly well for:
-
Coriander: Sow across the wider surface for a fuller planting
-
Methi: Grow multiple plants together for leafy harvesting
-
Spinach: Space several plants across the bag

Lettuce: Grow multiple compact lettuce plants with suitable spacing
-
Spring onions: Plant several in rows across the container
-
Mustard greens: Useful for a small home-grown leafy patch

How to Fill
Open the bag fully and fill with a loose, well-draining potting mix.
For leafy vegetables and herbs, compost or vermicompost can be added for organic matter. Coco peat and perlite can also be included to keep the growing medium light and well aerated.
Leave a little space below the top edge for watering, then level the surface gently before sowing.
Kiyari Planting
The 18-inch-wide planting area makes this bag particularly useful as a small Kiyari for home gardening.
You can sow coriander or methi across the surface, arrange spring onions in rows, or space individual spinach and lettuce plants according to their mature size.
It can also be used to grow more than one compatible herb or flower variety in the same container where their spacing and growing requirements are similar.
For deeper vegetables and larger individual plants, browse our HDPE Grow Bags to compare other available sizes.
Watering
Built-in drainage holes allow excess water to leave after watering.
Water gently across the full surface so the growing medium is moistened evenly. Check moisture regularly and water according to the plant, weather and growing medium rather than following a fixed schedule.
