Growing in Plastic Bags?

[JelitoKopito]

Hi, I have plenty of 7l pots and as I find out I need bigger but dont want to invest in x new bigger pots.

Have you ever tried growing canna in plastic bags? If so can you provide photos?

Do you mean the same bags nurseries use? I use them for clones inside (1lt) and I'll be trying a few one gal outside to start everything off in spring. Not ideal for summer outdoors though. Especially if you have crazy sun beating on them.
Other plastic bags nope sorry never tried

Well I mean trash plastic bags or those with better texture black 120l I think. It could be make smaller and make some holes in that and it should work I think. I want only indoor. I know that for outside it would be bigger problem

You'll be fighting with it the whole grow....do yourself a favor and either buy a legit fabric pot or use something that is rigid with holes drilled in it.

I just ordered another 10 fiber pots 10gal from ali 4usd each
I already have 10x 7l fiberpot but its too small and meantime bigger arrives Im thinking into making 5x bigger pots from those 10x 7l. Either I cut them at bottom or I split them i half and sue them together

Just wait for the new ones...

Yeah trash bags are most likely too thin. One bump and it breaks and all your roots are not gonna be happy. Either the fabric ones or get some big nursery bags. If you ordered then wait.

I though about these
these are stronger than regular trash bags

But not going to do that if noone have tried it.

If you construct a wire mesh frame and provide plenty of holes, it might work, but I'd go with the proven, specially fabricated woven bags.
