To understand why nurseries and greenhouse growers select them, it’s helpful to explore the types of plants that thrive in a plastic grow bag.
These flexible, lightweight containers offer excellent drainage, space efficiency, and root development, making them an ideal alternative to traditional pots or in-ground planting.
But which plants thrive in a plastic grow bag?
Here are some examples of successful plant uses.
Nut and Fruit Trees:
Examples are trees for almonds, pistachios, avocados, olives, lemons, and oranges.
“The first year I started working here, in 1991, we were trying out your bags and have been a fan of them ever since.” (pistachio nursery)
Flowering Plants (Ornamentals):
One of the species that thrive in the narrow plant bags from TDI Custom Packaging are protea flowers.
“After more than 40 years of usage, I see no reason to switch to another plant grow medium. Especially since business is booming beyond expectations.” (protea flower farm)
Other Plants:
Any other type of plant, or small species like herbs will do well in a plastic plant bag. Even hemp grows well in these containers.
“I’m very happy with your product. Compared to other seed bags, yours is more superior, thicker and taller.” (testimony from another flower farm)
Seeds and seedlings:
Protecting seeds and seedlings during their early stages of growth is key to their long-term health and success.
That’s why plastic grow bags are such a valuable tool—they create protection for young plants during their most fragile state.

Plant Bags . Seed Bags . Tree Sleeves
There are generally three types of plastic grow bags and each one is custom-designed for a specific purpose. At TDI, we offer: plant bags for plants, seed bags for seeds, and tree sleeves for trees.
That said, some growers use plant bags for young trees or tree sleeves for plants. There’s no strict rule—whatever works.
Is a Plastic Grow Bag Safe?
Absolutely. All plastic grow bags from TDI are made from FDA-approved materials, ensuring they are safe for use in growing environments.
Moreover, each bag is recyclable and, if still in good condition, can also be reused—further enhancing its value as a sustainable choice for growers.
