As temperatures rise, growers face the challenge of protecting plants from excessive heat and harmful sun rays – a challenge that can be overcome with plant bags specifically designed to provide UV protection. 

To support healthy root development and overall plant vitality, it is essential to maintain optimal growing conditions. 

UV Protection

At your request, we can manufacture custom plant bags that withstand prolonged sun exposure. To enhance their performance, TDI adds UV inhibitors to our high-quality poly grow bags.

As a result, they offer several key benefits:

  • They shield roots from direct sunlight, reducing the risk of overheating.
  • They prevent material breakdown, ensuring the bags maintain their strength and durability.
  • They extend the lifespan of the bags, making them a reliable and reusable choice for growers.

Consequently, plant bags with added UV protection are especially valuable for nurseries on the West Coast and in other high-sunlight regions, where constant exposure can quickly degrade less durable materials. 

Benefits of Poly Plant Bags

Heat stress can quickly damage root systems, particularly when plants are grown in traditional plastic pots that trap and retain heat. In contrast, TDI’s plant bags offer a smarter, more efficient solution for protecting roots and promoting healthy growth.

Breathable Design with Custom Vent Holes

Custom-placed vent holes enhance ventilation by regulating temperature and promoting consistent airflow within the bag.

As a result, this improved air circulation supports healthy root development. Additionally, it helps prevent root rot by reducing excess moisture and improving drainage.

Moisture Retention:

Moreover, heavier-gauge material helps retain moisture, reducing the risk of plants drying out. In turn, this promotes healthier growth and supports overall plant vitality.

Cost Effective and Efficient

Compared to traditional containers, plastic grow bags use less material, making them a more affordable and energy-efficient option.

Furthermore, their low cost and sustainable design makes them an ideal choice for budget-conscious growers.
