Heritage & History
Smart Pots was founded in 1984 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, initially producing geotextile fabric containers for commercial tree farming and nursery stock. The company's founders discovered that porous fabric containers produced dramatically healthier root systems than conventional plastic or ceramic pots — roots that reached the porous wall were air-pruned naturally, stimulating lateral root branching and creating a dense, fibrous root mass that took up nutrients and water far more efficiently than the circling, spiraling roots that develop in solid-walled containers.
The air-pruning discovery transformed Smart Pots from a commercial nursery supplier into a consumer gardening innovator. Home gardeners discovered that vegetables, herbs, and flowering plants grew faster and produced more abundantly in Smart Pots than in conventional containers. The cannabis cultivation community adopted Smart Pots enthusiastically as legalization expanded, citing dramatically improved yields from plants grown in fabric containers. Today Smart Pots products are used in home gardens, commercial greenhouses, and licensed cannabis facilities around the world.
Made in Oklahoma City
Every Smart Pot is manufactured in Oklahoma City from BPA-free geotextile fabric that is porous, durable, and UV-resistant. The fabric allows air to reach roots from all sides, creating the air-pruning effect that produces superior root architecture. The containers are available in sizes from 1 gallon to 400 gallons, accommodating everything from countertop herb gardens to large-canopy fruit trees.
The fabric containers are machine-washable and reusable for multiple growing seasons, making them both economical and environmentally preferable to single-use plastic pots. Smart Pots also produces the Big Bag Raised Bed — a flat-bottom fabric container in 4-foot, 5-foot, and larger square sizes that serves as an instant raised bed garden, eliminating the need for lumber construction. All products carry a Smart Pots satisfaction guarantee and are backed by 40 years of manufacturing experience in Oklahoma City.
