What is the best way to plant my pouches?
What is the best way to water my pouches?
Because of their vertical design, Al's Flower Pouches require thorough watering to ensure plugs at the bottom of the pouch are evenly watered. A repeat watering is always a good idea.
My flowers are always fuller at the top than the bottom. What should I do?
Even water and fertilizer distribution are key for uniform growth. We recommend using the Thirst Quencher watering spout to ensure water and water-soluble fertilizer makes it all the way to the bottom of the pouch and reaches all root zones. A repeat watering within minutes may be necessary to ensure roots are well watered, top to bottom. See above for our recommendations on watering best practices.
What are the most common plants for Al's Flower Pouch?
Al's Flower Pouch works with all kinds of plants, that's the beauty of it. You can get creative and try new trendy varieties to expand your offerings and put together interesting limited runs that will set you apart.
How should I ship Al's Flower Pouch?
The best way to ship your pouches is to lay them flat in rows on a cart. The pouches are sized to fit the same footprint as standard 10x20 flats, so some growers lay them into flats before placing on carts. Do not stack planted pouches on top of one another. Remember to thoroughly water your pouches before shipping out.
