The innovative Plant Bag by Authentics is casually-naturally and technologically-functional. Planted with green plants, flowers or herbs, it can stand without a mat on the floor, tables or windowsills.

The plant bags are part of the innovative Urban Garden-Series, which has been designed be the designer Patrick Nadeau for Authentics. Dissatisfied with the existing alternatives of "room-greening“, the multiple awarded French designer and architect designed this totally new, textile planting system. It combines advantages of hydroculture with the ones of usual soil planting.

The plant bags are made of a robust, textile outside skin and a waterproof inside bag with integrated drainagevlies. The inside bag is filled with argil granules. The fleece chamber carries the plant including soil. The planted inside bag will be put into the textile casing. Through that Urban Garden can be used for all indoor-plants like kitchen herbs, flowers and room plants - also the ones, which already stood in usual soil.

The main advantage of this kind of the long time watering: The fostering of the plants is more comfortable and cleaner. The argil granules save water, while the drainagevlies avoids stagnant moisture. A water gauge is including in the delivery package of every plant bag.

Urban Garden doesn't need trivets nor cachepots and through the welded in- and outside, the water can't drain.

The plant bags by Authentics are also available in the sizes L, with a capacity of 45l, and XL, with a capacity of 200l.
