I hate that they do this, like for what benefit? Just stunts the growth and sometimes even takes it to the verge of dying

Plant version of planned obsolescence ✌️😔

I forget what those are called but they are specifically used by plant propagators all the time. If you peel them off you damage the roots. The plants will always grow through them and develop a root system outside of the mesh. They are very common in the greenhouse industry.

Right?! And then the soil that’s trapped inside ends up becoming hydrophobic. So it’s like a double whammy! Just say no!

My plant was very sad and I think this was why, thanks!
