I’m pretty sure the pots will get enough oxygen without the use of a fan blowing directly on it. If you are exhausting, that’s all the air flow you need.

Also with blowing right on them you're going to be fighting them drying out very quickly.

Air movement is sufficient. Think gas exchange in the roots, not so much wind in the roots.

The fabric pots are great. I grow bonsai starter trees in them also.

Good way to raise the humidity... That could be a good thing or a bad thing.
