Air Pot 17 Litres
The Superoots Air-Pot container is a recyclable, reusable growing system that actively enhances the quality of the root systems of plants.
This revolutionary approach to containerizing tree stock produces fabulous, non-spiralling root systems that are impossible to develop in any other available container.
Made of recycled HDPE, the Superoots Air-Pot container is cylindrical in shape with a perforated sidewall, which is textured like an egg carton.
There are no flat surfaces to deflect roots and start the spiralling process.
The inward pointing cones direct the root towards the hole in the outward pointing cones where the air density in the soil is too great and therefore the apical cells at the very tip of the root dehydrate, or are air-pruned.
The response of the plant to this air-pruning is to send out more roots to compensate for the loss, which leads to the build up of a dense and fibrous radial root system in a dramatically short time.
Superoots Air-Pot containers can be made to any diameter in a variety of heights and can be used as pots complete with base or without a base.
Air-Pot containers get the best out of all plants because they develop a remarkable root system and vigorous roots support healthy and prolific plants.
Like many clever tools, it is actually very simple – the Air-Pot ‘air-prunes’ roots and this constant pruning prevents any root circling and promotes the growth of more and more feeder roots.
It is these fine, fibrous roots which use all the available water and food very efficiently, to help develop great top growth and excellent fruit.
But good roots can only develop in healthy soil/compost – soil that is alive.
Air-Pot containers also allow more air and better drainage than in any other container, another vital element that makes Air-Pot grown plants much healthier and happier.
Roots are the foundation for all good growing!
