Description

Air Pruning Pots, also known as Root Pruning Pots, are an excellent choice of growing environment at a very reasonable price point.

Air Pruning Pots are circular in shape, with a corrugated wall that has open sides, allowing for additional air uptake.

Traditional pots with a hard exterior force roots to encircle the outer edge of the pot, leaving wasted valuable space towards the centre. When using Air Pruning Pots, the root of the plant will reach one of the open slots on the outside, where it is pruned by air and light. A signal is then sent to the roots from the plant to produce more shoots, resulting in increased root growth. This allows a much healthier and larger root system to be produced, in a short period of time. The root system is able to take in more water, nutrients and oxygen, creating a larger and more abundant plant in a shorter period of time than when grown in a traditional hard pot.

We recommend these pots for outdoor use as they are very durable and some substrate will fall through the sides, making it a messy experience for indoor growers.

Benefits

Larger and Healthier Roots

• A plant mirrors above ground what is happening below the surface of the soil.
• Due to increased air and light accessibility, growing in Air Pruning Pots produces larger plants with healthier roots.

Aeration is highly beneficial for root and plant growth

• Providing a plant with aeration produces a healthy environment for the roots of the plant, as well as supports microorganisms and bacteria that are beneficial to the plant.
  
• Aeration provides the plant with oxygen to its roots, which is essential in metabolic processes associated with the uptake of nutrients and minerals.
• Oxygen is essential to plant health as it aids in diffusing carbon dioxide away from roots. This is a result of respiration of root cells and microorganisms.
• When a plant does not have adequate access to oxygen, it is weaker, grows at a slower pace and is more likely to be prone to pests and diseases.

Unique and High Quality

• Air Pruning Pots are made from high quality material, they are impact resistant and built to last. Their unique design enables them to prevent root circling.

Better Results

• When using Air Pruning Pots, their is a significant increase in root mass, plant growth, nutrient uptake and yields.
