Description
20 litre Air Pots are perfect for very large plants up to 200cm tall and are easily durable enough for use in an outdoor growing space, but will also work as a long-term container for mother plants. They measure 31cm in diameter and 31.5cm in height.
The idea behind their sci-fi appearance is that the roots are directed towards the holes and are air-pruned. This avoids unhealthy root circling and encourages the growth of additional feeder roots, leading to greater nutrient absorption and improved top growth.
It is worth noting that these pots tend to dry out more quickly than standard pots, especially if you are hand watering.
Air Pots are made of very tough, 100% recycled plastic and are delivered flat packed. They are straightforward to assemble and disassemble to allow for easy potting up and will last for years.
