Description
Three litre Air Pots are best suited for intensive hydroponic and coco systems for plants up to 60cm tall. They measure 15cm in diameter and 23.5cm 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 and, in turn, 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.
