Description
Nine Litre Air Pots are the most popular size for growers using soil and can also be used as long-term containers for mother plants up to 100cm tall. They measure 23cm in diameter and 30cm 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.
