The Air-Pot System is a recyclable, reusable plastic container that actively enhances the quality of the root systems of plants and produces fabulous, non-spiralling root systems that are impossible to develop in any other available container.
The Air-Pot is circular 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 and the system forces the apical cells at the tip of the root to dehydrate, and are air-pruned.
The response of the plant to this 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.
This encourages an optimum root system which promotes the uptake of water and nutrients for a healthier tree and quicker establishment when planted.
