Indoor gardeners get more out of planting in Air Pots than any other growing system. They are made from high-quality polypropylene injection-molded into strong, tubular units with a central drainage hole and an inlet/outlet for air pruning roots. The wall thickness is precisely controlled to give just the right amount of flex when installed, while the inlet/outlets are designed to act as wire grips when suspended with string or nets.
Why use Air Pots? Plants grown in Air Pots have better-shaped root systems, are not prone to overwatering leading to root rot, are less likely to have surface roots, have broader adaptability to the varied soil mix and different growing conditions. The result is your plants will spend less time in the vegetative state, bloom earlier, and more prolifically with higher essential oil production.
Air Pots are also made from 100% recycled material! Air Pot containers can be used for years of service if cared for properly. When planting in an Air-Pot container, it is important to remember that you cannot bury any part of the air pot itself in the ground when planting. Make sure you leave at least seven inches (17cm) above ground level showing on all sides so you can wrap strings or support nets around them if necessary.
How do they work?
The design allows additional oxygen, water, and nutrients to reach roots easily, leading to more vigorous growth. Because of the increased oxygen available to roots multiply and thicken faster than in other growing systems. Root tips also become woody due to constant air pruning; this helps them resist root rot and facilitates rapid plant multiplication. Since their introduction, Air Pots have been used successfully worldwide: from Canada to California, Holland, and Mexico.
What size should I use?
The number of plants you can grow in each container depends on how big they are when you put them in, what kind of soil mix you use (some mixes retain too much moisture), and your watering regime (although this is less important with Air-Pot containers). With experience, you’ll find that it’s best to plant in containers that have a volume of between 12 liters and 45 liters—depending on the particular crop. The following table should give you some idea of what you can expect to get in different sizes of Air Pots.
All in all, Air-Pot containers are a great way to grow healthy, vigorous plants. Their unbeatable performance is guaranteed by a warranty that covers any manufacturing defect in materials or workmanship.
