Know before you buy
The walls of the pot feature a unique pattern of holes and cones that guide roots toward the air. When the root tips reach the air, they stop growing, which triggers the plant to sprout secondary, fibrous roots rather than circling the pot.
Yes, because the air-pruning holes provide significant aeration, the soil may dry out faster than in a solid plastic pot. It is recommended to monitor moisture levels closely, especially during peak growing seasons.
While they are excellent for both, keep in mind that the drainage holes are designed for airflow. If using them indoors, you will need a saucer or tray underneath to catch water runoff.
Yes, they are constructed from durable, recycled HDPE plastic designed to withstand repeated use. They can be easily cleaned and sanitized between planting cycles.
This size is versatile enough for seedlings, cuttings, and smaller mature plants. However, for large shrubs or trees, you may eventually need to transplant them into a larger container once the root system outgrows the 13.8-liter capacity.
Yes, the Air-Pot arrives as a flat sheet that you wrap into a cylinder and secure with the included fixings. It is a straightforward process that allows for easy storage when the pots are not in use.
