Superoots Air-Pot 3 Litre
The Superoots Air-Pot is a recyclable, reusable plastic container that actively enhances the quality of the root systems of plants.
This revolutionary approach to containerizing tree stock produces fabulous, non-spiralling root systems that are impossible to develop in any other available container.
Made of recycled HDPE, the Superoots 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 spiraling process.
The inward pointing cones direct the root towards the hole in the outward pointing cones where the air density in the soil is too great and therefore the apical cells at the very tip of the root dehydrate, or are air-pruned.
The response of the plant to this air-pruning 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.
Superoots Air-Pots can be made to any diameter in a variety of heights and can be used as pots complete with base or without a base.
Superoots is pleased to introduce a new, improved Air-Pot design. It features an angled seam that offers a fantastic improvement in joint strength and reduces the cost and the time of assembly.
The real benefits of using Superoots Air-Pots are that they
Eliminate root circling.
Reduce growing time on the nursery.
Simplify production.
Reduce losses dramatically.
Ensure Superior Performance in Extremes of Weather.
The Air-Pot is made of recycled HDPE
How the Air-Pot works
Air-Pots have unusual cuspated walls, sort of an egg box configuration, made up of closed inward pointing cones and open ended outward pointing cones. There are no flat surfaces on the inside of the container to deflect roots and start the spiralling process.
The inward pointing cones direct the roots further outward to the open ended cones where, because the air density in the soil is too great, the roots dehydrate and are effectively pruned.
The plant responds to this "air-pruning" by sending out more roots to compensate for the loss which leads to a dense root system with a vast number of active white tipped roots.
The porosity of the Air-Pot also creates better conditions for bacterial activity and thus increases the amount of nutrients available to the plant. With so much root right back to the stem, the root system is very efficient in its use of all the available water and nutrient.
Plant vigour and health is therefore guaranteed.
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 ...
