If you have heard the hype about Air Pots and want to add some to your garden or grow room, you have come to the right place! Air pots from TerraHydro provide exceptional growing conditions for plants due to the aeration they provide.
What are air pots?
Air pots are a relatively new garden pot style that is certainly catching the attention of many growers. They are very unique, both in terms of appearance and the way they work.
The holes on the side and bottom of the air pot provide more aeration than any other pot, allowing maximal oxygen to the root zone. This also allows for air pruning, one of the major benefits of using an air pot.
What is air pruning?
When roots reach the side or bottom of a plastic plant pot, it can lead to them becoming root-bound and forming root circles. With an air pot, however, the holes around the pot allow for air root pruning.
In an air pot, oxygen is able to enter through the pot through holes or fibrous material. This air prunes the roots naturally, forcing them to branch off and create a complex, dense root system.
Fabric pots are another type of pot that allows for air pruning, but not in the way that Air Pots do. But, these Air Pots can become a bit expensive, especially if you are buying in bulk. If you want an awesome plant pot without having to pay an arm and a leg, consider the popular fabric Gorilla Pots.
