Air pruning roots is an effective way to promote root health in potted plants. If a plant in a container looks sick, it could be due to a number of root problems caused by uneven or overgrown roots. Air pruning containers create a healthy and hands-free environment for roots, making plants stronger and easier to transplant.
air pruning root
How does air trim work? In nature, the roots of plants can grow wherever they want. In containers, of course, they have a solid border of room to grow. Because of this, the roots will lean against the wall and often continue to grow along it, forming the root spiral shape common in potted plants.
The roots grow thick and tangled, blocking access to nutrients and water, which can eventually kill the plant.
Air pruning containers, however, prevent root growth at the container walls, so instead of wrapping around the container walls, it sends out branches along its length, resulting in a stronger, more spread out structure with more roots Tips for water and nutrients. This is the ideal root structure for potted plants.
What are air pots?
Air pots promote this healthy root structure with exactly what you'd expect: air. Plants don't want their roots to be on the ground, so when the roots meet the air, the plant stops going in that direction and focuses its energy on other parts of the soil.
There are many different types of air pruning containers on the market, and some gardeners even make their own air pruning pots, but the basic concept of all of them is to let air in through the sides and bottom of the container to stop roots from growing around the edges and spread them into the soil. middle.
Some air trim containers have simple hole lines along the edges. These are effective but impractical for delicate potting materials.
Some are made of fabric, which is fine for fine potting material but not good for transplanting.
Some are plastic grids surrounded by perfboard and actually require some assembly. These are very effective at air pruning roots and transplants, but are also not suitable for delicate materials.

1. Big Volume: Air Pruning Pots wall is not a smooth sheet, it is concave-convex, which will increase the surface area of the wall and increase pot soil loading volume.
2. Super Roots: There are continuous holes at each bulge, this special design is to air prune the fast-growing main roots, and multiply many small sub-roots. Avoid Roots Circling.
3. 99% Transplant Survive Rate: The Air root pot with base for outdoor planter wall can be taken off by unscrewing the screws, the roots will be fully wrapped by the soil when you transplant.
4. Save Cost: The air pruning pot’s wall is vertical, so the whole weight of the soil is loaded on the base, not on the wall. Then the wall is not necessary be very thick when we making a big pot.
5. Good Drainage: The base has feet over 1 inch. The foot can elevate the base from the floor, and avoid the roots being rotted by over-watered water which holds by your saucer. It will also have better air circulation, cooler pot bottom temperature!
6. Plant root system is small on top, the deeper the bigger, but the traditional pot diameter is the deeper the smaller, not good for roots growing, our air pruning pots can be like a Pagoda, top diameter is smaller than the base diameter.
