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. |
