Superoots Air-Pots can
come as pots complete with base, or be used without a
base. When used without a base, ideally Superoots Fielder
fabric should be used, but alternatives are concrete,
plastic or a chemically treated ground cover fabric.
The Air-Pot containers must be assembled so that the
cones with holes are pointing outwards. Thus, the closed
inward pointing cones direct the roots out to the open
ended cones where they are pruned by the air at the
outer edge.
The containers can be made to any diameter in a variety
of heights which makes it easy for the grower to produce
a rootball of varied dimensions to suit the tree or
the client.
With the great majority of roots growing laterally
and being pruned, rooting down is never a problem.
The root systems of plants grown in the Superoots Air-Pot
normally lock up the potting mix in about two months
to allow the lifting of the plant without the loss
of the mix out of the bottom.
