PLANT!T 37L 10g Square Base DirtPot with Handle

Description

Product Description Ever tried the amazing benefits of air pruning? No? Well if you haven't and you grow in coco coir or soil then you should. As your plant grows, it sends out roots into the soil from the main tap root and as they reach the bottom or side of a pot they will start to circle it. Having taken a plant out of a pot you will have seen a mass of circling roots at the base. This clumping of roots is commonly known as a root bound plant and it can seriously reduce nutrient uptake. If a root makes contact with light and air, it will stop growing and this is known as air pruning. With the unique micro porous fabric that has been specially developed for the PLANT!T Dirt Pot, when your roots hit the side they will try to grow through the material and not circle around t. As the root grows through and reaches the air, it is pruned and stops growing. It will now focus on sending out many secondary roots from the pruned root. These secondary roots will then also grow through the pot and be pruned and the same thing happens again. Eventually you get a pot that is full of active roots with no circling. Stronger roots, better roots, more roots = a plant that will grow better and have better nutrient uptake. Due to its breathable nature, the media needs to be kept moist. If the media dries out then the fabric can come away from the media, thus leaving a space for water to drop down the sides and a dehydrated plant. For this reason, we recommend that you irrigate from the top with a PLANT!T Watering Ring or drippers. The plants have reinforced seams and strength-tested fabric, so they won't tear when supporting even the heaviest crop. Incorporated into the design of the two larger sizes are handles to allow for moving your crops and loops to take canes for plant support. Box Contains 1 square fabric dirt pot
