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.
Superoots is
pleased to introduce a new, improved Air-Pot design. It features an
angled seam that offers a fantastic improvement in joint strength and
reduces the cost and the time of assembly. The real benefits of using
Superoots Air-Pots are that they
- Eliminate root
circling.
- Reduce growing time on the nursery.
- Simplify
production.
- Double - at least - the "shelf-life" of stock.
- Reduce
losses dramatically.
- Ensure Superior Performance in Extremes of
Weather.
- The Air-Pot is made of recycled HDPE.
