Air Pots – The Many Hidden Advantages


The biggest struggle that hydroponic gardeners face is the selection process of the equipment and products that have an inevitable role to play in the gardening process. Apart from deciding which hydroponic system is truly amazing for you it is equally important to decide on the hydroponic grow pot, depending primarily on the kind of plantation that you’re looking forward to growing in. 


Among the latest available options of grow pots are air pots and if you have little or no information about them then here’s something important and essential.
An air pot is a plastic container with holes around the sides. One of its best features is its rigid design that allows for roots to shot out of the sides exposing them to air which naturally dries them out causing them to self-prune. The size is taller and slimmer when compared to a regular growing pot and that may make it possible to place more plants in a smaller space but not to finish them in since plants need room to mature to reach their full potential.
 
Why Choose Air Pots – The Primary Reason
Air pot containers assist in preventing plants from getting root-bound. That is achieved by “air-pruning” the roots on the sides via holes, which prevents your roots from wrapping around the inside of your container and “choking” the plant.
Using an Air-Pot isn’t just a choice of pot – it is a decision to bring about a complete change in the way pots are selected and used. Compared to normal plant containers these pots are definitely not cheap, but the massive benefits gained from superior plants that the Air-Pot system produces, far outweighs the initial investment.
Here are some of these advantages –

· Air-Pot grown plants are healthier because the root base develops more therefore producing larger plants and bigger harvests.
· Air-Pot plants grow faster, who doesn’t want to finish quicker and better.
· Air-Pot grown plants need repotting less frequently, meaning less labour.
The Air-Pot system gives you more flexibility. Plants can stay in the Air-Pot® for an extra season or you can repot them with a more valuable plant for the next season.

Another benefit of using rockwool cubes is that it can be reused for plants with different botanical families. Although they are a man-made product, they are acceptable in organic growing systems because of the basaltic salt and rock constituents.
