Durable recycled HDPE plastic air pot

The egg-carton-like contours of the Durable recycled HDPE plastic air pot may look unusual, but this unique feature is actually the key to enhancing the air-pruning technique. The concave or inward pointing cones direct roots into the convex cones which are open at the tips.

When the root reaches the opening and is exposed to air, the apical cells at the very tip of the root dehydrate or become air-pruned. Plants respond to air-pruning by generating more roots in the inner root mass to compensate for the loss, which quickly leads to the development of a dense radial root system that will produce healthier, higher-yielding plants.
