These pots facilitate air pruning to eliminate root circling and promote explosive root growth. The unique material each pot is created from actively funnels outgrowing roots towards the air where they are pruned this then stimulates root branching and new root formation to increase overall root density and enhance nutrient uptake and plant performance. The roots either make it to the holes and are pruned, or are redirected back into the middle of the pot instead of circling around the edge. To put it simply they give u a much denser root mass, so u can grow a larger plant in a smaller pot!so wait i never really researched air pots
how the hell does all the water/medium not come dripping out everywhere with all the holes in the sides of the pot
what is the concept behind why air pots work well
I'll have to water carefully, i'm considering boxing up the sides of the airpot just to prevent any water that comes out the holes from going all over the place. Either that, or i might cut the bottom off a black bin bag and put the air pot inside, will stop water going everywhere and still allow plenty of air flow around the pot.
