Root Pruning Pots - 18 Litre Volume (300mm x 250mm) - Commercial Air Pruning & Advanced Root Trainer

ROOT PRUNING POTS - 18 Litre Volume (300mm x 250mm) - Commercial Air Pruning & Advanced Root Trainer

This Root Pruning Pot is a high-capacity, two-part container system engineered for maximizing root health and plant vigor in larger specimens. Featuring an 18 Litre volume with a wide 300mm diameter and balanced 250mm height, the pot utilizes a unique dimpled and perforated structure to actively channel roots to the outside, where they are naturally air pruned. This process eliminates harmful root spiraling and forces dense lateral root branching.

Best For  Commercial nurseries, large-scale hydroponic operations, and advanced gardeners seeking superior establishment, faster growth, and optimal root structure for fruit trees, large shrubs, and heavy-feeding annual crops.

Key Features

• Advanced Air Pruning Technology: The perforated side walls and open base instantly stop root circling, creating highly branched, dense, and fibrous root systems that dramatically improve nutrient and water uptake.

• Large 18 Litre Capacity: Ideal size for growing substantial fruit trees (like citrus or stone fruits), mature shrubs, and large hydroponic vegetables, providing long-term soil volume.

• Two-Part Removable Design: Allows for non-disruptive inspection and easy transplanting of the perfectly formed root ball, minimizing plant shock.

• Optimized Root Zone Oxygenation: The unique dimpled and perforated structure maximizes air flow to the roots, enhancing respiration and supporting explosive top growth.

• Eliminates Root Deformity: By channeling roots outward, the pot ensures strong, non-distorted root architecture, vital for the structural stability and long-term health of large plants.
