230mm – 5.0L Anti Root Spiralling Pot (Air Pruning Pot)

The 230mm 5.0L Anti Root Spiralling Pot is a professional-grade air pruning container designed to eliminate root circling and promote a vigorous, fibrous root system. Its specialized internal design guides roots toward ventilation points, triggering natural aerial root pruning that prevents girdling and ensures long-term plant health.

Manufactured in Italy to commercial nursery standards, this 5-litre pot provides a durable and efficient environment for larger plants requiring superior root architecture and rapid establishment post-transplant.

How Anti Root Spiralling Pots Work

Traditional smooth-walled containers often cause roots to spiral when they hit the sides, leading to a root-bound state that weakens the plant. Anti Root Spiralling Pots feature a unique interior with vertical ribs that direct root growth outward. When the root tips encounter air at the openings, they naturally prune, which stimulates the plant to produce a dense network of lateral feeder roots. This results in a balanced root ball that absorbs nutrients and water more efficiently.

Why Choose a 5L Anti Root Spiralling Pot?

The 5.0-litre volume offers a significant growing space for plants that need an extended duration in the container before moving to their final location. By ensuring the roots do not spiral during this critical growth phase, the 230mm Anti Root Spiralling Pot ensures that the plant remains healthy and ready for explosive growth once it is transplanted into the ground or a larger vessel.

FAQs

What is an anti root spiralling pot?
It is a specialized container designed with internal geometry that stops roots from circling the inside of the pot, instead encouraging them to branch out into a healthy, fibrous system.

How does air pruning benefit the plant?
Air pruning stops the elongation of the main roots and forces the plant to create many smaller feeder roots. This significantly increases the surface area for nutrient and water uptake.

Is the 5 litre size suitable for advanced trees?
Yes, the 5L capacity is excellent for established young trees and large shrubs, providing enough room for a strong root foundation while preventing girdling.

Are these pots reusable?
Yes. These are commercial-grade pots manufactured to withstand professional nursery conditions and can be reused over multiple seasons.

Where is this pot manufactured?
The 230mm 5.0L Anti Root Spiralling Pot is manufactured in Italy to high horticultural standards.
