285mm – 9.5L Anti Root Spiralling Pot (Air Pruning Pot)

The 285mm 9.5L Anti Root Spiralling Pot is a high-capacity air pruning container designed to prevent root circling and promote strong, fibrous root development. Its advanced internal ribbing and aeration design encourage natural aerial root pruning, creating a balanced, non-girdling root system ideal for larger plants and extended growing cycles.

Manufactured in Italy to commercial horticultural standards, this durable black nursery pot is suitable for professional growers and serious gardeners who require superior plant performance and transplant success.

How Anti Root Spiralling Pots Work

Traditional smooth-sided pots often cause roots to spiral around the container wall, leading to root binding and long-term plant stress. The Anti Root Spiralling Pot directs roots outward toward air openings. When root tips reach air, they naturally prune, stimulating lateral branching and forming a dense fibrous root ball rather than circling roots.
