300mm – 10L Anti Spiral Pot With Feet

The 300mm 10L Anti Spiral Pot with Integrated Feet is a high-capacity, professional-grade container designed for plants that require a highly aerated and free-draining growing environment. Featuring built-in feet, this model elevates the container to maximize airflow beneath the pot, facilitating superior aerial root pruning and preventing the common issue of root circling.

Manufactured in Australia to commercial nursery standards, this 10-litre pot is specifically engineered for advanced trees, shrubs, and sensitive species like orchids that thrive in oxygen-rich root zones.

How Anti Spiral Pots Work

Traditional pots often lead to girdled roots that spiral around the container wall, eventually choking the plant. Anti Spiral Pots use a series of internal vertical ribs to guide roots toward specialized air-ventilation points. When the root tips reach the air, they stop growing (air pruning), which triggers the plant to develop a dense system of lateral feeder roots. The integrated feet on this 300mm model ensure that the base remains ventilated, allowing air pruning to occur effectively across the entire root ball.

Features and Benefits

• Integrated feet for maximum base aeration and drainage
• Prevents root spiralling and girdling for healthier plant structure

Why Choose a 10L Anti Spiral Pot with Feet?

The 10-litre volume combined with a 360mm height makes this pot ideal for plants with deep root systems that require a longer nursery cycle. The inclusion of integrated feet is a critical advantage for growers who place pots directly on the ground or on solid benches, as it prevents the drainage holes from being blocked. This results in a superior moisture-to-oxygen ratio and a perfectly pruned root ball ready for permanent planting.

FAQs

What is the purpose of the feet on this pot?
The feet lift the pot off the surface to ensure that air can circulate freely under the container. This prevents "pot-bottom" root circling and ensures the drainage holes remain clear and functional.

Is this pot suitable for orchids?
Yes. The 300mm Anti Spiral Pot with Feet provides the exceptional drainage and root-zone aeration that orchids and other high-oxygen plants need to thrive.

How does air pruning improve plant growth?
By stopping the elongation of taproots at the pot wall, the plant is forced to produce more secondary feeder roots. This increases the surface area for nutrient and water absorption, leading to faster top-growth.

Is there a version of this pot without feet?
Yes, if you do not require the extra elevation, the standard 300mm Anti Spiral Pot (Model: P300SP) is also available.

Where is this pot made?
The 300mm 10L Anti Spiral Pot with Feet is proudly manufactured in Australia for the professional horticultural industry.
