AutoPot XXL FlexiPot - 139L

Product detailed description

AutoPot FlexiPot 139 l - maxi fabric pot for the largest plants

FlexiPot 139 l is the largest fabric pot in the AutoPot range - 139 litres of substrate is intended for large plants, big tubs and trees or demanding commercial cultivation. Even at this volume, the breathable fabric lets the root zone breathe, so the plant roots through the entire volume with a denser and healthier root system than in plastic.

How air-pruning works

As soon as a root reaches the porous wall of the pot, air and light from outside stop it from growing further - so-called air-pruning. The plant then creates a rich secondary, fibrous root structure instead of one long root, with significantly better uptake of moisture and nutrients. The typical circling of roots around the wall, which troubles plastic pots, is also eliminated - so you get the maximum out of even the largest plant from a smaller volume.

Breathable fabric without BPA and lead

FlexiPot is made from material without BPA and lead, with no odour and no leaching. The porous textile improves gas exchange in the substrate, so more oxygen stays in the root zone. Unlike ordinary fabric bags, FlexiPot has a solid base and keeps the plant upright. The pot is durable and reusable: after emptying, let it dry, then brush off dust and fine roots, and for sterilisation you can wash it in a washing machine or in a bath with a peroxide solution.

Where FlexiPot 139 l belongs

This volume is used with the easy2GO set or with the Auto5 XXL tray and collar (AutoPot systems with the AQUAvalve5 valve). When growing with easy2GO, fit a copper sleeve onto the cam (AQUAvalve) so roots do not grow through the cam. Place the pot in the saucer so that the fabric does not touch the AQUAvalve.

Substrate and start-up

Always use a free-draining substrate in the FlexiPot; 50/50 mixes have proved effective - for example soil with perlite or coco with expanded clay. Before placing it in the saucer, clean the base and walls of substrate. After planting, water the plant, let it drain outside the saucer and allow 7-10 days for rooting, only then start the system - the roots will then take care of the water from the saucer themselves.

Humidity in the room

Bear in mind that several fabric pots placed next to each other may slightly increase humidity in the room - exposed areas of breathable fabric evaporate more than plastic. For larger setups, therefore, make sure there is sufficient ventilation.
