AutoPot XXL FlexiPot - 35L

Product detailed description

AutoPot FlexiPot 35 l - spacious fabric pot for mature plants

FlexiPot 35 l takes the breathable textile pot into the XXL family - 35 litres of substrate will feed larger plants with a longer vegetative cycle. The fabric walls let the roots breathe, so the plant builds a denser root system than in plastic and handles water and nutrient uptake better.

How air-pruning works

As soon as a root tip reaches the porous wall of the pot, the 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. It also eliminates the typical circling of roots around the wall that troubles plastic pots - so you can grow more from one plant in a smaller volume.

Breathable fabric without BPA and lead

FlexiPot is made from material without BPA and lead, with no odour or 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 sturdy base and keeps the plant upright. The pot is durable and reusable: after emptying it, 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 in a peroxide solution.

Where the FlexiPot 35 l belongs

The 35 l textile pot fits into a round saucer and collar of the appropriate size across AutoPot systems with the AQUAvalve5 valve - for example into the 1Pot XXL family or the easy2GO kit. When growing in a system, place a copper PotSock Round XXL 35 l on the bottom of the pot so the roots do not head towards the valve. Insert the pot so that the fabric does not touch the AQUAvalve.

Substrate and start-up

Always use a freely draining substrate in the FlexiPot; 50/50 mixes have proven themselves - for example soil with perlite or coco with expanded clay. Before placing it in the saucer, clean the bottom and walls of substrate. After planting, water the plant, let it drain outside the saucer and root for 7-10 days, 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 side by side 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.
