Aerated HERCULES flower pot - round, 3 L

Product detailed description

HERCULES pots are highly unusual pots designed for excellent root system development. Thanks to the reinforced top section, they are very easy to work with when the optimal amount of soil is maintained, and they can be stored or moved without any problem, with no risk of warping.

The expansion of the root system is one of the main reasons for container degradation and loss of elasticity. To prevent these disruptions to the pot caused by growing root masses, they are equipped with an uneven base and protrusions on the inner side, which distribute the force of the roots.

Excess water is the main cause of root rot and the creation of an unfavourable environment in the soil. Thanks to drainage holes around the entire circumference, this problem is completely eliminated. The removal of excess water is also made easier by the unique design of the pot base.

Ideal water supply is a problem given the specific needs of different plant species and the many types of pots and irrigation systems available on the market. Proper watering is, however, at the same time a guarantee of health and quality, which is why HERCULES pots are made in a perforated design so as to maintain aeration in the ideal range to support root growth. The root system can expand until the final stages of the plant's life cycle, while at the same time its growth out of the pot is limited. The holes are positioned to ensure even radial root growth and prevent their curling and twisting, which could complicate repotting and prevent the plant from taking up nutrients evenly.

Of course, it is necessary to use a growing medium that itself allows oxygen to pass through to the roots - coconut fibre is ideal.

Advantages:
- unusual wall construction with large holes for maximum air supply to the roots
- inner shape resembling a cone or egg, which prevents the so-called "spooling" effect, where roots turn around the pot circumference
- inner sides pressed inwards - minimal root penetration
- suitable for use in hydroponics and aeroponics

Dimensions:
- top diameter: 18.5 cm
- bottom diameter: 14 cm
- height: 17.5 cm
