In regular standard pots, roots continue to grow: in endless circles along the walls of the pot. Due to all that growth, they hardly have time to absorb nutrients.Air pots have openings on the side. As soon as a root comes near them, it stops growing. This is called air pruning.As a result, the plant develops new roots and forms a strong root system with many young and healthy roots.The consequence is that your plants grow faster and stronger. Moreover, you don't have to repot them as quickly and they suffer less from being transplanted to their final location: your vegetable garden bed or an MM-mini.Furthermore, these pots are durable and long-lasting, can be reused year after year, and are made of recyclable plastic.
