Over time this creates a tangled, root-bound mass that limits water and nutrient uptake and increases transplant shock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eAir pruning pots solve this problem. The sides of the pot are covered in small openings. When a root tip reaches one of these openings and is exposed to air, it naturally stops growing (it is “air pruned”). The plant responds by sending out new lateral roots. The result is a dense, fibrous root system full of healthy feeder roots instead of circling ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"auto\"\u003eWhy We Use Them at Plumeria Fans Nursery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eWe grow our plumeria in air pruning pots because they produce superior root systems that establish quickly and handle Louisiana’s heat, humidity, and heavy rainfall much better than plants grown in standard pots.
