Plant pots, which are also part of Urban Planty vertical, are made of eco-friendly materials such as jute or coconut. They both hold water for a longer period of time, thus giving more moisture to the soil as if it was regularly watered. The bottom of the pot is made of recycled plastic and functions as a water reservoir. It can be used for herbs, flowers and vegetables.
Coconut pots can be used for herbs, flowers, orchids and some vegetables.
HERE ARE 5 FACTS WHY COCONUT POTS ARE BETTER THAN OTHER PLANT GROWING POTS!
1) Drainage holes help to protect sensitive roots
Excess water can easily drain to water reservoir keeping moisture at an ideal level for healthy plant growth. It helps to protect roots from rot, fungus and bacteria.
2) Water holding ability of coco coir
Coco coir has excellent water holding capacity while still promoting good drainage and aeration. It's thus giving more moisture to the soil as if it was regularly watered.
3) Air pruning and root structure
Air pruning capability results in healthier roots being able to provide more nutrients to the plant. When the plant roots reach the pot's edge its root tips are trapped by the porous fiber. When these root tips meet the air, they are naturally pruned. This pruning process forces lateral branching of roots and increases overall root mass throughout the media.
4) Temperature Control
Coco fiber allows air to penetrate the sides of the container, keeping it cool when exposed to direct sun on hot summer days through the process of evaporative cooling.
5) Roots have direct access to the water reservoir
Watering through water reservoir doesn't require the use of a saucer. The air cone provides the drainage of excess water.
