What Are Net Pots?

Net pots are used in to grow young plants to avoid disturbing the root system. They're also used in media-free, hydroponic systems – net pots are used for suspending the bare roots of plants above/in a nutrient reservoir or flow of nutrients.

Net pots are used when you have developed a root system in your cuttings or seedlings and can transplant your young plants. When it's time to transplant, you don't need to disturb the roots of your plants, instead, use net pots, the net pots can hold the growth media, and give your plants support and let you transplant seamlessly.

Net Pots Allow Roots to Grow Out

The structure of the net pot allows the plants' roots to easily grow out of the pot. The roots get plenty of aeration, and the simple 'lift and go' method makes them perfectly compatible with a range of hydroponics systems, like:

Aeroponics
Deep Water culture
Nutrient Film Technique

These Net Pots make perfect small plant pots. They're made of tough plastic, with perforations all over. This lets the roots grow through the perforations and on into the aeroponic environment. No more worries about root damage for your future transplanting.

What Should The Water Level Be For Net Pots?

It's a good idea to develop the root system of young plants before you place them in net pots. Once you move plants to net pots, use the neoprene collars to keep the plant in place and tease the roots out through the holes in the net pots. To start with keep the water level about 1-2" under the net pots. It's a good idea to use an air pump and air stone to keep the nutrient solution oxygenated. Once the roots are growing and seeking nutrient solution, encourage them to seek more aggressively by dropping the water level. Drop the level, so only around 1/4 of the longest roots are submerged.

Why Use Net Pots To Grow Plants?

Net Pots are robust and reusable, so you can use them over and over. They're most suited to DWC systems such as Oxypots and Aeroponics like the Amazon but can also be used in ebb and flow systems like the flo-gro series and in NFT systems like the gro-tank series.

What Size Are Net Pots Available in?

Net pots are available in the following sizes:

50mm net pots are like for like replacements for the Xtreme series
80mm net pots are replacements for Amazon systems.
140mm net pots are ideal for Oxypot systems.

20-litre bucket.
Optional* Bulkhead gland, 90-degree elbow and a length of clear tube to see the nutrient level and to drain the reservoir.
