Omar Baassiri Idea of using jeans or any thick fabric is to allow air entry but not water draining quickly during watering. Air enters through holes and through Jean's and hits the growing roots.
Won't this method dry out the soil too quickly? I'm guessing you would have to choose plants that tolerate drought quite well. I live in Argentina and summer is arriving. I did have an ecomesh bag with an ice plant and it did very well, but I can't imagine it being very good for say a petunia. What do you think?
It works extremely well,the only disadvantages are using these pots in winter as cold temperatures will kill the plant, but there are many methods to help in cold temperatures, put the airpot in a plastic bag and put dry grass or leafs that protect the wall,if you want put some dry leafs on top of the soil aswell to prevent frost bite. This method will also help keep the soil medium from drying out to fast.
I look up to you and I have been more successful with my plants because of everything you taught me on your channel and I have never known that I didn't have to try so hard on plants and instead they don't require as much care as I was putting into them thank you!
He is correct! I used a one inch hole saw attachment on my drill and put 5 or 6 holes around the pot. I then hot glued plastic netting to cover those holes. Filled the pots with soil and put Pothos in the that’s growing fast, strong and tall. He is so right about this. I am getting a smaller hole saw for my 3-4 inch pots.
What a great video. I’ve been growing plants since the 70s in the last 10 years thinking of ways to get more air to the root system and healthier roots. It’s horrible with solid plastic pots smelling the rot in the bottom because of no air circulation.
Inspired by your vedio i tried few of my plants .it worked wounders.now i have made almost all my plastic pot with many big holes and planted.because of this i dont have to fertilize often and no problem of losing the soil.tons of thanks sir.💐💐
About five years ago I bought a lot of air pruning pots from both companies, Air Pots and Root Trainers. I am a farmer living in the desert and they did not work for me, the pots kept drying out. Several years ago I switched over to the Kratky method and utilized the air pots which didn't work. I put the Air Pots and Root Trainers in a 10" net basket, which goes inside a 5 gallon bucket. I keep the water level up to the bottom 2-3 inches of the air pot. I water from the top, so it serves a dual purpose. To wick the media must be damp. It has worked really well. This year we put all our 5 gallon buckets (veggies,etc) and 55 gallon barrels (for trees) sunk in the ground up to the rims. Running air stones in them. The water stays quite cool - a real success here in the desert. We do however, grow everything under 80% aluminet shade cloth.
+Elementaldomain Thanks, it's like you were reading my mind. I watched the video and thought to myself, that will never work where I live as it's just too hot and dry. I have found that many of my plants just get too hot when they are not in the ground, being in any kind of pot seems to be very hard on the roots when the temp goes over 40 degrees C almost every day of the summer; plus the fact that they would dry so quickly in an air pot. Your suggestion sounds like a very good one, although kind of a lot to go through. I keep playing with the seasons, trying to get things to grow by planting them in the fall once it cools down a bit, but this has very mixed results. Mostly the plants just barely hang on until early spring, meaning they might produce early, but not completely out of season. I'm guessing this is due to the length of the days getting continuously shorter until the first day of winter, and then we get into our very coldest time of year until about mid-February. I will try the method you outline to see if it can work here. By the way, I am in Palm Springs, zone 9b (I think). Where are you growing?
Elementaldomain I am in the high desert so o was wondering. I tried planting in bags and they all died. I was thinking about using 5 gall buckets and drippers and also let them wick up. I just can't weed anymore. I built one wicking bed last year with a tote. I'm putting in two more. The hard labor is getting too much for me.
If you cannot bury five gallon buckets, then try two gallon. You will just have to add water a little more often. I did not find drippers work at all because desert water is very high alkaline and will quickly clog the drippers with mineral deposits. You can try something else though that works really well - get one of those wading pools at Walmart - the 4' wide ones. Then put your totes in there. I keep all my strawberries that way. However, if you are going to use the wading pools, you cannot have them in the sun, they have to be under some kind of shade. I grow under 70-90% shade for everything I grow, including fruit trees.
Elementaldomain I have a 80ft high tunnel with 70%shade cloth. That might be enough. The tunnel is full of Bermuda grass and I am not using round up to get rid of it so I'm looking into container planting. But it's too hot for aquaponics. Desert gardening!
Thanks i was precisely looking at airgrowers and thinking "well it's just flexible plastic with holes, with funny texture, there must be a diy way of achieving similar results" thanks so much for this video you uploaded 5 years ago ❤
Hi friend. I have tried this experiment.on the small hibiscus plant. It has worked wonders. Once again thank you friend for sharing this experiment. God bless you.
Hello from South Africa, I am a hibiscus fan and just made some cuttings today... please share your ideas on how to ensure successful growth of my hibiscus cuttings.....thanks!!!
Nemaste Dr. Naazir. I have just discovered your Garden Tips website and I think that it is WONDERFUL. I just LOVE your gardening tips as they mostly make use of household items which are readily available. What's more, I love your recycling ideas. Great for ecology and reducing waste. Thank you so much for your videos that are chockful of info and presented in a simple, no nonsense manner. With Metta.
Great info, thank you 🙂🙏 Maybe covering the soil on top with mulch, like grass also helps with moisture retention? I'm covering my garden bed and I don't have to water much 😊
Hello DR. This Method of Air Pruning is very Beneficial for plants like Ferns, Asparagus, and many more, can minimise the bigger pots in terrace, specially cost consumption, good effective for seasonal, lastly we can change, remove container without damaging the roots. Ur research is GENIUS.
Larry Hall does videos on air pruning and he waters his plants in a kidde pool. I've done that before and plan to do again...just have to get another pool My dog gives me the LOOK. when I use hers..lol😀 You can get plastic baskets(they look like little trash cans) at Dollar Tree they work.have orchids in them.
I have never heard of this before! I am keen to try it as soon as the sun comes up tomorrow : ) Thank you for sharing. Regards from Brisbane (Australia)
Need a video from you for maintaining plants indoors in cold months ..always looking forward to your videos; scientific explanations and total info. Thank you so much
I bought real air pruning pots. I am going to use Happy Frog potting soil and mix in water crystals. I tried the laundry basket type last year. Plants didn't do as well as I wanted. I think I used regular dirt instead of potting mix. At the end of the year, I removed the soil 'ball'. VERY solid with dirt and roots. So much so that if I wanted to break it open it would take some work.
I am air pruning most of my container plants. I use a soap/shampoo basket with holes that I bought at a plastic store and cover the holes with a fabric from an eco bag. :)
I grow in regular planters with no holes. To prune the roots, I use a 10 inch dry wall saw. Insert the saw into the soil next to the planter wall. Just saw around the planter wall all around the container. It's very quick and doesn't hurt the root system.
Truly Amazing!! My plants grew so fast, the moment I put the seed into the soil, smoke appeared and poof it became the adult plant. Thumbs up to this 1000x faster grow method.
Try using a mesh like fabric and make bag containers ive done it with old reusable shoping bags and the roots were like what you described i didn't realise it was air pruning the roots. Ill do it on other plants wich are pot bound too i think.
Awesome explanation and planting tips, but what do you do when the roots start protruding through the container holes as the plants get bigger? Do you cut the protruding roots? Do you ever need to transplant into larger pots? What types of plants are best suited for air pruning? Are there plants NOT suitable for this? Can a tree, shrub or very large plant grow using this method, and if so, how do you deternine the starting pot size (or do you need to keep trandplanting?)?
Hi, thank u. Depending on which plant you wanna grow and depending on the size you want, you better choose a larger container instead of transplanting often. For seasonal flowering plants small sized containers will suffice. That's the idea.
Thank you very much for the great video, I'm going to try this on one of my plants, I'm practicing my green thumb on vegetables rite now, I want to grow blue berries strawberries black berries, they all came back every year, can I do them in 5galon buckets in doors, I got some grow lights ?.
Thanks for watching,commenting and sharing your experience. Growing Indoors under grow lights, I have absolutely no experience, because we have enough sunlight in our zone. Regards.
I buy a product called Soil Moist... it is lithe crystals that absorb 50x their weight in water. They hold water until the plant needs it... the expansion and contraction of the crystals as they absorb and then release the water helps to keep the soil loose and aerated.... it doesn't get soggy... if you would use to much it just look like you are growing chunks of clear jello... best invention for plants
GARDEN TIPS the negative comments are coming from Indian guys, i don't know why, why do they envy your knowledge and your help, you seem to be a very nice man. I think Indian guys are too jealous ? Greetings from eastern europe
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Negative comments are a common thing at UA-cam. The can come more from jealous competitors and some from people who donot like my videos or accent specially many Americans. Anyways Am not down with all these and my overall likes percentage is about 95 percent. Regards Dr.Naazir
Awesome video. I've tried my own air pruning. btw, I am Asian & used to be negative, too :( until I realized that being positive is always good to my mood and in turn to my life.
Brilliant video! to maintain water retention, would you suggest mulch layer on the surface? I am currently using wicking beds and they are great for long periods of water saving, would it be possible to combine the two ideas? a air pruning system with a wicking bed water delivery system? Although wicking beds use soil, I would suppose it would be more like aquaponics with a constant water supply, with nutrients and great root aeration.
Appreciate all the effort but to draw a conclusion from an experiment you must have a control to compare the results to. Hope you could do that in future.
The reason you desert rose grew a root ball is because it was growing in clay, clay limits aeration so instead of the plant growing in the clay it grew around it in the walls of the pot
You can also start seedlings in 2-3" net pots and then plant the net pots to avoid transplantation shock. Not for plants with large taproots. You can use a piece of toilet paper to keep the soil in. The roots will grow through it. I have a pot of zinnias doing very well that were started with this method.
good information..regarding the air prunning..and your coco pot...but sir you didnt show comparison result of your so innovative pots the drill plastic pots verses the coco pot of the similar plants and similar conditions. ? thanks.
the trees that i plan to grow in my pallete boxes should benefit from this.btw,how many litres of soil do u think would be appropriate for a mango tree using this method?for a conventional container,it says 150-200 litres.curious on how much lesser soil I could use via the method you mentioned..thanks fr the vid Dr
Thanks. You need atleast 300 litres of soil to start. What I have done to grow large trees is use a container of atleast 500 to 600 litres vol and fill 300 litres soil. Then as the tree grows I add more.
Really good idea I enjoyed this Video on Air Pruning and Planting Concept. You Spoke Well and you had a Lot of Great Information on your Topic which I thoroughly Understood. I too Used this Concept on some of my Plants and had Great Success in Growth. Thank you. Great Video.
Another tip if you are drilling holes in a container. Try drilling it counter-clockwise while pressing down so there is a greater chance you won't damage the container. :D
Cut a piece of wood to the i.d. size of the pot. The drill through plastic into wood to avoid cracks. Also torch and hot nail held in visegrips works to pierce if no drill is on hand.

That yuvagreen fabric bag ( link of amazon), do we need to make holes all around for air pruning? Great video, thanks
No need to make holes. It’s already a fabric bag with porosity. Drainage holes are already present.

Thank you for sharing..Does the fabric decay or be cause for rot generation ?
Yes it does but takes a long time. By then your plant would be due for repot in a larger container.
so interesting and using aquaponics water with this would be an interesting experiment.
new method, thank you, i will try it
Great gardening tips ! But i have a confusion.... you did not make any drainage hole in cocopots .... doesn't it require?
Usually not needed, it will seep out itself. But if your soil is not well draining, better make at least one small hole.
Thanx
good information..regarding the air prunning..and your coco pot...but sir you didnt show comparison result of your so innovative pots the drill plastic pots verses the coco pot of the similar plants and similar conditions. ? thanks.

Thanks. You need atleast 300 litres of soil to start. What I have done to grow large trees is use a container of atleast 500 to 600 litres vol and fill 300 litres soil. Then as the tree grows I add more.
Nice video. Question: how does your coco coir pot air prune when there were no holes placed around the pot?
It is porous indeed. There are drainage holes for these. Water comes out just like that.
