gazza308 Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Teasing or tickling the roots of a plant refers to loosening pot-bound roots. Many plants we bring home from the nursery have been growing in the same pot for months. They look fine on top, but when you slide the plant out of its container, the roots are a circling, tangled next. Loosening the roots before planting in the ground will allow you to spread the roots out in all directions, so they will branch out in the soil and from a good foundation for the plant. This is a good planting technique for all plants, but it is crucial for plants that are pot bound. I ripped this of the google for ya.

And the air pots or whatever they are called that he has it in should have the root tips pruned ready to take off into new medium , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the whole point of these pots I believe Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza308 Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Yeah good point, still Air pots sounds like a load of bollocks to me if they were any good you probably wouldn’t be in this situation. No risk no reward. You do what you want bb. Different strokes for different folks. Either way you’ll be right.

Porky 1982 Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Those air pots open up into a flat piece. If i was you BB i would go bye a 50lt or bigger and just plant it in the pot still in the air pot. Or just water it twice daily. The idea of those air pots is you can grow a far larger plant in a smaller pot. I use them but they need to be watered far more often.

Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile appYeah in the mean time I've upped the watering to twice daily and it's made a big difference. I'll keep monitoring it over the week and see if I can get my hands on a bigger pot by the weekend Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattdread Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 The best way to rejuvinate plants in hot weather is to put them in a tub of water, I let mine have a drink twice a week. You can put hydroponic solution into it so they get a feed as well. Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
