Height: 235 mm

The top row of cones is closed and act as a water reservoir.

The 7.5 L Air-Pot® is a more squat version of the 9 L Air-Pot®, being the same diameter but with two less rows of cones. It is great for young fruit trees, small shrubs, and flowering bulbs, corms and tubers that need good drainage and aeration. It is perfect for growing chillies as perennials, and many long-lived herbs and flowers will thrive in this container too.

The advantages of this size over the 9 L size are more apparent in a nursery or other environment utilising drip irrigation/fertigation. The smaller container volume means less potting medium is required, thus offering huge savings over large numbers of containers. However, this smaller volume also means  a higher water demand by the root ball, and the containers may dry out more quickly than the 9 L — adjust watering to suit.

A 10% discount is automatically applied on five or more containers.

Please note that Australia Post charges are applied during checkout, and are based on cubic weight as the 7.5 L Air-Pot containers are very light but quite bulky.
Having said that, one container is so light that it can be sent anywhere in Australia for the same price. Two to three containers can be sent for one price determined by postcode, then 4-10 containers for another price determined by postcode.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch for a quote on larger numbers — or to ask about a custom order with other sizes for that matter!

Air-Pot containers are very light but can get bulky quite quickly, especially when packing multiples and combining different sizes.

This is the origin of the Combo Packs, with the aim of giving people best value for money.

But of course these won’t suit everyone — some people might have very specific requirements such as two 38 L and twenty 1 L containers.

This presents challenges when it comes to calculating freight during checkout — the above example would easily fit in one box, but because we didn’t foresee this particular combination, the shop assumes two boxes will be sent, and adds the individual postage for each.

If you are getting a postage shock on multiple items during checkout, please do make contact and we’ll do our very best to help. We may well be able to courier a box too large for Australia Post, yet for a good price for its size. This gives you incredible flexibility with custom orders.

And should you pay the postage during checkout on, say, two boxes, when I can and do pack everything into one box:
Please note that I will refund the extra postage paid.

Local pick-up is welcome — we’re in Gwynneville, near Wollongong University.
Pick-up is by mutual arrangement please, as we don’t have a shopfront.

Having said that, we are always here and more often than not can easily fit in with whichever day and time suits you best!
Feel free to suggest preferred pick-up time(s) in the comments box during checkout and we’ll reply as soon as we see the notification.

Especial Note Regarding Large Air-Pot® Orders
Depending on the order, we may suggest that large Air-Pot® orders are best sent directly to you from the warehouse.

Especial Note Regarding Jujube Trees
When posting out bare-rooted jujube trees, we routinely trim them to fit the box and keep postage costs to a minimum. These trees are typically knee-high when planted out, though some may be smaller.

This of course doesn’t apply for pick-ups, and in fact we will set aside the tallest trees specifically for this purpose. These trees can often be hip-high, and sometimes taller again.
Please note that this is not a guarantee, as heights of different cultivars can differ from year to year.

When the tap root reaches the base, increased air in the growing medium dehydrates the tip, pruning it and stimulating lateral root branching.

Each of the lateral roots is then steered by the shape of the wall towards an air hole, where it is also air-pruned, causing yet more branching.

The process is continually repeated until the plant has developed a dense mass of fibrous roots. This amazing root structure leads to increased take up of nutrients and water, faster growth, and healthier trees.

Air-Pot® containers are the original and the best air-pruning containers around, and have been made in Scotland, UK from recycled plastic since 1997. They are UV-stabilised and last many years in our harsh Australian climate — I can attest to that!

Highly-regarded by gardeners and horticultural experts worldwide for the superior and dense root systems they develop — watch this short three-minute for a demonstration of the air-pruning in action!
