HTG Supply Ultra Oxy Pot Indoor/Outdoor 7.5 Gallon Black Super Air-Pruning Planter - Single

This planter is truly impressive. This 7.5 gallon pot holds the equivalent soil of an average 5 gallon pot. The pot screws together on the sides and comes with a round, plastic bottom with holes cut in it for irrigation. This pot allows the plant roots to grow and not become "root bound" in the bottom of the pot. I started with some fabric pots and added these with tomatoes and pepper plants planted in each. The tomato and pepper plants that I out in these pots are twice the size of the plants I put in the fabric pots. So, they truly do seem to make a difference in the size and health of the plant. They are constructed of a heavy duty plastic and the screws that hold them together are large, plastic screws. These pots are durable enough to be used year after year. Yes, they are a bit pricey, but when you consider that they can be used again and that the plants are more healthy, I think that makes the price worth it. I will only buy these pots from now on. Try them you will not be sorry!

Fast shipping.Personally I found the thickness of the plastic perfect. Thick enough they feel sturdy, but thin enough to still be flexable. The bottom is high pressure mold plastic, and I can see why people have had small soil leaks with these pots. But I lined the bottom with screen and that did the trick. The screws it comes with are plastic and do the job, but a $1.50 upgrade at the hardware store will make it better. But the price makes it even better. Will definitely buy more.

Great pot. I have a competitors "Airpot" and the Ultra Oxy Pot. They both grow great plants with phenomenal roots and the growth is 25% better over my fabric pots. The win for me is the Ultra Oxy Pot is 50% cheaper than the competitors plastic air prune pot. Wait, what? What's the catch? Okay, the Ultra Oxy Pot is a little thinner than the competitors but once filled with soil and plant is planted, it doesn't matter! I will continue to buy these over the competitors pots from now on.

The media could not be loaded. Originally I gave these a 5 star. They are much cheaper than the Root Trainers or Air pots. I have ordered I think, 40 of these Oxy's. I liked them a lot when using them this spring. They were easy to put together and didn't leak when watering the plants.Now its summer, I placed another order and when they came, I couldn't get the screws to screw in. The holes in the container were too small. I left them next to the shade canopies in the morning, so that the holes would soften a little so I could get the screws to work.I came out later in the day, and the containers had MELTED in the sun. Not minor melting.....big time melting.....all the holes had sealed themselves shut and as you can see in the picture, the entire container is melted and warped and cannot be used.I am just really upset. I cannot recommend these containers at all. I have left the Root Trainers and Air Pots in the sun, going on the 8th year now, never had a problem with them. I guess you get what you pay for.

I found the pot to be exactly as described. Easy to assemble. The size I bought is taller than most planters so be sure to measure before you buy if you plan to set it into a decorative planter.

These pots are amazing! They are nice and tall. Once put together they are very rigid. Maintains great root health, and keeps the plants from getting root bound in the pot. Nothing but these from here on out for me!

Been using air-pots for years, have quite a few in several different sizes, and needed a few more in the larger size. Now some competition has entered the market and other products looked promising. I chose these in the 7.5 gal equivalent size because I was interested in developing deeper roots for eventual transplant into the ground. These looked really appealing and I'm glad I chose this one. The 16" height is just what I wanted. They arrived today and they look just as good as the ones I had that cost nearly twice as much. Also, they were a bit easier to put together. My only complaint is that they should have a couple of solid rows (without the holes) which I wanted for the top. There are holes all the way through, which was a little disappointing. With a couple of solid rows at the top, watering is more efficient. Before I buy more, I will contact the seller to see if they have any of those type in stock or if a special order is possible (they are illustrated that way in the instruction booklet). I do like this particular feature which is available in other brands of air-pots. I hope that this manufacturer will incorporate the feature of having two solid rows on one side for all sizes of post. Then they would be perfect! Overall, very satisfied.

The pot design is great, especially the additional height compared to similar pots. However, the plastic material they are made from is extremely brittle and cracks easily, so I do not expect to be able to reuse them. The cracked pieces can be pretty sharp! In addition, the plastic forming was very messy, leaving holes and thin spots. The air pruning holes are very messily made, so I had to redrill some in order to get the screws to go through snd it's a huge pain. There are other brands of air pruning pots which were much higher quality.
