Product name: Clear Net Pot 14cm – Full Side Ventilation
Commonly known as: Clear Net Pots / Ventilated Nursery Pots / Aeration Pots
These Clear Net Pots 14cm are designed for growers who want better root health, faster drying cycles, and easy monitoring of moisture and root development. The transparent sides allow you to see what’s happening inside the pot, while the full-length ventilation strips provide maximum airflow and drainage — ideal for plants that prefer lighter, airier substrates.
Whether you grow aroids, orchids, hoyas, or use pon-style mixes, these pots prevent the “suffocation” that often happens in solid plastic pots. Roots stay oxygenated, compacted soil is avoided, and watering becomes more consistent because you can see exactly when the plant needs attention.
Suitable for indoor growers, propagation setups, greenhouse use, semi-hydroponics, and pon.
Clear Net Pot 14cm Care & Uses
Watering – Do net pots dry faster?
Yes — the ventilation slits allow excess water to drain quickly while encouraging airflow around the medium. This helps prevent root rot, especially in chunky or moisture-sensitive mixes.
Light – Why clear pots?
Clear pots allow light to reach the root zone, which is helpful for species like orchids, hoyas, and semi-hydro setups. They also let you monitor root growth, substrate moisture, and overall health without disturbing the plant.
Humidity – Do these pots help with humidity-sensitive plants?
They reduce stagnant moisture and help maintain a balanced environment around the roots. This benefits plants that dislike soggy soil or poor airflow.
Pair these pots with any airy, fast-draining mix such as our:
-
DIY blend using Barks Unlimited Potting Soil + Perlite
-
Add Bark Chips for extra structure
Great for pon-style substrates!
Feeding – Can I fertilise as usual?
Yes — feeding routines stay the same. For long-term nourishment, you can add a light amount of Controlled Release Fertiliser into the mix.
Repotting – When should I use a net pot?
Use a net pot when you need:
-
better airflow
-
faster drying cycles
-
reduced root rot
-
visibility of roots
-
lighter pots for hanging or shelves
Repot as the plant grows, moving one size up at a time.
Pests – Do net pots reduce pest issues?
They help prevent fungus gnats by keeping the top layer drier and reducing soggy areas where larvae thrive. Clean pots between uses to keep them hygienic.
Temperature – Can these pots handle heat and cold?
Yes — the plastic is durable, UV-resistant, and suitable for indoor and patio growing conditions. Avoid prolonged direct outdoor sun to prevent overheating of roots.
Q: What plants grow best in net pots?
Aroids, hoyas, orchids, carnivorous plants, semi-hydro setups, and anything that likes air around its roots.
Q: Do I need a saucer?
Yes — because of the ventilation, water drains quickly. Use a saucer for indoor use to protect surfaces.
Q: Can I use these for pon?
Absolutely. These pots are ideal for pon because they allow airflow and prevent compaction.
Q: Will roots grow through the slits?
Sometimes — and that’s normal. It encourages healthy, oxygen-rich growth.
