Autopot® Autopot – XL Root Control Disc Round Black / Gold – 6889964732501

Autopot – XL Root Control Disc Round Black / Gold is a gardening accessory designed to prevent plant roots from clogging irrigation systems and blocking drainage holes. The XL Root Control Disc is specifically designed for use with Autopot XL systems, which are hydroponic self-watering systems that use a gravity-fed watering system to keep plants hydrated.

The XL Root Control Disc is made from a durable, non-toxic material that is designed to withstand exposure to water and nutrients. The disc is round and has a diameter of approximately 18cm, making it suitable for use with large plants.

The disc is black on one side and gold on the other, with the gold side facing down to help reflect light back up to the plant roots. The black side faces up and is designed to help prevent algae growth and block light from reaching the nutrient solution, which can help prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and algae.

The XL Root Control Disc is placed at the bottom of the Autopot XL system’s inner pot, with the gold side facing down. The disc sits on top of the system’s Aquavalve, which regulates the flow of water and nutrients to the plant. The disc helps prevent plant roots from clogging the Aquavalve and blocking drainage holes, which can lead to waterlogged soil and root rot.

Overall, Autopot – XL Root Control Disc Round Black / Gold is a useful gardening accessory for those using Autopot XL systems or other hydroponic self-watering systems. It helps keep the system’s irrigation and drainage systems functioning properly while promoting healthy plant growth.
