Net Pots for Hydroponics and Aeroponics: How They Work and What You Need

What Are Net Pots?

Plant containers with holes in bottom and sides, lined with netting. Roots grow through holes into nutrient solution or air—ideal for soilless systems.

Hydroponic Use

• Netting holds grow medium (any type) in place.
• System needs: reservoir, tray, pump, aerator, nutrient solution.
• Pump delivers oxygenated nutrients to roots in tray.
• Flexible for space and equipment level.

Aeroponic Use

• Pot holds plant crown; roots dangle in air.
• Misters spray nutrient solution directly on roots.
• Superior oxygenation = faster growth, fewer pests/diseases.

Getting Started

Net pots, hydroponic/aeroponic kits, and nutrients available from online hydroponic suppliers. Choose system based on space, budget, and crop goals.
