Instead of sitting inside a plastic cell, each block is exposed on all sides — which means roots air-prune naturally when they reach the edge. Rather than circling the container, roots redirect their energy inward and develop a dense, fibrous root system. The result is a stronger, more resilient seedling that transitions into the garden with far less stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNo containers.
