The Haxnicks Maxi Rootrainer is designed for gardeners and plant enthusiasts focused on propagating larger specimens such as shrubs, hedges, and broadleaved trees. Its primary benefit is the innovative air-pruning technology that prevents root-binding and fosters a dense, fibrous root system, though users should note that the system requires more careful monitoring of moisture levels compared to solid-walled plastic pots.

Yes, they are excellent for larger vegetables like runner beans or sweet peas that benefit from deep root systems.
The system includes 10 'books', each containing 4 cells, for a total of 40 propagation cells.
A standard, high-quality multi-purpose or seed-starting compost works best.
The materials are food-safe and durable, though intended primarily for horticultural use.
Check daily; because of the aeration features, the soil may dry out faster than in standard plastic trays.
Yes, they are weather-resistant, but they should be kept in a sheltered area to prevent the small volume of soil from freezing or drying out too quickly.
Ensure the bottom drainage holes are not overly large and use a slightly coarser compost mix if necessary.
Check that the locking mechanism on the 'book' is fully snapped into place and that no debris is stuck in the hinge.
To set up your Maxi Rootrainers, ensure the cells are snapped securely into the tray frame, ensuring the 'book' hinges are aligned and closed tight. When filling with compost, tap the tray gently to settle the medium without compressing it too hard, which allows roots to penetrate the soil easily.
