My revew on this root anti-circling compound product is finished, I think it can be very useful and a good tool to prevent problems in the future.

Review of MicroKote plant container coating for root anti-circling

Excellent video Carlos!  I find the results very interesting.  It raises a lot of questions such as how this will work with other things like jakfruit and garcinias, longer term comparisons, the effect on the root ball (I would have liked to see the dirt washed away), whether there truly are health benefits to the plant, possible increase in profit, etc.  I wish I had the time to do experiments of my own with this product.

Carlos, nice video. Thanx for taking the time to do the experiment. Hopefully it will benefit a lot of us in the hobby.

I have it in a lot of pots now, i would imagine I'll get a good idea in a year or two. But for people that do seedlings in one gal to later graft and up pot the successful ones is a good thing, you get benefits. I have grown seedlings in one gal before, then up pot only to see the tree not growing well,  upon examining the roots you can see the gal size mark and the tree is in a technical root bound state not going anywhere. For a few cents you can prevent that. For now I think this is a short term solution that can keep the plant in a one gal. for a year.

Pretty interesting. I agree with cbss_daviefl. It would be good to see them bare rooted to see if there are more feeder roots on the tree in the coated pot.

I will probably let them grow another 3 months and do an autopsy. I have no use for the Mamey plants.
