All Alber pots for berry plantation include them: <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Raised legs<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is essential that the plantation of this fruit tree is carried out in an elevated position to avoid the proliferation of diseases caused by fungi or pests. This will also aerate the roots and the substrate. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resistance<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pots are exposed to high temperatures, humidity and continuous exposure to the sun, so it is important to opt for containers that are resistant to environmental conditions and that can also be used for several plantation seasons.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drainage<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Berries are very sensitive to humidity so to avoid waterlogging or root rot we must have pots with drainage adapted to these needs. For this reason we created an innovative element, the <a href=\"https:\/\/alber.es\/en\/horticulture-nurseries\/plastic-pots\/cvx-series\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/alber.es\/horticultura-viveros\/macetas-plastico\/serie-cvx\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Drain Grille<\/a>, an interior elevator that adapts to the diameter of each model. By adding this element we get a double height bottom that raises the plant 3 cm off the ground to facilitate water drainage and root air flow.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Anti-spyralization systems<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The spiralization of the plant&#8217;s root system means that the root system develops by curling in on itself, which can affect the correct development of the plant.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our <a href=\"https:\/\/alber.es\/en\/horticulture-nurseries\/plastic-pots\/fruit-trees\/mcf-series\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MCF<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/alber.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DRAIN-GRILL_25-3-300x300-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/alber.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DRAIN-GRILL_25-3-300x300-1.jpg\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CVX<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/alber.es\/en\/horticulture-nurseries\/plastic-containers\/cfx-series\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/alber.es\/horticultura-viveros\/contenedores-plastico\/serie-cfx\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CFX<\/a> berry pots collections cover all these needs and are available in various sizes.
