A base for various plant containers, including containers having flexible sidewall panels with protuberances that retain the base and containers that integrate the base into a unitary container structure. The base includes an upper surface that intercepts plant roots to prevent root circling and, preferably also prevents a perched water table. The upper surface of the base may be convex and includes a plurality of channels that direct the roots in a generally radial direction. Accordingly, roots are redirected radially and prevented from circling. The roots may also be directed radially into air-root-pruning protuberances in the panel. The base may have a perimeter resting on, in or between protuberances of an air-root-pruning panel or specific elements, whether protuberances or not, in the panel to retain the base in position relative to the sidewall panel.
