These root balls are great for taking rose cuttings and then leaving them to do their thing in a compact space. You get cable ties but I didn’t seem to need to use them as the design fits together securely anyway. Hopefully will get some lovely cheap roses as a result. Very happy with them
These are a great idea, and certainly make air layering easy. Simply pack the two halves of the sphere with compost, and then clamp it around the prepared stem of the plant to be propagated.
While these work well, and a lot better than other methods I’ve used in the past, they are not without niggles. Under perfect conditions, say in the potting bench, there are unlikely to be problems, but by its nature, air layering is inevitably carried out where the plant is growing, and often in awkward to get out locations. Problems occur such as keeping the compost in place while working, and feeding the plastic ties through the holes in the sphere. The latter made particularly difficult as all parts are black, it being difficult to see what you’re doing.
However, I have no doubts they will work, air laying is a virtually foolproof method of propagation, and these certainly make the task easier.
These are a neater, more efficient way to do the old rooting branch trick.
They are strong, reusable and neat.
They work in the same way that my old uncle used to propagate his trees and bushes, it’s an effective and cheap way to fill your garden.
They are simple to use, a million on line videos show you how to use them and propagate in their manner and they look neat when in place while you wait for the roots to form.
