What it does
- Holds moist moss around plant branches so roots grow in weeks, giving you cuttings ready to plant.
- Hinged design opens and closes, making it easy to fit around any branch size you choose.
- Built-in holes let you tie it shut or twist it back together if the hinge bends.
- Made with flexible PETG material so it bends with your plant without breaking.
- Reusable for unlimited cuttings across all your plants and growing seasons.
Grow new plants from cuttings without waiting for roots in water. You fill this rooting ball with moist sphagnum moss, wrap it around a plant branch, and let nature do the work. In about two months, roots grow inside the ball from your branch, so you get a cutting with its own root system ready to plant.
The hinged design opens wide to slip over branches easily. Tie or twist it shut using the built-in holes. If the hinge ever flexes too far, just twist it back together; the holes are there for that reason. Tested with flexible PETG material so it holds up through seasons of use.
Perfect for cloning trees, shrubs, herbs, and houseplants. One tool works for all your propagation projects, from the backyard to the windowsill.

Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
