How to use

1. Peel off the skin of the plant.(At the position where rooting is needed, peel off the bark to a width of about 0.8in-1in)
 
 2. Put soil into compacted substrate. (fill the plant box with moistened water moss or soil)
 
3. Lock the automatic buckle. (Secure the plant root growth box and you can use a tie with it)
 
4. Finished. (Depending on the tree species, it takes 1-4 months to reproduce healthy new plants)

The Principle of the Plant Rooting Ball

High-pressure propagation uses the plant’s cambium layer. This layer reacts to damage and stress by making callus tissue.
 
Callus tissue is a type of regenerative tissue. It can replace important plant parts like xylem, phloem, and roots. Girdling the stem intentionally disrupts the cambium, initiating the formation of healing tissue.
 
In the upper parts of the plant, roots are usually missing. This absence helps the healing tissue grow new roots. As a result, there is a high success rate for forming new roots.
Using plant rooting ball make it easy to get a high-pressure environment which can help grow new roots.

Three Tips for Effective Use of the Plant Rooting Ball

The Plant Rooting Ball is built for durability and can be reused multiple times over multiple seasons. You can adjust its base to fit different branch thicknesses.
 
Use sealing cloth at the base to fit different branch sizes. You can also add coarse fiber padding at the base for extra security.
 
Apply a rooting substrate that requires minimal watering; just keep it slightly moist for optimal results.
