Description

Uses the ancient method of Air Layering which is about growing roots right onto the branches to replicate your existing plants and produce a new one. It works on both indoor and outdoor plants. The propagation pods are safe for the mother plant and will not cause any damage, because it only uses a small branch on the plant you want to clone, so there is little interference, nor will it interfere with the natural growth of the plant. In short you peel off the bark of a small area on an existing branch. You then place the propagation ball, filled with mud around the “cut”, keep it moist and within a couple of weeks there will be new roots generated from the cut. You then cut the branch off and plant it. Google for more details. You need to print 2 balls (half's) and 4 clips. 2 different size balls, one for branches of 12mm and one for 20mm. Or resize according to your needs. The supplied clips work with both sizes (12 and 20) but if you resize any of the models you need to resize the clips too. No support needed.
