A plant rooting ball lets you grow a new plant from a branch while it is still attached: the two-part plastic ball clips around a stem packed with damp moss or soil, and roots form inside before you cut it free. This pack holds 10 balls in one size and colour. It is part of our Home Essentials collection.

Frequently asked questions
How many rooting balls come in a pack?
Each pack holds 10 plant rooting balls of one size and colour, as every product photo shows.
Should I choose the 5 cm or 8 cm rooting ball?
Use the 5 cm plant rooting ball on thin branches and the 8 cm ball on thicker stems, where a bigger root ball can form before you cut the branch free.
Clear or white rooting ball – which is better?
A clear plant rooting ball lets you watch the roots grow without opening it; a white ball lets in less light, which some growers prefer for root formation.
How do you use a plant rooting ball for air layering?
Remove a ring of bark on the branch, pack the plant rooting ball with damp moss or soil, clip its two halves around the wound and keep it moist until roots fill the ball.
