Picture a healthy branch on your favorite fruit tree, clamped in a black sphere in April and cut free as a rooted plant months later. The branch stays fed by its parent while roots form inside, and a clear window lets you check progress without opening it.
Root branches while still attached to the parent plant for higher rooting success
Solves
- slow or failed rooting of cuttings
- cuttings drying out before roots form
- difficulty propagating woody or hard-to-root plants
Root branches while they stay alive on the parent plant
Cuttings that dry out before roots form waste your spring. Clamp this sphere on a living branch and roots form inside while the parent keeps feeding it.
Five Simple Parts That Do the Work
A sphere that holds the branch
The split square plate closes around the stem, so the branch stays put while you work. The top opening takes the branch and the medium, and the parent plant keeps supplying water and nutrients the whole time.
Look inside without opening it
A small clear window shows you the roots forming around the stem. You check progress through the port and leave the branch alone until the roots are well developed and ready to cut.
Vented for air and moisture
Slits on the side let air move through the sphere while roots form. Ventilation drives rooting success, so keep the vents open during active growth and tape the top only when the box sits unused.
Clamp, Fill, and Wait for Roots
- 1Pick a healthy branch
Choose fresh growth on a live branch and measure its diameter before you choose the size.
- 2Clamp the plate
Open the split square plate, close it around the branch, and press until both halves seat firmly.
- 3Fill with medium
Pour growing medium through the top opening so it packs around the cut and the stem.
- 4Seal and check
Close the top, keep the side vents open, and look through the observation port as the weeks pass.
Seal It, But Don't Forget to Vent
- Tape the top when idle
Seal the opening with black tape only when the box is not in use.
- Keep side vents open
Sealed air slows rooting, so the slits stay open during active growth.
- Check through the port
Look through the window instead of opening the sphere early.

Questions and answers
Which size fits my branch diameter, and how many branches can one box take?
w
Wanelo · seller
Measure the branch before you order and pick the size that matches it. The large size can be used for two or three trees at the same time, while the smaller sizes suit one branch per box.
Can I use it on woody shrubs and fruit trees, or only soft cuttings?
w
Wanelo · seller
It is built for woody branches. The sphere clamps onto a living stem, so fruit trees, shrubs and ornamentals all work. The branch stays attached to its parent through the whole rooting period.
Do I still need rooting hormone or medium?
w
Wanelo · seller
Fill the sphere with growing medium, since that is where the roots grow. Rooting hormone is optional and worth using on plants that respond to it.
Is it worth it compared with bagging a cutting and dusting it with rooting hormone?
w
Wanelo · seller
A bagged cutting is cheap, but on woody plants it often dries out or rots before roots form, and one failed cutting costs you a whole season. This box keeps the branch fed by its parent while roots form, so each branch you clamp is a real chance at a rooted plant.
What happens if I leave the top sealed too long?
w
Wanelo · seller
Sealed air slows rooting. Keep the top closed only when the box is not in use, and keep the side vents open while roots are forming.
