You can air layer material up to 15mm in diameter.
“DynaBall” is a South African developed and manufactured solution for air layering.
Air layering is a very firmly established method of propagation where you require a genetic duplicate (or clone) of an existing plant.
The green DynaBall is UV protected, whereas the transparent ball allows for seeing the roots develop before your eyes. The hybrid DynaBall is half green and half transparent, the one half is UV protected and the other half provides a “window” to see when the roots have developed sufficiently for planting.
Great product, easy to use and proven success on using recommended method and material and of course what Bonsai is all about ...... patience for the root growth
Having never done Air layerings before I was a little hesitant to attempt it. I used the Green, Opaque Dynaball to do 6 air layers on a Ficus Microcarpa. After 33 days I removed 4 “successful” ones leaving the remaining 2 to become stronger. Two weeks later the other 2 were also strong enough to be removed. These are designed so clever … the little “funnel” made watering a breeze and I had no issues with the growing medium being washed out from the bottom funnel. Although the ones I used were “opaque” I found it easy to gauge the root development without having to frequently open the ball and disturb the fragile developing roots … as the developing ones tend to dry out much faster. Works like a “bomb” … Highly recommended!
We were very impressed with the quality of this tool for air layering. I is exactly what we needed and expected. Delivery was also extremely fast and efficient. Thank you!
This is a fantastic device to use. Having used ziplock bags, masking tape, and cable ties this is such a boom for air layering in comparison. Thank you, Terry, for stocking such useful items for bonsai.
This product makes air layering so easy, and the clear side means you can check for roots without opening up your air layers
