Prototypes and development of Root Pods

In 2014, Ben Logan, the creator of Root Pods, fell in love with the age old method of air layering. Frustrated with the inconsistent results and constant juggling of plastic baggies, duck tape and zip ties, he began to look for a better way. Utilizing CAD and a 3D printer Ben started testing his prototype, Root Pods, constantly improving and changing the design until the prototype pods began to resemble the production Root Pods we have today.

In early 2018 Root Pods were successfully funded on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter.com. Root Pods exceeded its funding goal by 700% during the campaign. With the pre-sales from Kickstarter, Root pods acquired their first production tool for injection molding. Since then Root Pods have sold thousands of Pods.

The development of RP Cloning Gel

Root Pods wanted to offer a strong rooting gel, but did not want to use the harsh chemical products offered on the market. Using ingredients that work, and are naturally of this earth, RP cloning gel was born out of necessity.
