[@gialovalim9913]

I want to try😊 thankyou for sharing👍

[@tracytravis6184]

Wow.Jerome & Mari. Absolutely love every one of your videos. This one is awesome because I was just getting ready to attempt this with one of my Plumeria tree. So this knowledge is right on time.

[@mattbrennan647]

Thanks Jerome, always great instructional information.

[@angie3504]

Would love to see the progress on this tree 🌲

[@terryklemesrud758]

Very nice!! Thanks for sharing, Jerome!!!

5:06 this is the wrong way to apply rooting powder You should be brushing the powder on the bark above the cut since THATS WHERE THE NEW ROOTS WILL BE COMING FROM smh they don’t grow out of the ringed barkless area lmao that’s the cut point where no or hardly any roots grow guy, I should know I’m a Botanist an have been one well over 30years

[@SurfLargo]

Awesome! Am doing this Saturday

[@catlinfoster1683]

Cool informational video, I’ve never even heard of this before!

[@bonsaisung6564]

Beautiful bonsai 👍

[@cozzyinternet4706]

I definitely enjoyed this "basic air layering for beginners"!! :D cheers for sharing!! I hope to see the outcome of this.....after 10 weeks.....maybe December or January??

[@elementalbonsai]

Mark here nice info on the airlayer 👌👍

[@BonsaiTalk]

Cool vid Jerome... We have snow here, so no air layering for us in awhile!

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Bonsai Talk patience :)

[@roellacandula9297]

Update next pls.

[@bonsaibob8253]

I’ve not had any success air layering yet. But I’ll try again. Thanks for the video

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Bonsai Bob yes, keep trying 🌳🙌 you can do this

[@ozonejamnerd]

Thanks for sharing Jerome! By the way, will this method work on Bougainvillas?

[@aaliyahplayingroblox8669]

Yep. Pero Bougainvillas can be cut outright also. The leaves will die but it will grow new ones in a month

[@leighharron]

There's no way I could get an air layer to be successful in the timeframe you're talking about, must be a Florida perk 👍🏻

[@TheTBolt]

Depends on the plant too. I can get Wax Myrtles in about 4 months. Timing is important too. Early spring seems to be best for it.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

leighharron yes with all the humidity and heat here 🌳🙌

[@spacecoastbonsai1421]

leighharron I just cut off two air layers off my Brazilian rain tree two weeks ago and they are exploding with new growth! Florida perks for sure

[@eriksalmon]

**Question: Do you know if you can air layer Cedar of Lebanon?

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Erik Salmon oh I’m not familiar with that specie. Sorry!

[@nicodemusblackowl]

Do you have a follow up for this air layering?

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hi Bryon, I don't both top and bottom sold shortly after video was released.

[@fredgrech1498]

Will that still root with all the foliage up top

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Fred Grech of course :)

[@spacecoastbonsai1421]

In my experience I had a tree that I defoliated prior to starting the air layer and it took so much longer. Come to find out the foliage up top actually helps the energy flow when you’re trying to establish roots in the air layer. Tell me if I’m wrong bonsai supply

[@fajatazu1]

hello. I wanna see the final result.

[@swimmingfree8485]

Hay guys lucky 13 we have snow now and some grate bonsai soil thanks.. Swimmingfree...

[@koraypalaz4229]

this is part one:) part 2 in 6 month or one year ? :)

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

cologne cologne it’s possible! :)

[@francisseth28]

I usually find the best result if I packed it with more moss about double or triple the size of the trunk or branch of the same plant that I'm air layering and it produces more roots too based from my personal experience.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Seth Ventura great tip! Keep doing what it works for you 🌳💕

[@SpOoNzL]

Nice vid, definitely don't need the gloves though. Some of those take hundreds of years to decompose.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

SpOoNzL Sphagnum moss can potentially harbor the fungi, Sporothrix schenckii, which can cause the chronic disease sporotrichosis, when spores enter the skin through abrasions, scratches, or small wounds. It is good practice to wear gloves when handling Sphagnum Moss.
