AIR LAYERING RESULTS - QUICKEST METHOD OF CLASSIC AIR LAYERING TO PROPAGATE PLANTS

[@Darkice77]

I learned about this a couple years ago and tried it on my Asian pear trees. I have 12 trees that are 3 different kinds. I made 6 air layered branches on each tree instead of pruning. Every one of them took. I grew them out for a year then sold them all at 39 bucks each. They sold in a weekend. I used to always prune and throw the clippings out. Not anymore. Easy money.

[@Darkice77]

You can also put several air layers on a single branch. I had one branch with 3 on it and they all took.

Added advice: 1) Just use peat, coconut core or sphagnum. Adding the manure, introduces a higher likelihood of bacteria or fungus that can cause rot and/or rooting failure. The exposed (cut) area first and foremost wants a damp medium to root in. Save manure and enrichment methods for AFTER your roots have developed and you've removed it from the "mother" plant. 2) When your roots have developed and you fully cut it from the mother plant, dip the cut end in powdered cinnamon (do the same with the open cut on your mother plant). Cinnamon has properties that help protect that open cut from disease or rotting. b) Instead dip that cut area in rooting hormone. Better to dip an open plant wound in something that invites further root growth, than leaving an open wound in dark damp soil where its exposed to bacteria and fungus.

[@souffle420]

The thing about Aspirin is it contains *acetylsalicylic acid* which have antifungal property… _and that's it._ It prevents the rotting of your new roots and provides an almost fungal-free substrate for the roots to grow. You can achieve a better result with rooting hormone, which usually already mixed with antifungal component. But if you don't have one, I think you can use Aspirin to substitute it. 😁

[@bw-mi9xp]

some fungi are good for the roots though, no? what about mycorrhizae?

[@guyh.4553]

....which I thought that they used rooting hormone. My preference is always rooting hormone

[@souffle420]

@@bw-mi9xp for new plant with weak root system, I think it's better to rely on Trichoderma rather than Mycorrhiza? You can do it later when you replant it on polybag; just mix whichever fungi you prefer on the soil. In air layering, your priority is to (1) grow roots as fast as possible, while (2) preventing detrimental fungi growing on the exposed xylem / wood.

[@Detroit-gx5nd]

Or you can use willow bark

[@insertnamehere8121]

Souffle is correct. First and foremost, the cut area wants to develop roots (when in a damp substrate). You can fortify the plant LATER after the roots have developed and you've removed it from the "mother" plant. This is why I would also recommend against using manure during the establishment process. Just use a damp medium thats MUCH less contaminated (with bacteria and fungus) by default, like coconut core, sphagnum or peat. Manure is rife with bacteria and fungal spores. I would also recommend dipping the cut end (during final removal) in either powdered cinnamon or rooting hormone before potting it. Also use the powdered cinnamon on the stump/cut area on your mother plant after removal. It will help prevent that area from being an opening for disease, until that "scabs" over and seals.

[@cheebacheeobusiness3893]

I bumped into this technique maybe 7 years ago while growing cannabis. It worked well and I'm amazed it disappeared from that community, since it's really good method for rooting plants. No stress "at all" on cuttings.

[@Khaymen223]

I was into high stress training for a bit. Really super cropping hard. Once I bent and smashed a branch so far, it literally touched the coco medium in the pot surface. I swear 3 weeks later, roots grew from the bend/break down into the medium. Crazy plant

[@peterellis4262]

In the description it says no rooting hormone, then in the video the first step after peeling the bark - is applying rooting hormone. When you take that tightly wound root ball and plant it in soil, take a minute to tease those roots apart and spread them out some. The roots will grow out into the surrounding soil more quickly and the plant will get a better start than if it has to find its own way out of that tangled root bound condition.

[@5JBelfry]

I was gonna ask about breaking up the root ball a bit, seemed odd to me that it was planted as it was, figured I could find the answer in the comments 👍🏼

I used those black round pods to air layer a LSU Champaign . i used seed starting mix with Micochorzzie already in soil. After a month i had a dense baseball sized root ball. when i planted it, it kept its figs and no leaves wilted. U can monitor those black pods because the roots spread the seam so i had to put a little gorrilla tape over seam. I would add water weekly with a syringe.

[@mikeporro3311]

I used no rooting hormone. But on one air layer i i smeared aloe juice from a freshly picked piece all over the debarked area riht before enclosing in pod. That air layer stood on its own with nop wilting going on day 5 and has not dropped the 2 figs. Saw the aloe thing on u tube. It works!

What in the season is the best moment to do this

[@MikeHunt-lz2hq]

Just use clonex and root booster to soak your soil mix and as for the wound use clonex gel and let it dry on the top portion of the girdled branch or trunk. Don't use aspirin and mud. Use freshly mixed unused soil I use Pete moss and dried spaghnum moss with some perlite and that works really well . It stays wet if you pre soak it and lots of oxygen gets through . Instead of bags I use a solo cup or nursery pot pending size of branch or trunk drill out a hole in the bottom close to the diameter of the trunk or branch and run a slit down the side of cup or pot to the hole in bottom then drill or melt out small holes along the slit use zip ties or wire to hold the slitted cup or pot together while on the layered branch or trunk this way you can assure oxygen gets replineshed and fresh water can be added . This method is over all better with correct timing bc the air and water don't have a chance to stagnate . Also you can zip tie a strip of folded foil under the pot or cup to help support the container .

[@das250250]

Do you drill holes allowing water to leak out from bottom and if so do you need to rewater air layer ?

[@TheMightyYak]

I agree with the use of moss, but personally I use the plastic wrap method shown here with it, no need to worry about it drying out that way.

[@kyleh2524]

Plants need CO2 not O2.

[@MikeHunt-lz2hq]

@@das250250 yes lots of holes in the bottom and yes I rewater as needed .

[@MikeHunt-lz2hq]

@@kyleh2524 partially incorrect .tree roots need lots of fresh oxygen .why do you think you can grow cuttings in a glass of water bc the roots get oxygen from the water. This is why in bonsai we use aggregates like lava rock and akadama vs just plain old garden soil or potting soil .as you water and the water drains out all the tiny air pockets that had contained water are now replaced with fresh air . While plants do replace our co2 with fresh o2 the roots do in fact need fresh oxygen to be healthy and the lack of frequent air exchange can actually lead to root rot and many other ailments .just go to the library and pick up a few books or use Google if you don't believe me or even do an experiment try an air layer my way and try one with a sealed bag and see which one roots faster and better .or another experiment could be using a pot with no holes vs a pot with holes and put one freshly sprouted seedling in each pot and care for them like normally and see what happens to the tree without frequent exchange of fresh air and water .

Hi, once you remove the outer layer of bark and expose the cambium, scratch gently with knife. Apply the root powder to the exposed cambium which you just scratched. You can use a q-tip or just scoop some of the powder up with your finger and press to it. I love using root powder. I prune my rose bush, dip the stem in rooting powder, and place stem in a piece of cut raw potato (I use a screwdriver to remove enough potatoe to fit the rose bush stem into), then plant in a small pot. Water when dirt is dry. By spring the rose bush stem has grown roots and I replant outside.
