Separating and Repotting Japanese Maple Air Layering

In this video, I will show you how I separate air layering and repot it. I will also show what I do for the parent tree as well.

◆ THANK YOU FOR SUBSCRIBING OUR CHANNEL!
Welcome to our channel! We are located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest (PNW)! We are in the middle of our journey to create a beautiful Japanese maple garden and develop bonsai trees for everyone to enjoy. Our garden is under construction but we hope to open it up to public in the near future! Follow us if you love Japanese maples and want to know what's happening in our garden! In this channel, we focus on walking thru our Japanese maple bonsai garden throughout all seasons, discussing how to prune Japanese maples, how to air layer Japanese maples, how to propagate Japanese maples and how to take care of them including pruning, fertilizing, etc.

To get roots uniformly on all sides, it helps to tilt the pot in such a way that the air-layered branch is kept vertical, at the beginning of air-layering. Else, a horizontal cut parallel to the ground can also be made, keeping the desired branch in the original tilted position.

It’s really nice to see your garden fill up every year

Great close up camera work. It really helps to see what you’re doing so clearly. Wondering how much direct sun this maple will get? And how often you will water ?

[@MomijiEn]

Thank you for your comments! This one is pretty sun-tolerant so it gets almost full sun most of the time (except for those days above 85-90 F..) I water almost daily.

Lots of leaves on that air layer with very little root, okay?

[@MomijiEn]

This one is doing good. Some of the big ones with more branches and leaves may need to wait till next year.

[@heartwooden]

where do you usually buy those mesh pots?

[@MomijiEn]

local nurseries...you can find them on Amazon too!

Great job as always. What's the go to care after separating the air layer? Considering JMs go to dormant very soon. Also would it be advisable to plant the air layer in the ground right for the first year? I'm asking because I don't have a green house or a cold frame and I'm worried my only successful air layer would die..!

[@MomijiEn]

I would separate them by late summer/early fall then plant it in a bigger container with more than normal soil mass to keep the roots protected from cold. You can keep it in a garage if you have one during the winter.

Glad to see u had some roots. I air layered a sango kaku and osakazuki and they didnt root.what do i do now to protect them from the winter?

[@MomijiEn]

Usually they added a layer to protect it so it should be ok as long as its not too cold during the winter.

[@Chris-oq6kn]

@@MomijiEn i live in ny so the winters here get pretty cold . Maybe i should keep them in the shed? One of mine also formed a knob which looked like it was going to shoot roots but calloused over . Do i skin that part back again?
