Air Layering
Intro: Air Layering
Air layering plants requires a moist environment for aerial roots to form. Most plants can be air layered and, even if no rooting takes place, the original plant is not damaged by the process since you do not remove the donor material until it has produced roots.

STEP 5: Using a Sheet of Polyethylene Film
Using a sheet of polyethylene film approximately 6" X 12" or 8" X 12", depending upon the size of the plant stem, wrap the ball of soil mixture using the butchers fold (see insert) to secure a tight seal where the two ends of the sheet are joined.

STEP 7: Result(new Roots Have Penetrated)
After the new roots have penetrated the moss ball and are visible on all sides, the rooted branch may be removed from the parent plant. The rooting time will vary with plant variety as well as the season in which it is performed.
