Air
Layering
Many
tropical houseplants can be propagated using the air layering technique.
In
air layering, you will wrap the stem with damp long-fiber
sphagnum moss .
This moss initially repels water, so the day before you air layer,
soak
a small amount of the sphagnum moss in warm water.
To
air layer a plant, you will prepare a stem, wound it, then wrap
it with damp sphagnum moss. New roots will grow into the damp moss.
Here's
how to make an air layer. |
