I followed your method and it worked for me after one month! I couldn't find sphagnum moss by itself so I used orchid moss. After a week no roots grew. I then mixed sphagnum peat moss with the orchid moss, and that combination did it. After one month there was a 4 inch root and I was able to cut it off to plant it. Thank you!

Other air layering articles and videos instruct to cut the stem first (half to to 2/3rds through), insert something into the cut to keep it open, and then apply the moss wrap. Did you do this without cutting the stem? It seems you've seen success with rooting without that initial cut!
@TechplantChannel3 жыл бұрын
The cutting part is what initiates the new growth to start from the node. but it will root the same either method. I suppose this is a little slower because a new vine wont start growing until after you cut this node off from the plant.

I am air layering many of the roots now for the first time because I plan on chopping them all and planting them all as one height in a new pot. My question is when I do this and I have all the cuttings replanted, will their new leaves come in juvenal or continue to grow the same size?

I just bagged the roots from the largest more mature stems. HELP!
