Just when you're feeling the blues, Peter emerges from a jungle of branches with another badass shirt!

I just love how he teaches. That is also part of bonsai, to spread the knowledge

I keep going back to this video for reference! As I learn more about Bonsai, this one is still relevant. The endless layering process is a great way to use what you already have in stock and keep in production. I call them "Mother Trees".

Dear Peter, i have been reading your books since i started as a teenager, its so amazing to see your youtubes!

I did an air layering last November (I live in Adelaide, Australia) following one of your videos and everything went great. Now I will repot the same way you showed in this video. Thank you for this tip I was wating for. Cheers !

Your the #1 instructor, thanks for the tips. I have become a loyal fan.

I very much appreciate the fact that you are giving away advice and tips for free, after spending a life time to discover all the secrets. Thank you!

Always a bright day when a new video appears. Just so damn relaxing to watch, and yes I have noticed the shirts... Thanks

Thank you for the video Peter. Always interesting, always informative, always good to watch. Bring on the next one!

I could watch teachings from you for days thanks so much for sharing everything you do!!!!

Amazing air layered deshojos and hornbeams. Going to have to check on my autumn blaze air layering indeed. Thx for sharing Peter, can't wait for the next one.

Peter thank for another great video! I’ve been learning a lot about Bonsai through your channel. You have inspired me to experiment with air layering and turning my rhododendron shrub into a bonsai. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and your beautiful nursery!

Always ready to watch another of your videos. Thank you so much for your wisdom.

Can't believe how much I've learned from these videos. Thank you so much!

I started a Red Dawn air layering in late may (first time attempt). And just when it's getting to the point where it needs cut and potted, you show up with a video on how to do that! That's some awesome intuition you got there! 👍

If I lived in the uk -I would most Certainly take your class on propagation and Maintenance of Bonsai.❤️🌿🌱

Thanks Peter for your great, wonderful movies. I learn so much and admire your enthusiasm for the world of bonsai.

Thank you very much Peter. I have learned so much from you. I truly appreciate and admire your enthusiasm for trees and bonsai. I love how you teach and share your wealth of knowledge and wisdom. Thank you for sharing your secrets and educating us :)

I just air layered a fig yesterday. Thanks for the instructions on this method, Peter.

Thanks to this channel I regard trees and hedges as to their potential to air layering

Another great informational video! Thanks for sharing all of your years of wisdom with your fans!😉💗

I admire you for your knowledge and love and appreciation of Japanese maples

Greatly appreciated. I've learned a tremendous amount from these videos. Greeting from Canada!

Excellent information! There is always something new that I always pick up for knowledge!

Just found your website. Very informative and useful information. I subscribed because your method of instruction is a breath of fresh air. Thank you.

You really do have the best job in the world!

Beautiful specimen. Ill look forward to seeing it as a bonsai. I've learnt another usefully tip from you Peter today. "Using sphagnum moss" after air layering. 😊

Removing foliage really does help. Great tip! As soon as I have space for it, I will be air layering ad infinitum as well😉.

Thank you for the advice. I started an air layer late June and early July and after six weeks I did not see any roots yet. I will continue and just be patient and let them go until next year.

Thank you so much for your great tips! I am especially eager to try using sphagnum moss on a Japanese maple I recently bought that does not have enough vigor due to some damage it sustained prior to me buying it!

Thank you Peter, spagnum moss has been a savior, my dwarf rotos are all coming back and they died to bare wood, thank you thank you, love my trees. Just removed my first wires and it was too late, keep a close watch, it was sad to see some branches so deeply cut but they will heal, just give them love.

I can’t thank you enough for sharing your knowledge. I only wish, as a complete beginner, that I would have found this video months ago.

I have learned something new bout the moss here and it was helpful. Thank you.

Dr. Chan, you have so many videos and each one I have watched has a new "tidbit" of knowledge that takes me further along my path in Bonsai. Thank you, and, thank you, again. 🎄🙏🖖🙏😔🙏🙏🙏🎄

Thank You for sharing your vast resources of knowledge and experience, it is very much appreciated. God Bless from Indiana USA

Such a great trees... Thank you Mr Chan for your teachings 😊

I have just come in from the garden after checking the roots on my own maple air layer that I started in early June after watching one of Peter's videos. The longest roots are about an inch long so I have wraped it up again and will check again in a couple of months...

Incredible instruction on air layering...I have a few mature japanese maples in my yard that I'll start air-layering in the spring. :)

Thank you, Maestro. A great lesson !

Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I enjoy your work.

Thanks for a noteworthy video.I will attempt an air layering on my bay leaf tree.👍🌳

Sir ... your experiments are mind blowing.. this channel is helping me out to absorb so much quality knowledge about gardening skills I m grateful to you.. gratitude 🙏🏻 Love from India Ashish Kirti

Thanks for the videos. I have made a few air layers in my garden following your advice, let's see how it goes. I have always wanted to be able to do this successfully. Great teaching l

I did some air layering today. Thanks for the tips!

I so much appreciate your mentoring. Thank You!

I think its great how an expert like this man is takes the time to educate us. Thanks' again Peter

I can’t wait for Spring! Thanks.

So much knowledge. Thank you and enjoyed learning from you.

You are wonderful mr Peter always say more information in all video.

I love to listen your Video. all this great inside information!! and for free !! Thank you so much. Stay healthy

This tree is going to be beautiful lots of movement great video 👍👍

Always your videos is the best, thank you.

Some gardeners get mad when their plants start escaping out the bottom of the pot. Peter is just proud of them

Thanks Peter. Now I understand air layerings

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

Thank you 😊 you are now my bonsai master ❤️

very nice lesson for the day thanks sir peter!

Thank you once again Peter!

Wonderful speaker. Thank you.

When is the best time of year to ring bark off a tree or bushes to start making new roots for a new tree. Love your videos. Best information I’ve ever heard. Thank you for your time and beautiful work.

There's an old twisted ornamental cherry tree in my dad's back yard that I may air layer. It's beautiful, but he was always disappointed that it didn't produce any fruit. Thanks for the tips!

One of your best.

Your videos are an inspiration. I may have said before. Every time I feel down I watch bonsai collection videos. It gives me inspiration to go into field and look for trees. Can you please recommend a good carving grinder machine. I really need to buy one.

Great learning experience!.. thanks mr Chan🌲🌲🌲🌳

Awesome tips thanks for them. I noted your tip for cutting the leaves off the new air layered tree 10:10 sounds like what Thanos explained to the Avengers in endgame. Love from Canada!

That was amazing. Thanks for the insight

It would be such a pleasure to have a book from Peter Chan. All the knowledge about tips, tricks and hints to work with japanese maples … Not only the bonsai-part, everything! Is there something? 🙋

Greatly helpful sir!

Super! I have learnt so much more!

Thank you Peter

What a master teacher!!!

I highly enjoy these videos and learn so much. But still some questions remain: How do I care for the air layering in winter (climate like in the UK) without a greenhouse or anything, just the garden? Will the tree survive if cut of in late August and planted in Spaghnum moss?

Thanks Mr Chan.for another very interesting video, I will be trying airlayering this coming spring .do you check the moisture in the plastic wrap every so often. Huge Fan USA California

Very interesting. Thank you 🙏👍

I loved this VIDEO!

Thank you so much for this presentation. I am living in North America (Toronto), two days before I have potted my Cherry cutting and did the same process learn from you. I have two questions, 1. How many months do I need to keep the cutting under two inches water? 2. As the fall and winter is coming here, do I need any extra steps to keep it alive. Would appreciate if you could guide me.

Oh, I have another question: When you put the fresh cut air-layered branch in the sphagnum moss, can I use fresh sphagnum moss directly out of my garden? There are masses here 😉

Nice video Peter! Can you show the current state of the tree. Due to this and other video’s I started airlayering a 3” Malus. Will make the cut in a fee weeks 🤓

I love your videos! ❤

love your videos!

yess😊 i go do airlayering some esdoorn trees to learn myself boisai technic by master peter mister chan!! u r a SuperHero!!💖iloveyou

Ok 💖like because loudly very much thank you for good advice kupchak 🙏

the very best episode I've watched so far. And I've seen a few hahaha

Thank You 🙏✌️

Great video thank you. Do you know if air layering like that can be done with a linden tree aka lime tree?

Hi Peter, can you air layer multiple branches on the same maples trees? Thank you for sharing all your secret of air layer!

Master Chan creates something out of nothing. Amazing knowledge sir.

Thank you

As always, wonderfully explained and very inspirational. Thank you very much. Do you ever work on Thuja trees? I have just bought one from a garden centre but find very little information about them. Any of your advice and experience would be most welcome. Thank you.

Hallo sir may i ask you in India in which season or month air layering should be started? Thank you for such wonderful video.

I’ve used sphagnum peat moss for air layers but it’s finely ground fibers. I use it for my maple air layers. I don’t have 100% success unless I use hormones, so I will try to find whole sphagnum moss, maybe I’ll have better success.

Hi Peter! I have both sphagnum peat moss that looks more like dirt and the long fibered sphagnum moss, now wish one should I use better (after the air layering) ? or it doesn’t matter or can I do a mix of both ? Thank you. Take good care of yourself sir. 🙏🏽

You're the best Peter. After removing the air layer and potting it up in more sphagnum moss, how long do I keep the pot in 1-2 inches of water? Thank you in advance and God Bless you

Than you for your guidance , quick question .. Why did you not remove leaves and branches while airlaying was in progress ???

Another great video! These always make ma happy. I have a very root happy, but still attached air layer of a European Larch. It has visible roots coming out of everywhere, but I don't want to shock and kill it. What do you guys think, is it ok to repot now, or would you wait till spring?

Sadly I was a bit unfortunate with air layering (EastEU). I tried around april with a friends great grape specimen and my backyard juniper. Each time removing the surface woodish skin, scraping with a knife the core of the branch to get some juice and wraping it with foil and wire. Five weeks later any single root. Used combinations of cocoFiber, regular ground soil, adding "root activator" powder, and even spreading some honey on the core as I read it helps too. Is it now too late to try air layering? Any suggestions or just more patience? Anyone feel free to answer with your experiences/tips

Emailed of through the shop

Saving plastic is saving earth for sure. But importing from New Zealand has a huge impact. Is there a substitute to spagma moss?

Can you air layer by using water alone in a bottle attached to the place where you have scraped away the bark or must you use soil?

thank you very much! You are such a good teacher! Can the same technique be used on Cypress Boulevard with using hormon rooting powder in March-April? Sould I plant again the new roots in sphagnum moss before i put them in soil? Greatings form Bulgaria.
