Thank you for all the information. I also guess my concern is stressing out the parent tree by doing too many at once.I have seen as many as 3 air layers on one branch. However, there must be enough side branches and leaves above each air layer for the roots to form. This thread will lead you to all the things you need to know.
The science of air-layering
Because of the number of questions regarding air-layering on the site, I have attempted to pull together an overview of the science behind air-layering which will directly lead to a list of "best practices" and "frequently asked questions". I am going to try to keep the science really simple...www.bonsainut.com
I just ordered 50 mediums off of wish for $30. I noticed with the pods the hole in the bottom and top is significant enough to let them dry out. I solved this by wrapping them in Saran Wrap and sealing with electrical tape. I’ve had ones on for a month with them still being moist.
Was that this years growth, semi hardwood? What was the strategy?
Yes seedling tend to root way faster…..1-2 wks depending on seedling preperation.If using a rather low strength Motherplnt formula with all the added aminos and stimulants you can have great success…..as little as 6 days in a co2 fertilized growtent.Was that this years growth, semi hardwood? What was the strategy?
I never worked with rockwool. I have always wanted to. Peat always seems way too wet, after watering In the cuttings. So many rotted softwoods every year.
Thanks
This is basalt stone and never degrades………
check the JBP seedling cuttings at 4 mnths!
I think that will stay too wet. The sphagnum should stay moist, not wet. I watered mine daily when I watered the trees, water in from the top until it flowed out the bottom, never had an issue, even through the summer.
I opened it yesterday, since it was at week three. I wanted to see what was happening. The soil was drenched. It didn’t dry and seemed even wetter than it initially was at closure.
Thank you for confirming.
That is some serious root porn.
What is Motherpint?
Actually Motherplant fertilizer…always has a 1:1 ratio of Nitrogen: potassium(N:K).This promotes easier rooting in the cambium.Mother fertilizer also has Amino acids( namely L Glycine & L Glutamate increase calcium uptake 1000’s of times more by creating calcium ion channels on roots).This calcium uptake makes a better vascular system and a much stronger plant capable of being high brix( suger) content or lots of stored energy from feeding at lower strength and the plant not wasting 30% the energy of photosynthesis to assimilate nitrates!!!

Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. You have opened my eyes to a few things I’m embarrassed I didn’t even think about.Actually Motherplant fertilizer…always has a 1:1 ratio of Nitrogen: potassium(N:K).This promotes easier rooting in the cambium.Mother fertilizer also has Amino acids( namely L Glycine & L Glutamate increase calcium uptake 1000’s of times more by creating calcium ion channels on roots).This calcium uptake makes a better vascular system and a much stronger plant capable of being high brix( suger) content or lots of stored energy from feeding at lower strength and the plant not wasting 30% the energy of photosynthesis to assimilate nitrates!!!
More photosynthesis and a motherplant fertilizer can go a long way to increase rooting of cuttings and air layers………check the article by my teacher
A girdle is simply the ringbark method to remove a ring of bark two times the girth of the trunk including a lite scrape off the cambium to remove it all and will not re-bridge…….and proper new rooting will occur and be air/layered.
