Air Layering...

18 years ago

I just found a nice article on air layering. I've heard of it, but didn't really understand it untill just now.

Has anyone ever tried this technique with passiflora? Any luck? Seems like a good alternative to the "cut & hope" method I've been using, as the cutting is still attached to & supported (nutrients, etc) by the mother plant while the new roots are developing.

Just curious to see if it would work.

Thanks-

Air layering is the only way to root cuttings for Lady Margaret, I think. Actually I use this method for all of my rooting. It is very fast compaired to anything else. And does not allow the cutting to be stressed--no wilt.
