Looking for advice on air layering
Comments (7)That last site is good, there also was a really good one at the ARS site, but I can't get at it either, I can find some of the pictures on google, but not the actual ARS page. I almost tried it last fall, but just never got to it, I do that alot. NO procrastinating this year. Maureen, I hope you find the site you had, this way we have more information, but I think it will be about the same as keinefurcht posted. We will all have to do it and compare results.

Comments (6)I did the same thing with a couple of my gardenias - put them in the pots and you can tent them or cut a two liter bottle off (take about 3" off the bottom) and use the top part as your tent. You can take the lid off the bottle if it gets too much moisture. Keep it in bright light but not direct sun for about another 3 or 4 weeks and you should be good to go! Good luck....See MoreAir Layering
Comments (3)I stuck a couple alien pods on my friend's rose about 2 1/2 weeks ago. I should be seeing roots soon I hope, if I did it right. (that is what they made me think of, little alien pods, after I did them.) Then I will have to get my lights set up for overwintering....See MoreAnyone try air layering for hard to root ones?
Comments (5)Thanks, Connie! I looked them up. I think the only thing different about them and just wrapping some peat moss around a stem is the water reservoir. Since they're kind of expensive I think I'll try what I have on hand first. It LOOKS like you could make your own rooter pot with a small plastic drinking cup with a lid. But I guess there is a raised lip around the lower hole that keeps water in. I am not sure yet how fast a traditional air layer would dry out, but assume it works at least part of the time. I asked Paul Zimmerman why these particular roses are hard to root and he said it's a mystery why some are hard to root..a plant can be very vigorous and still balk at rooting. I see other people have trouble rooting teas whereas they are easy here....See Moreechinaceamaniac
