In this Garden Tips video tutorial in English, you will know What is Airlayering and What is Ground Layering, Its benefits and uses and then demonstration of Air- layering Rose plant. Also at the end, Will show you a video clip on a Genius method of Air-layering.Stay Tuned…
What is Airlayering or Just Layering?
Air layering is a method of plant propagation that allows you to generate roots from branches while it is still attached to the parent plant.
SO Why is it Done? And Why not just grow from cuttings or seeds.
Because, It is useful for plants that are hard to propagate by cuttings or if you want your new plant to have a larger size instantly and also if you are not sure about the percentage of success you can achieve from cuttings.
This method can be used to propagate any plant and commonly used for Fig tree, Rubber tree, rose plant, jasmine and many others.
Air Layering is actually more complicated than taking cuttings, but has the advantage that the propagated portion continues to receive water and nutrients from the parent plant while it is forming roots. This is important for plants that form roots slowly, or for propagating large pieces. AirLayering is used quite frequently in the propagation of bonsai.
Methods of Air-Layering:
1. Ground Layering
2. Air Layering
Ground layering or mound layering is a propagation technique in which the original plants are set in the ground with the stem nearly horizontal, which forces side buds to grow upward. After these are started, the original stem is buried up to some distance from the tip. At the end of the growing season, the side branches will have rooted, and can be separated while the plant is dormant. Some of these will be used for grafting rootstocks, and some can be reused in the nursery for the next growing season's crop.
In air layering (or marcotting), the branch is wounded by a 2 to 4 cm long cut with the strip of bark removed to expose the cambium layer. For this you need a sharp clean blade , a scissor, a plastic cup or polythene bag, tape and peat moss or cocopeat or even plain soil or a mix of these.
Here in this example for Rose plant, I am taking a branch and carefully stripping the outer layer and exposing the cambium. For woody plants you might need to go deeper using incision method on both sides and then exposing the cambium. For beginners, Cambium is the inner layer of plant underneath the bark layer. You might need a surgical blade or knife for woody plants. Here I am carefully stripping the outer layer and not going too deep because the branch may drop off.
Optionally Rooting hormone is often applied to the wound to encourage root growth.
Well, then take a disposable plastic glass and cut it as shown and fill some soil and then wrap it around this exposed area. Then nicely strap this with a tape.
Then Its time to keep the soil moist, how do we do that now?
I use a medical syringe and inject water into the pouch once a day – about 10 ml of water, depending on the season.
After about 2 to 3 weeks, When sufficient roots have grown from the wound, the stem is removed from the parent plant and planted independently.
