I have not seen this covered yet, so here is a little tutorial for everyone. Pack a bowl sit back and enjoy
1. Gather all your tools:
*Lee Valley Rooting pot w/ lid
*Angled siringe
*Razor Blade
*Paint Brush
*Rooting Hormone
*Shot Glass
*Cup of Water, Duh?
2. Find a nice branch with plenty of room for the air layer.This one was perfect. This is the ideal branch type to do this technique.
3. Take your razor blade and make a cut to expose the inner layer of the branch.
4. Fill the shot glass with rooting gel and use the paint brush to apply the gel to the exposed cut.
5. Take the rooting pot and wrap it around the branch to locate where it is going to sit on the branch
6. Fill the pot with medium, I used a perlite/coco mix.
7. Add water too the cup using the siringe, you can hand water too,but the siringe makes it a little more gentle to not disturb the gel on the branch. Once the lid is on, you will have to use the siringe to water it.
8. Place the lid on and make sure everything is snug.
9. It should take 1-3 weeks to root and check the water level every few days and add more with the siringe as need. Thats about it.
