Thank you everyone for your feedback! Some of you guys told me that this method is called air layering, and it is been used in gardening a lot. I thought I was the first one came up with this method and was very clever 😂😂😂
Nicole do you have a method for ZZ plant? Currently it's a long wait game but so with it. I took some cuttings put them in water left them for months and topped it off often roots formed then the bulbs then new root bulbs with their own shoots as the cutting died off. From 4 cuttings I have 1 original cutting and 8 or more root bulbs with several shoots. It took 6mos just to see roots. I get sick and never put in dirt so I started to transition the saplings by adding soil to the water with nutrients in it. It's been a few more months growing like this. I will repot them this week. I also cut up some snake plant stems that were too long and put in water they now all have roots and are ready to go in soil for new snake plants. I never thought about selling them but the zz for sure is a labor of love that I will be selling.
I have watched your demo all the way and you have stimulated my interest in taking cuttings as a hobby. My plan is to corner the market - Ha!. I am 86 this year, thank you.
You have inspired me to air layer some of my philodendrons! You have shown how easy it can be and the act of cutting the stem half way is brilliant in making a resilient and self sufficient plant.
Wow! Like...WOW!! This was amazing for me! It's so perfect! Grow the roots before you even cut it...it's genius! Thank you so much! My Silver Sword is not happy and no matter what I've done, it won't grow. I know the only way I can start over is to chop but the thought made me shiver because I could lose the plant if a cutting doesn't make it. Thank you ever so much. You have a brand new fan in Canada!! 😁
Aloha Nicole! A great tutorial. I love how you took us on a visual journey up the plant stem, to nodes, etc. and showed which ones would work better. My eyes need the specifics. Thanks so much!! :)
Nicole you are a plant saviour!!! My philodendron Florida Ghost arrived all brown leaves and looking awful!! Maybe it was transit stress, dehydration, fortunately no root rot! I give it time to acclimate in my home yet I m trying your method as there are healthy airial roots and growing points for new leaves. Fingers crossed!! Greetings from Greece!
What a fantastic method. Very impressive. I'll definitely try it when I propagate some of my houseplants. Thank you for your informative and enjoyable video.
I’m gonna try it you’ve given me the inspiration! I have a huge standelyana that I tried to take cuttings and root in water and it just rotted I’m gonna try this. Also for my tetrasperma that is too large and growing into the ceiling. I’ve been able to water prop but it takes a long and the conversion to soil nearly killed them so I think this will be easier on them. Thank you so much!
Thank you , this is great. I have used air layering for citrus trees before and had success. I was looking for someone who has used this for philodendron before I make the cut in mine which is beautiful but out of control. I’m glad I found your video , very helpful.
Amazing results! I'm familiar with this method but haven't tried it on houseplants. Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention! BTW, I'm really enjoying your videos!
I used air layering recently for a hoya chelsea. I got it in the mail and one of the main stems was broken but not completely. So the outer layer of the stem was already compromised. I put a little rooting hormone in the cut and then built a little pocket with plastic wrap and sphagnum moss and kept it moist. Keeping it moist in my climate was a bit challenging. I had to use a little dropper to add water to the pocket every few days. It developed roots inside the pocket in about two weeks. I kept it there for two more weeks, then made a full cut. I left the moss because the roots had adhered to it, then buried the roots and moss in soil.
Hello there! Yes it is a good method ! I learned it decades ago , it is great to see it done . How happy ro see tour success😁i did subscribe to your channel because maybe there is something new to learn or revisit😉 Keep being plant happy
Great video! This may be a known method but it doesnt seem very popular on UA-cam so I do hope others will credit your video if this is where they first saw it. You definitely made me aware of this method. I just cut up my brandy to propagate but I wish I saw this first 🙃
I haven't done air layering yet, buI will try it bc, as you said, the cutting sometimes rots. Thank you for the closeup view of you doing the layering. It helps to be closeup so that we can learn.
🌓Hey there Nicole how are you doing love? First I would like to say you are such a beautiful soul, such a sweet spirit, you videos are are very informative but yet relaxing, I haven’t seen this method you shared today either on YT. So thank you soooo much for sharing, I am eager to try this and I will keep you updated for sure, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge of plants and for taking us shopping for plants. Lol. I have a huge collection of plants, I love plants so much, I was blessed to find a very healthy zz plant with 5 or 6 plants in it for $2. 62. I thought I was seeing things, it screamed with excitement in Walmart in Alabama. It was in clearance, I was praying for a zz plant at a great price, but a very healthy one of course and I got it, I also picked up several more plants for cheap. They were very healthy as well, I even checked the roots and examined them for pests, and I am very satisfied of my new babies, maybe I’ll take some pictures of my plants and send them to you by IG. But first I want to do your method on some of my plants. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos, and please know you I truly appreciate it. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing more wonderful videos. Bless you Nicole and have a wonderful rest of the week.🦋
I'm doing great! How have you been Kim? Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm so glad you found my videos helpful! And congrats to the raven ZZ! I saw them at local nurseries but I'm the same way. I don't want to spend a lot of money on it so I purposely waited. So glad I finally got one from Whole Foods. And $2.62 for a healthy and full raven zz plant is a STEAL!!!! I'm so happy for you!
@@SunnySideUpwithNicole I didn't even know one was scheduled! I will have to look up the details and see if I can make it. I would love to! I need some in-person plant people time 😆
What do you recommend to do when I already have a Monstera standleyana albo cutting? I have two of them and I’m trying to figure out the best way to get roots since they’re cut. Please help!! Thank you.
Hi. This is my first time watching your channel. Yes, I like the content of this video. Thank you :-) I'm going to give it a try after I buy some S. Moss. I just subscribed.
This is BRILLIANT! Thank you so much for sharing this! I have had the worst luck with propagating all of my plants. I'm excited to give this a try! How do you like to propagate snake plants?
May I have a question? Did you ever get a new stem growth with air layering? Is it possible? Or do only roots appear? I bought lower half of philodendron dark lord and now I am trying to find out, if there is a way to safely increase my chance of getting more then one new growth without cutting it. I dont want to make the new growth weaker by cutting the plant...
Let me know how it goes! I just realized this method is called air layering. I thought I was clever 😂😂😂 I have not propagate a rubber plant before. Hopefully they are easy to root.
I'm currently air-layering my Raphidaphora Tetrasperma as my test subject on this method. It took forever to start rooting but it worked! Except it grew a lot so I added another air layer😂
Yep, "Air Layering" and you are very clever regardless if you didn't come up with it! ;) loving all your video's your putting out 😁👍😍 *hugs* keep 'em coming! I had no idea that my Philodendron Horse Head that i got at The Flower Farm would get that BIG (although I've noticed she is growing fast!) Did you get yours at The Flower Farm too? I'm also interested in how big your Monstera Standleyana Albo Variegata is doing??? I got the same one at the Flower Farm as well and it's growing so fast and big! I'm gonna be putting a moss pole in for her cuz she is growing so fast ... apparently my plants are females LOL.
Hahahaha! Nothing wrong with all girls in the family 😊 Yes I got mine at the flower farm. It needs to be repotted but I'm out of pot!!!!! I also got the monstera standleyana from flower farm as well. I got mine last year but I gave it to a friend in winter. It was taller than me lol. They are definately fast grower! I recently bought another monstera standleyana from them and I planned to do a giveaway to my subscribers soon. Yes they need a pole. Without a pole, they grow so leggy.
@@SunnySideUpwithNicole oh that's awesome 👍 you are gonna make someone very, very happy. So i got sister plants to your's woot, woot LOL. I love that place and am planning a trip in the Fall....that would be cool if you could come out and meet me there! I'd love to meet you 😁👍 if you're interested of course.... I'm hoping the Pink Princesses, Monstera Peru and Hoya Polyneura will be ready and I can talk Keith out of one of each lol. I'm gonna go check out Larry's and that Thrift store place with all the cheap nice plants you showed as well.
Thank you for the video. I wonder why it's called air layering when the working area is under wet sphagnum and plastic wrap? Oh well I really like that method and look forward to trying it. Thanks again. 🌻
Hi Evan, if it is in the middle of the hot summer (like now), I check it every 4-5 days, just making sure the moss is moist. If it is dry, I give it a little mist. If it is in cooler days, you might not have to check that at all. Hopefully this helps!
I wanted to let you know that I scored a philodendron Birkin at my local store only nine dollars for a big one so I brought two one foe me and one for my daughter I will use your shopping tips for plants from now on ,oh yes i know this isn't the right video too excited 😆 😄 😀
Thanks for leaving me a comment Carol. It doesn't matter under which video.😂 I'm so glad you got a couple Birkin! What a steal! Congratulations! The cheapest one I found at my local nursery is $20 for a very small plant. Hopefully my local big box stores will get birkin soon!

I bought cuttings for the first time today, you saved their lives I'm sure! You are so cute I love how knowledgeable you are!
Such a great method! Rooting before cutting is like actually raising your children before kicking them out to fend for themselves
Hahaha great comparison!!!
Love u comment hahaha🤣🤣
I have watched your demo all the way and you have stimulated my interest in taking cuttings as a hobby. My plan is to corner the market - Ha!. I am 86 this year, thank you.

Loved it
I love that you do updates in your videos...it really helps us know that your methods work. I will try this at home tomorrow..thank you!

Absolutely amazing video! So informative. Thank you so much! Also, your lipstick is so cute!
Creative to think of air layering on the thicker stem house plants. I see this a lot with fig trees and other fruit trees!
Yes, I've seen this propagation method used on bigger trees like Japanese Maple.
This is the safest method I've ever seen on the internet.. thank u for teaching me 😁🥰
What a fantastic method. Very impressive. I'll definitely try it when I propagate some of my houseplants. Thank you for your informative and enjoyable video.
You are very welcome!

Excellent explanation. Thank you.
Never heard of this method, thank you for sharing. So far I have propagated in water and from division.
I works very well on aroids! I can't go back to the traditional water or soil propagation anymore😂
Amazing results! I'm familiar with this method but haven't tried it on houseplants. Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention! BTW, I'm really enjoying your videos!
I didn't know it has been used in gardening for many years until I saw people's comments. Thought I was clever 😂😂😂 Oh well, it is what it is.
Simple and sounds really effective. Thanks.
Wow! Thank you for your experience!
Really useful information. Thank you so much. 😉
Great idea. Can this method be used for propagating a corn plant?
I used air layering recently for a hoya chelsea. I got it in the mail and one of the main stems was broken but not completely. So the outer layer of the stem was already compromised. I put a little rooting hormone in the cut and then built a little pocket with plastic wrap and sphagnum moss and kept it moist. Keeping it moist in my climate was a bit challenging.

I left the moss because the roots had adhered to it, then buried the roots and moss in soil.
Thank you for the information Kyra. I feel so stupid. I thought I was smart but I didn't ever hear about it before 😂😅
I was worried about trying to propagate my variegated syngonium but this method takes that stress away completely. Thanks for the tutorial.
You are very welcome!
Did you have success? I've killed so many & my wallet isn't liking it.
Thank you so much mine is very tall and I wanted to find someone propagating the same plant as mine, thank you

Awesome love it! Thank you.
I love this way of propagation I will definitely give this way a try thank you 😊
Now that is such a smart idea ur way of preparing ur cutting! Happy to hace found ur channel. I think ill learn alot from you :-))))
I was given a node without substantial roots. What is my best route? Water propagate or moss with wrap?
Hi…, Yeah, it looks easy. What about other types of plants? What about roses and fruit trees? Which method do you use? Thanks…
This is great, thank you!
Wow! Great technology. Thanks much
Good idea thanks for doing this video

Can we use coco coir instead of sphagnum moss?

Hello, I have a question, can i also use this method when the leaf is already been cut? i have bougth a leaf cutting today ;) greetings Tessa
Million thanks
Can i use soil as substitute?
This method is called air layering... Good video 👍
Remind me your soil mixture please.
Thank you
I like this method will definitely try it 😉

Hi, Nicole! Do you wet the moss about once a week? How often should I do that?
Hi Evan, if it is in the middle of the hot summer (like now), I check it every 4-5 days, just making sure the moss is moist. If it is dry, I give it a little mist. If it is in cooler days, you might not have to check that at all. Hopefully this helps!
