    Hello from Australia , I airlayerd orange trees and took mine about 4 to 5 months for a good amount of roots , my mistake early on was cutting the airlayer branch with not enough roots on it , the result was a dead tree after , I learnt lots of roots like yours equals success , I plant it as is into a pot of seed raising mix with nutrients in it for seeds and all mine grow 100 % , your video was lovely much appreciated watching it , I’d love to try maples to see the difference in rooting time , early spring time ( September here ) I do the airlayer because of the length of time it takes on citrus trees , looking forward to more airlayering , thanks for sharing.

      Hello! Thanks for sharing your experience. It's great to know that air layering citrus tree is possible. Some genus do take longer to produce roots. I tried chinese elm last year and it just wouldn't do it no matter what. I gave up and ended up sticking cuttings in water and that worked in two months. I am air layering two japanese maples at the moment and they should be ready by the end of the month. Let's have fun air layering more trees! ^^

    Thanks for the content and introducing me to PeriTune. I love learning about or watching greenery it is very relaxing. I also grew up enjoying Japanese RPG games with a similar musical style, I have no choice but to sub at this point. You are very meticulous at what you do and I thank you for it.

    Great video and air layerings. I took some cuttings from a JM in March and these are doing well, I made an update video on their progress and will do more on them in the future. I have them in a mini greenhouse where I can close them up to protect them from direct frost/wind/snow etc in winter. All the best.

    I just did my first air layers today (2 spots on my Japanese Maple) and came to UA-cam nervous that I had forgotten a step. Looks like I did everything nearly identical to yours. I have a few larger branches to attempt tomorrow. What's the largest branch you've ever achieved success with? Also, I'd love to try my dogwood (Cornus Florida) but everyone online says they are very low success. Anything you know of to do differently/extra with stubborn species? Thanks so much! Loved this timeline video.

    • @SeowLikeMeow

      Thanks! Sounds like you are having fun. I have not done anything bigger than what was in the video. I'm air layering the air layered trees from the video this year for height reduction and plan to put them all into a forest composition next year. I do not own a dogwood so can't tell you about it. I tried air layering Chinese elm but it wasn't successful. It kept trying to heal over. I thought elm was supposed to be easy. I ended up severing it and placing them in water and that rooted fairly fast and easy, even on a 1" cutting. Perhaps you can try both methods on your dogwood. Good luck! ^^

    Nice video, great time line too, not many videos show the tree developing over the months! I’m trying air-layering at this time,(April) in northern Cal. , Japanese Maples, Harry Lauders walking stick, Chinese Evergreen Elm, and the native Calif Sycamore. One question, I’ve covered the clear plastic bag w/black plastic or tin foil to keep it dark inside, have you found this NOT necessary? Thanks!👍🏻

    • @SeowLikeMeow
      @SeowLikeMeow  2 роки тому

      Thanks. Covering helps keeping algae and moss from coming to life. I don't think it affects the actual rooting process much. Hope this helps. ^^

    Great video. I always use peat moss for air layering, seem like stagnant moss much better. Peat moss end up too compact . In between , what is the plant at @15:59 , last row middle pot that seems like have yellow fruiting?

    • @SeowLikeMeow
      @SeowLikeMeow  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks! Yes, sphagnum moss is more airy. I like it but if using it indoors, it needs to be boiled to prevent bugs especially fungus gnats from hatching. The fruiting plant is a variegated kumquat tree. ^^

    So fast rooting I have never seen...maybe its Californian climate
    Here in Germany its too dry and my airlayers go often wrong🤘🤘🤘

    • @SeowLikeMeow
      @SeowLikeMeow  2 роки тому

      Thank you! It's very hot and dry in the summer here in California. I try to make sure I wrap the junction really well in a tight ball to prevent too much moisture from escaping. I'm too lazy to check them often but checking and watering the sphagnum moss occasionally is probably a good idea. Hopefully you have better luck the next time you air layer! ^^

    Thank you so much for this educated video. I am living in Los Angeles area (10A). My question is : 1. How wet the moss have to be prepared for the air layering ?
    2. When is the best time to start air layering? ( just as the new leaves come out? Or wait the all leaves fully developed?
    Appreciated,
    Simon

    • @SeowLikeMeow
      @SeowLikeMeow  Рік тому

      Hi. Wet the moss thoroughly and wring out just enough that water stops dripping. I usually do my air layer around May. As long as the tree is healthy, you can do it anytime during the growing season but give enough time for roots to develop and harvest during the same season. Good luck, Simon!

      I have not tried lace-leaf type but I would assume so as long as it is a maple. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
