Rooting top of plant to create another root ball?

[headshake]

I hate to get technical (OK, actually I enjoy it! ) but he's talking about "ground layering". These are usually done with side branches although, like HeadShake said, it should not be any different. Air layering would be to bag up a soil pouch up on the branch. Very interesting topic, mad reps yo.

you are right Octillo. i stand corrected. i got ahead of myself in a rush to be over-helpful. lol. thanks!

cool stuff indeed.

Just wondering if anyone has tried a technique where you bend the top of the plant so its buried and creates another root ball ... if so, what is it called? I noticed that some Azalia bushes in my back yard are doing this and creating a ring of new plants around the original trunk of the plant. ... Just wondering if its possible with weed? Rating: 5
