Air Layering Cloning Technique

[jamstigator]

I guess it depends on how your cloner works. I use an EZ-Cloner, slap 30 cuttings in it, refill the reservoir after a week, and after two weeks I take out the clones that have nice roots growing. That's so incredibly easy, just one reservoir refill in a 2-week span, that I don't think I'd try air-cloning simply because it'd take more work. It IS cool though, and if I didn't already have something that works so well and with so little effort, I'd try it too!

Another vegetative method is called air layering. The advantage to air layering is that the clone grows roots while it is still on the plant, so it doesn't undergo as much trauma as an unrooted cutting. During the chaos of the cut, unrooted cuttings occasionally produce a mutation. An air layered clone is more likely to stay true to the mother. However, the overwhelming majority of clones from unrooted Rating: 5
