Hey man, I read something about this somewhere else once, and I think it said this actually takes a little longer to root than cutting it off first because it is still vegging as well as rooting? It also said that while it may take longer, it is easier and works great because the mom takes care of the clone while its rooting instead of having to worry about misting and babying them. Any input on that? It seems a very cool method, I'll definitely have to try it this go around on my rhinos. I'll let you know how it works for me :thumbsup:

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
