It's amazing to think this advanced technique has been around for ages. You have skills, VERY NICELY DONE.

Loves the video l...i had seen this method only once in Cuernavaca ,Morelos ,Mexico....by an old native american man.it was as impressive then as it is now.i will try it on my fig and lime trees.ty!

Hi Scott, Lovely instructions. Appreciate the presentation, I was here watching your video to know more on use of rooting powder.thanks a lot

I first saw this method many years ago in a book about Bonzai trees. Never done it myself yet, but your video has put me in the right direction!!! :-D

Thank you for your video, It was really interesting and helpful. Regards from New Zealand

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing and explaining. Rooting while on the tree seems like it would give higher chances of success than cuttings rooted.

Thank you for this. There's a lemon tree at my parent's house that I miss and this will help me grow one.

Good job Riddle, I alway lear something from you. Thank you

lovely presentation,, I too am a propagator freak with the same respect and love for plants that I can sense you have. i am experimenting with Magnolia Stellata, rooting a low branch, at the node in the ground but will try your method as well. You may want to emphasize that the growth does spurt forth from the noded area, for when I learned that a lot made sense. More respect and reverence for plants needed all around. I work in hospital,,,folks do not give a plant to a sick person who cannot care for it, I would be a wash with plants to care for and find homes for.

Ty...I actually have about 6 plastic type , fit together balls, for doing this same way..I ordered thieves a few yrs ago, and had forgotten about them. Tyvm for video

Very good demonstration of air layering. Thank you!

Rooting while the limb is still attached is an awesome idea and new to me. I will try this on the FIRE BUSH.

Just when plastic bags were banned in New Jersey. But there are many other workarounds. Thank you Scott. I just subscribed.

Delmis Rios Thank you for posting such a kind comment. This method also works really well on repertories, and tropical plants. Often when plants are kept inside during the winter for many years they will become long and lanky trying to stretch to what little like they can get. This is a good way to start a new plant from those overgrown dracaena’s and rubber plants.

Thank you for posting this informative video!

Excellent video. We will also try this method. Thanks

I would say that was more like graham cracker pie crust, than cookie dough. 😁 Great video! Thank you so much.

Good video, Thanks. Bonsai enthusiasts also use it to grab a limb that has been naturally bobsaied (if that’s a word) by early damage. Turn it right side up and, presto, instant bonsai.

Wow, best propagating video. Great job!

this is a really good rooting method we used this method a lot when people want our plants but usely cutting a piece of a plant and putting it in water allso work but much risky

Thanks Scotty! I'll try it and see.....

Thank you,I've been looking for this method for a long time. This is the method mostly used in Asia, they use coconut husk tied around the branch and water every day until the roots can be seen through the husk,cut the branch, to the ground.Your method is good,no need to water every day.

I wish you recorded your unwrapping too. How is the plant now, 6 years after? Thank you

couple "also"'s- you can use packing tape around the plastic bag to make tight ball. i've seen people use shrink wrap (you can get the small rolls with a handle at moving stores) someone also manufactures a plastic "root balling" device, 2 halves that fit over the branch and do same thing. this was really well done and well explained. only thing i am curious about is you nuking the peat moss? by doing this you kill micro nutrients and good bacteria. i am not trying to be one of these a-holes that says: you did it badly, here's how to do it better. i am trying to civilly discuss, please. thanks!!! i did very much enjoy your technique and shared it with others in a local gardening group.

Hi Scott, Lovely instructions. Appreciate the presentation, I was here watching your video to know more on use of rooting powder. I liked the info very much. I am also a great nature lover for the exotic variety of trees. The ones which happen to less in my part of the world. These days I am hunting for Baobab (Adansonia digitata) sapling. Perhaps I make a clone your way, one once I get to the tree (I have few leads as where its available- just 7-8 in India). I also appreciate the fact that you used the sentence "Grand mother's plant if you need to clone." Yes indeed my Granny's place has few old trees and they remind me of my grand mother a lot. I would love to have a clone(your way) of them soon. In the presentation you have used Magnolia champaca plant, let me inform you its widely grown/available tree in my place Bangalore.I am also crazy about its smell. I never thought it would cost $70.00 we here propagate it via seeds. I recently brought the same form a renowned Nursery for 65 cents and I had thought it was too high amount I had paid. Any way I am going to take care of it well, now. I'll plant it in my Farm House soon. I wish you please also check out images and posses very soon the following if you love exotic plants Egg Magnolia its same as champaca, in fact better and pls check the Cannon ball tree, Adansonia digitata.

Thanks for the very clear informative video. I live in New Jersey and I have a champaca plant and I want to try propagating it. When is the best time to do it? Right now my tree has a lot of flowers and is about 3 feet tall. Shall I do it in autumn or spring? Thanks.

Did it sprout roots? Does this work for all plants with woody stem? My Mum has this glorious looking paarijatha tree ( coral jasmine) which emits such a divine fragrance you can smell the tree 60 metres away. Does it work in Paarijatha? Mangoes? Jackfruit etc?

Thanks for sharing. You said in the video that in 3 to 6 months the roots will grow out. Is that right? or should it be 3 to 6 weeks? Thanks,

Nice, what is the biggest recommended brach size from which you can make a root ball? I suppose the bigger the branch, the bigger the amount of peat moss mass and the longer the wait.

@ScottRiddleArtist

6 жыл бұрын

Jose Gascon That’s a very intelligent question. Actually I would suggest using a less mature branch. Because the more bark you have to grow into or the roots have to grow through the longer it’s gonna take. So let’s say maximum 1 inch but shoot more toward a 1/4. To 3/4 quarters inch branch. And the root ball mass is pretty much the same size every time. It’s just to give or stimulate a place on the tree for the roots to grow out of. Actual size? Baseball to softball size?

Nice video and seems relatively easy. Will this work on a sapling that is growing out the side of a magnolia tree? Sapling has trunk that is approx. 2" diameter.

Thanks very much, I have an apple tree I want to save and propagate as it is slowly outgrowing it's original root and dying.

I didn’t get the second part of the soil mixture, peat moss and ? For the soil mixture?

can you use coconut fiber instead of spagnum moss?

what month is best to do a root ball a Michelia Alba?

Will try this method on my trochodendron arioloides (wheel tree)

what is the time to keep it on

Hi Scott, do you apply anything at all to the main stem once you cut the root ball? I have the same tree, but the branches are drying out because I've made cuttings on them without knowing they can't really be pruned. I don't think I can save it anymore at this point, but once you cut the root ball, does the wound heal pretty well?

@ScottRiddleArtist

Hello friend. A little mouthwash and then some latex paint. That’s the old-school way of sealing a tree branch after you prune it. Of course any kind of alcohol we work. But as it’s at a premium right now. Mouthwash might be easier to get your hands on. And from my experience. You do not have to treat the routed part of the branch before you plant it. I hope that was helpful! My tree is making seeds this year. I Had read that after they make seeds they start blooming. I sure hope not! LOL. And I can’t imagine there was anything around to pollinate it to make fertile seeds? But we will see. Like life, horticulture is a constant experiment and learning experience.

Very well explained !!
