FAQ About Air Layering Techniques for Indoor Plants

To perform air layering, select a healthy branch on your plant. Make a clean wound on it using a sterilized knife or scissors, exposing the inner layer where roots will form. Apply rooting hormone to encourage faster root development. Then pack damp sphagnum moss around the wound and wrap it with plastic film or foil to retain moisture. Secure the wrapping with string or rubber bands. After a few weeks or months, when roots are visible through the wrapping, the branch can be cut below the rooted section and planted.
