Air Layering Techniques for Indoor Plants

FAQ About Air Layering Techniques for Indoor Plants

What is air layering in plant propagation?

Air layering is a plant propagation technique used to produce new plants from existing ones. This method involves encouraging roots to form on a stem while still attached to the parent plant. The section of the stem is usually wounded and then wrapped with a moist medium, like sphagnum moss, to promote root development. Once roots have formed, this part of the plant can be cut off and replanted, resulting in a new, genetically identical plant.
