FAQ About Propagation of Rare Indoor Plant Varieties

Can you explain the air layering technique for propagating indoor plants?
Air layering is a method where a section of a plant's stem is encouraged to form roots while still attached to the parent plant. To perform air layering, make a small incision on the stem, dust it with rooting hormone, wrap it in damp sphagnum moss, and cover it with plastic wrap to retain moisture. Once roots have developed, the stem can be cut from the parent plant and potted independently.
