Prepare Your Cutting (Google Air Layering for more information):
- Find a suitable cutting and node. Girdle under your selected note and make sure the sapwood is exposed (you might even slightly scrape the sapwood).
- Use powdered rooting hormone on the exposed node and sapwood
- Fill both halves with sphagnum or your preferred medium (i.e. bonsai mix)
- Place girdled stem in the center of the ball (filled with sphagnum), and clamp both halves together using the provided clips.
- Wait 4-6 weeks.
