Know before you buy
Air layering allows the new plant to develop a root system while it is still attached to the parent plant. This provides the cutting with a constant supply of water and nutrients, which often leads to a higher success rate and faster growth compared to traditional cuttings.
This kit is versatile and works on hundreds of varieties, including most woody trees, shrubs, and many common houseplants. It is best suited for plants with stems or branches that are sturdy enough to support the moss-filled container.
Long-fibered sphagnum moss is ideal because it holds moisture exceptionally well while remaining airy, which prevents the stem from rotting. It also creates a naturally anti-bacterial environment that protects the developing roots.
Yes. Because air layering is a form of asexual propagation, the new plant will be genetically identical to the parent, meaning it will share the same leaf shape, flower color, and growth characteristics.
While results vary depending on the plant species and the time of year, you can generally expect to see visible root growth within a few weeks. This is significantly faster than growing a new plant from seed or waiting for a cutting to establish itself.
The kit includes the necessary plastic containers and premium long-fibered sphagnum moss to complete ten air layers. You will only need to provide basic gardening tools, such as a sharp knife for wounding the stem and potentially some twist ties or tape to secure the containers.
