Airlayering is a procedure to grow the roots on a stem or branch of a particular plant or tree.
Tried Airlayering on henna plant.
The pictures are listed below.
• Firstly, removed the outer bark of the henna plant using knife.
• Before removing, make sure the knife is clean.
• After that scratch untill you find the dark and centre of the branch.
• Then clean it with water.
• Make a dough ball, using cowdung and topsoil.
• stick the dough ball to the branch.
• And cover the dough with the plastic cover.
• Make sure to tightly tie the plastic cover to avoid inlet of insects.
• wait for 30 days to 45 days. until you see roots growing in it.
• Here in henna plant, I watched roots growing on 26th day. However I separated the branch on 30th day.
• on evening I separated it. Kept the branch in water.
• The next day morning I planted it in the soil. But it has dried.
• Asked suggestions with other Airlayering experts. They advised to not wait for planting after separating the #airlayered branch from plant.
Failed in first attempt.
On December 31st airlayered gauva tree branch.
On January 1st airlayered Neem tree Branch.
Still not able to see roots on both the tree branches. Will wait and update to you soon.
