Have you tried air layering?

Thought to try this with my Campos. With spaghnum and saran wrap. Its been only 3days but great progress. The leaf that hasnt harden grew bigger. A new leaf is unfurling and another on the way. Gonna wait til the root is established before I cut #propagation #airlayering #philodendron

I did it with my largest rubber tree the first time I had to prune her because she hit the 10' ceiling in the middle of winter ๐Ÿ™ƒ

It worked perfectly! I never thought to do it with plants that have aerial roots! I'll definitely have to give it a try!
That looks like something I'd like to do!!! Please tell me more!
I like your plant's name ๐Ÿ˜„
I have not done this, but I am very curious about the process.

Hi Angel @angelw1975 , Malorie @malobee
I find upper parts
of the plant that has a little aerial roots and wrapped it with moist spaghnum moss. It needs to be kept moist for the roots to grow. I saw other methods that have additional steps of making cuts in the bark for woody plants.

Oh wow @PlantMompy Thats so awesome when they grew so tall. Yes do try. I saw on youtube someone did air layering on her PPP and it worked well. So thk worth trying on plants with aerial roots
