Hi all my first air layer is a success in just 6 weeks
Please see below pics before after Thanks bodhi for showing me how to do
Could see the white roots starting to peak out last 2 weeks .... I thought hecks it's close enough to boxing day .

I have placed in succulent mix and watered with seasol any other requirements ?
As you can see its got a real good roots system so I think it should be ok .

Well done mate wih the layer .

Usually the layer site is unwrapped carefully leaving the moss intact so not to disturb the fragile new roots . Then after a bit of growth the roots can be bare rooted and positioned usually early spring depending on species.


So looking at this it may need good care . Due to the root disturbance .

Haha well done!

Are you still working on the original plant too? If so, does that tissue now scar. Either way, good luck with keeping the lil thing alive now!

Thanks
With English elm I've learnt they are very hardy ..
So I'm not to worried ..still heaps of fine roots on back you could not see and some on the front
Phone could not pick up ... It like all mine trees are well looked after .
It's will make a great mini or shohin.

Also bottom will be used as well just not sure how yet where the final
Chop will be
