Thank you for watching again.
I'm often asked, "What kind of soil do you use?", so I answer that question in this video. I use pumice-like soil and granular clay soil, which is an excellent mix of soil with good drainage, water retention, and fertilizer retention. I hope this video was helpful.

Why Use a Pliers Wrench?
To begin with, I highly recommend using a pliers wrench when doing air layering.It allows you to easily perform girdling and apply an important treatment that encourages strong root formation.
What is Girdling?
Girdling is a horticultural technique where you remove a ring of bark all the way around a branch or trunk.This temporarily blocks the downward flow of nutrients produced by the leaves, forcing the plant to redirect those nutrients to fruit or a specific branch, improving fruit quality, promoting ripening, or controlling growth.
It also enables root formation for propagation.However, one issue is that the girdled wound may heal over time due to the formation of callus tissue, which can reduce or cancel the desired effect.In propagation, if healing happens before roots emerge, the chances of successful rooting drop dramatically.
Prevent Healing with Pliers.
To slow down this healing process, use a pliers wrench to make shallow 360° wounds around the girdled area.This delays callus formation, giving roots more time to emerge.
Be careful though — if the branch is too thin or too soft, it may snap.Also, avoid completely horizontal branches, as they can break under the weight of growing shoots and leaves.Instead, choose slightly upward-facing branches.
By using pliers to apply small injuries around the girdled area, you prevent it from healing too quickly and allow enough time for roots to form and the new plant to become independent.
This single step — using the pliers — can dramatically improve your success rate!
How Wide Should the Girdle Be?
As a rule of thumb, the width of the girdled section should be about 1.5 times the diameter of the branch.So, if the branch is 3 cm thick, make the girdled strip about 4.5 cm wide for best results.
In this video, we’re working with a rare tropical fruit tree known as Sterculia monosperma, commonly called Chinese chestnut.
Moist Moss + Darkness = Healthy Roots.
Once the girdling is complete, wrap the area with moist sphagnum moss.It doesn’t need to be soaking wet — just slightly damp.Wring out the excess water before wrapping it around the wound.Roots actually tend to grow better in slightly drier conditions.
Then cover everything with black plastic film.Roots grow best in dark, light-blocking environments.When exposed to light, roots can get sunburned and die.That’s why it’s important to protect the root zone from light, just like how roots growing out of pot drainage holes can get burned by sunlight or ground heat.
