Solid vid, dude...
Thank you so much for no flim flam, no 19 minute backstory on why you love mangos, no buzzword crap, etc...
just knowledge bombs and “I’m out” 🙏❤️
Keep it up 🤙🤙🤙
Btw, just knew you were gonna spit a blue flame trying to tie that off one-handed lololol...

Just so new people know, the cambium layer is the green layer right under the bark. If you dont see green and you see that whitish brown inner bark then you are good.

You offered a Great tip. Use an Air Layer to prune unwanted branches .
I like to tape 2 zip ties to the back of the sandwich bag, instead of string, It helps secure
the A/L when you are working alone.

Absolutely the best video I've seen so far on how to do air layering.
Thanks for explaining in a simple manner the what and why of everything.

I found the biggest mistake is not being patient for the air layer to get lots of roots, cutting it free to early is a really bad idea, the roots are tender and can fall off, also plant it straight away how it is don’t mess with the roots and loosen them up etc, the roots will find there own way, just plant it carefully, it will grow. 👍

5:17 It's safer to pour some of the rooting hormone into a clean, recyclable container (such as a jar lid) and use that portion. That way you won't accidentally contaminate the rest of the hormone.

Pretty good job.
I'll try for sure

[MLJohnsonian]

Best explanation I've seen, and I've looked at plenty. Thanks for taking the trouble.

The other mistake you are doing is. You are applying the root hormone on the incision of the air layer. The root hormone goes on top of the top part of the incision, about one inch above that. It is very important that the cut of the top part of the air layer is right below a node because the roots will come from right there and right there is the part where the root hormone goes.

Hello Andre,
I loved your saran wrap solution. I do lots of air-layers near Durban, South Africa. One trick I use for single handed work it to take my wrapping twine which I cut to about 7 feet long, and tie a loop right in the center. I then place one end around the stem which I am cutting and through the loop so its ready to go when I get the bag into position. Then I am holding the bag tight with one hand, take my other hand and position twine over bag and just pull the end which I already passed through the loop really hard, until some fluid runs from the bag. Then I just keep wrapping both ends and tie off. Regarding ants, I see them a a sign of success. I do the foil wrap and when I open and see ants I expect nice roots 90 percent or better. My guess is that the conditions are good for both roots and ants at the right moisture level. Our climate has a dry winter and wet summer, not exactly like Florida but our summers are similar to yours.
Wishing you well and thanks for this excellent video.
Blessings,

Rick

Im going to try your method. The plastic clamshell's I used had zero success on all eight applications. Thanks for showing your skills.

If you use sphagnum instead of peat you can mold it around then apply plastic/moisture barrier

I air layered a pomegranate tree and used zip ties, instead of string because I did it alone. It worked great.
