Air Layering Guide: Cloning Your Plants

Air Layering - A Guide to Cloning

If you like plants or love fruits then this is the article for you. Today we want to give you our Quick and Easy Guide to Air Layering Fruit Trees. Air Layering is a way to duplicate your favorite plants and increase the number of fruits you want by creating more of the same plant.

We, at Ricardo’s Nursery,  will go through exactly how to air layer in a simple and easy to understand way. You can also watch this process on our YouTube channel @Ricardos Nursery .com


1. Use a sharp knife to cut the thin layer of skin around the branch. Remove around 2-3 fingers lengthwise of the outer bark skin layer to reveal the cambium layer. By cutting the skin from the tree we are interrupting the energy process and encouraging regrowth at the site of injury.

2. Create nutrient rich mixture for the air layer. Our secret potion is a mixture of peat moss, planting mix, and sand so we can keep the moisture locked into the air layer. Mix and create a paste out of these ingredients.

3. Wrap moist mixture around the open branch. Use the paste you created, place a large handful into a plastic sleeve or recycled plastic grocery bag to wrap it around the branch and cover the injury entirely. Major HINT: Be sure to use a lot of pressure when you are air layering!

4. Tie both ends tightly with flexible tape. Tie it up tight with green tape (which is very flexible) so that we prevent outside air from entering and keep the layer moist. This same method works for nearly all fruit trees from mangos and guavas, to peaches and avocados. This method greatly decreases the amount of time you have to wait, especially compared to if you were growing from seed.

5. When ready to plant, cut just below rooted section. How will you know when the air layer is ready to replant? You will see visible rooting. Remove the plastic sleeve and cut just below the rooted section and have all your planting materials ready. Transfer into the ground or planter quickly because you don’t want those roots to dry out. This process of developing roots usually takes around 6 months.

That is significantly faster than if you were to use a seedling, which takes nearly six months simply to germinate. If visual learning is more you style, don’t forget that you can also watch us go through this process on our YouTube channel.

    Using this medium to appreciate the effectiveness and quality service delivery of Trojanhack Cyber Security Company. Who was very instrumental in recovering my stolen BITCOIN and USDT from online fraudsters pretending to be Russian oligarchs.

    I was so lunkheaded to key in to their proposal and thus made me squandered a staggering amount of $187,640 to them.

    Every attempt to travel to russia to meet up always ended with stories from them. It was a very tough 7 weeks with them. They drilled the hell out of me.

    Later I realized I’ve been a victim of their shell game. So unsound I got scammed by such setup.

    All thanks to Trojan hack cyber security company who was able to recover my lost USDT and BITCOIN within 3 days after a friend recommended them, that he got a review of their services from Google.

    As an accountant, I’m typically cautious with my finances. However, last year, I felt pressure to join the cryptocurrency market, fearing I’d miss out on potential gains. An Instagram ad for CBEX Trading caught my attention, with its professional website, real-time charts, and promising testimonials. A representative named Elena guided me through the platform, offering a $200 welcome bonus. Convinced by their promises, I invested $87,000 worth of Bitcoins.
    But when CBEX’s website crashed, and all communication channels were severed, I realized I had been scammed. Devastated and lost, I searched for ways to recover my funds. That’s when I discovered Morphohack, a reputable crypto recovery service. Their expertise and track record gave me hope.

    Morphohack’s team worked diligently to track down my stolen bitcoins and successfully recovered it from the CBEX scam. I’m grateful for their exceptional service and expertise. Thanks to Morphohack, I was able to recover my losses. If you’ve fallen victim to a CBEX/PCEX Scam, I highly recommend Morphohack’s services.

    My experience with the CBEX scam and the help I received from ICC Services:
    Most investment scams not only steal money but also destroy lives and take a toll on mental health. What began as a promising opportunity quickly turned into a full-blown betrayal. In December 2024, I was contacted through Instagram page by someone who seemed knowledgeable about crypto investments. He introduced me to CBEX, a seemingly reputable exchange. Initially, it seemed legitimate; I tested a small deposit, successfully withdrew, and felt safe investing over 4 BTC. However, my account was suddenly marked as unverified, and I was asked to pay an unlock fee. I refused. Communication broke off, and CBEX disappeared. I reported it to local authority, but crypto scams are difficult to detect, and I felt helpless. In my quest for justice, I found ICC Services through a Google review. They specialize in cryptocurrency recovery and make it clear that success in some cases is not guaranteed. Nevertheless, they quickly got to work, using blockchain analytics and deets from other exchange platforms my stolen asset were tracked down. Within two business days, they froze one of the scammer’s wallets and returned 3.5 BTC to my wallet. It felt like a miracle. Their work was solid, their communication clear and concise, and I am eternally grateful. I highly recommend ICC Services to anyone going through the same thing. Contact Addresses:
