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.

    How to recover Cryptocurrency ; Binary Option & fake investments RECOVERY

    I advise first-time bitcoin investors to do their research before entrusting any of these Bitcoin investment websites with their hard earned funds. They gain your trust by portraying fake huge profits to convince you to put more funds, till when you invest a substantial sum, they intentionally freeze your account and demand for more payments to have your profits released. I had invested with a bogus company that ripped me off $198000 worth of Crypto, this was close to everything I Had in my savings. special thanks to Captain WebGenesis, whose recovery company put in a lot of effort and made sure I had my money back If you ever find yourself in a similar scenario, you can reach out to Captain WebGenesis through;

    Hello, my name is Grusso Lucas. I’m going to share with you how I got my stolen crypto back from the scammers, after falling victim to a cryptocurrency investment scam, I was introduced to this cryptocurrency scam by a guy I met on Instagram, and after investing all my life savings, they swindled me off $4,600,000. It was the saddest moment of my life because I couldn’t believe what had happened, I was bankrupt and my credit was damaged. I reported to the authorities and there was nothing they could do to get these scammers or return my money. I thought all hope was lost and was going into depression until I came across an article online about a hacker who could help me recover my stolen funds, at first I thought it was impossible to do that but I realized I had no other choice but to give it a try, to my surprise Geo Coordinates Hacker Security Company was able to recover all my stolen funds and upgrade my credit score, I wanted to put this out there for anyone who might be going through the same situation and has been swindled by this scammers, can also contact Geo Coordinates Hacker Security Company to help you recover your stolen funds/Crypto.

    “I invested with a Crypto broker without proper research to know what I was hoarding my hard-earned money into, only to find out it was a hoax and sham. I invested over $180,000 USD estimated to be 6.3 BTC. I was unable to make any withdrawals out of my initial deposits let alone the gains he claimed I have earned even after meeting the bogus fees and charges he is always requesting. Fortunately, I got to know about Perfect Hackers’s Bitcoin recovery programmers through research and positive reviews on Google. After a couple of hours consulting with them, all my funds were recovered including my profits. I can’t thank these guys enough for making me not another prey to these scammers. Thank you Perfect Hackers. Consult them via: morriswhite789@cyberservices.com

    I was absolutely impressed with the LOST RECOVERY MASTERS service’s high
    professionalism and hacking prowess. They successfully recovered my
    lost password after a few hours of deploying their equipment to allow
    BIP38 decryption of the private key for Dodge I’d held since 2019.
    There is obviously a high level of trust involved in handing over keys
    and possible passwords but carrying out my due diligence with reviews
    and one recommendation from someone I already knew, gave me the
    confidence I needed. The Doge was worth 100’s of thousands of dollars
    and he deducted the agreed commission and assisted me with getting it
    safely to my exchange. I’ve since monetized the coin so it’s real.
    Mightily impressed and grateful for their services after somewhat giving
    up on thinking I would never realize the substantial theoretical gain.
    I gave Recovery Masters as many seeds of various passwords I had been
    using around that era and as much information I could help and that
    greatly assisted the task. Their tech skills and equipment were just
    what were needed for the job and wish them all the success with lots
    more enquiries. You can learn more on their Website
