Air Layering Plant Propagation Pods - My Results & How To Use Them!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2021
- mynjgarden.con Product review video! These air layering plant propagation balls are an excellent product for making new plants from the plants you already have growing in your property! An easier way to propagate than traditional cuttings. These worked really well! I'm going to use them a lot on my property in Ocean County, New Jersey - planting zone 7a. I will clone fruit trees, berry bushes and native shrubs in my yard.
Here's where to buy them on Amazon... amzn.to/3sr29rl

I have had a box of twelve of these for several months and am so happy to have found the video the tells me how they actually work. Also I want to say, I find your whole attitude just delightful. Thank you so much for the video.
That's so sweet! I hope they work for you and you make lots of new plants with them!
Very detailed. I asked for an apple and you gave me the whole darn tree, THANK YOU, well worth the watch. 😘😂
You are the reason I bought my pods, they work far better than my old method.
That's great, Robbie! I'm so glad I could help! I've seen people use plastic cups, ziploc bags and even some tin foil! These are very handy!
Me too
Which pods is better - clear or black ? Thank you
@@svetaz.1294clear allows you to see the roots forming which is better in a way. But wrap them with aluminium foil. They kinda need to keep the moisture in and the foil will help with that because otherwise the sun will dry out the clear ones. With the black ones you have to wait in suspense for one or two months and either be thrilled or disappointed on the day you open them.
@@mynjgardenthe tin foil is often used in hotter climates for the plastic bags or clear ones to stop them drying out the soil/peat. Tin foil is commonly used here in Australia but in England where it's cooler they don't need to.
I love your enthusiasm you remind me of me
I love how excited you are in this video! It reminds me of my excitement the first time I successfully propped a plant and I kept feeling like "I AM A PLANT WIZARD!!!" Best of luck with all of your plants!!
I recently air layered 30 Vitex from 3 shrubs. I also only waited a month. I had nice footballs on 27 of the 30. I potted them. After 4 months, the root system was developed enough for me to plant. I now have a nice Vitex hedge started along my back fence to eventually block out a nosey neighbor.
Excellent! I love that. Create a whole hedge of your favorite plant(s). Great idea.
I'm deep into cacti and one of my suppliers has a whole wall of penis cacti. They're a mutation of trichocereus bridgesii and they are ALL propagated. They really look like what they say and honestly are the fastest growing cacti I own. I have around 600 cacti, lost count.
Wow! Plus a whole bunch of medicine! 🎉
Thank you for this video! It was great watching you do it b/c in several videos, the people make these super precise cuts that to me looks like it's a waste of time being *that* precise. Your video shows you really don't have to have the perfect cuts and scrape layers.
Good to see nice results! Exciting to see them do so well! My cuttings methods have had mixed results, so I’m trying the pods this year. I need some rows of shrubs, pricey when you need a hedge or two’s worth of them. They do say to wet the soil or mixture (like coconut coir, or peat moss…which is flammable, fyi, people, don’t use peat moss to mix with potting soil (your potting soil may already have it in there, too, check your label), in a planter or bed and pop an incense stick in it, that’s how I learned it’s flammable, it caught fire when it burned low…I guess a cigarette butt would also catch fire, so…it’s good to know…or add sphagnum or orchid moss, vermiculite, etc. to the soil to make it easier for the roots to form, and using rooting hormone will improve the results. They do say to water it or keep it damp, a turkey baster would be perfect to easily get some aimed just in the top, the pods are funneled to allow for watering…the balls have the ability to drain excess moisture, so with all those instructions, it’s good to see them work without all the recommendations.
Just go for it and stop spending a fortune on plants! I love that you showed everyone we don’t have to follow every little suggested detail to have great success! Plants want to grow and don’t know they have so many rules to follow. 😊 Wish I’d known about them 5 years ago, I’d have some good shrubs and fruit trees going by now! Better late than never! This is very encouraging, cuttings require much more work and have hit and miss results.
I started a few yesterday, did what is usually a “dude mistake” and went ahead to try them without really doing my homework on whether to pack the dirt tightly or not, stuff like that. Most didn’t need a zip tie (they have the thin, long buckle now, but I did break the first one just a little, so zip tie for sure), I used one on a couple, just the upper corner on the unhinged side. I learned to leave thorns on roses just below the pod to help make sure it doesn’t slide down, forgot to put on the rooting hormone at first, but know they’ll still root, maybe now I’ll see how much difference it makes when I cut them off. And I made up a mix of some of the ingredients to lighten it all up. Some say to pack the dirt tightly for pressure to help it make more roots, I was thinking it would make it harder, they’d have to fight for space, so I’ll have to research and test that.
Guess it would be interesting to test wet/dry, (wet probably most effective there), different mediums and tightly packed vs. not so tightly packed all on one shrub, take notes of which pod is which, and see if there’s a visible difference. Also dark or colored vs. clear ones that let you monitor root growth, how light affects them, since typically roots grow in the dark, under the soil. So many different bits of input.
I wanted to say I really enjoyed hearing a familiar accent since I’m out west now, and miss the East Coast. Makes one a little homesick. Great gardening in the Garden State! You’re keeping the reputation up! 😊🌱🌸
Thank you for this video. I’ve never used a rooting ball before but ordered a couple so I needed to know how to use. So happy I found your video because the directions you gave and showed were very simple. Loved seeing the end result also. Thank you again😊
Just discovered you and subscribed! I've seen these pod but jsut now bought them. Can't wait to get then nd srart using them. LOVE your energy!!
Oh thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Hi! I'm sure someone will hav mentioned it to u by now, bt, jst in case they haven't, figs r a lot more productive if u restrict the roots, so, if your large fig tree has free space for the roots to grow, it won't fruit quite as much as one that hasn't. That said, where one of the low lying branches of our one rooted itself outside of the concrete box that the tree is planted in, *a lot* of branches formed from it, and fruit abundantly each year 😀!
I have very rocky soil so that makes sense why my 3 fig trees do so good and I get two flushes of fruit before they die out for the winter
Super successful product for making new plants.. How Exciting! ☺🍃🌿🌱
I was not ready to make this video today. It snuck up on me. But when I saw that root ball?? I had to share!!
Love your energy!!! I am using these for the first time on my cherry, almond, hazelnut, dogwood and yellow magnolia trees. I will keep everyone posted on the results.
In the fall, when the leaves are off the fig tree, cut a 12” chunk off the fig tree and stuff it in a pot of soil or in the ground. Come spring it will leaf out and voilà, new fig tree. It’s literally that easy.
I'll try that method, too!
Yeah but in my experience only figs are that easy and you kinda have to baby the stick,
With this method the tree will always pump the stick for u , only need to water it
I’ve never babied the stick but my climate may be absolutely different than yours, too
Thanks for this video. I just got some of the pods and am anxious to try. Your enthusiasm is contagious!
Thank you, Scott! The video I just posted today was actually a big fail with one of these pods. It didn't work out in the greenhouse over the winter. Ahhh, you win some, you lose some! I hope they work out great for you! I think they work much better outdoors when they can get rained on!
I have pear trees that i air layer like this. But i use ziplock bags a towel and zipties. I've done up to 6 per branch and it works. You should use rooting compound and a tiny bit of aspirin. I'm at 100% success on these and i have made thousands over the years.
Thank you for this!! I have never heard of using a asprin. Why? And how much?
Why aspirin
@@TheNichols12345 Keeps the fungus and mold out.
What is a goomie berry bush?
Also thank you for the response
I just bought these! Can't weight to use them right now! As always thank you for your guidance.
Good luck! I hope it works well for you!
Awesome informative video! You’re adorable to boot! 😍
I’ve never heard of a goomie berry (goomie bears, yes😉) nor a “yawzah” (?) berry either so will look those up! Thank you so much! 👍
Oh thank you so much! The berries are just the best! Thanks for watching. :)
Awesome! Love to see that you posted results whether it was good or bad :) love that it came out good
Thank you! I ordered some of these and was wondering how to use them. I’m delighted it only takes about a month too.
i tried air layering for the first time a couple weeks ago and wish i had these! next time
Yes, they are easy to find for sale online. If I didn't try them myself I don't think I would even believe they worked this well!
Your excitement is wonderful! I just googled how to use propagation cups to see if I could find any helpful tips and your video popped up. I’m so excited to use these now. I’m hoping to propagate a dogwood tree and a lilac bush. Do you know what the earliest would be that I could try this as both are just beginning to bud out here in Indiana. And I just subscribed, because I love you as a fellow gardener already!
The only downside is that you can’t monitor the root growth unless you cut the zip ties, I used a combo of wrapping the soil in clear plastic bag then used the black pod to protect from sun damage! Happy growing :)
How did you keep the pod closed? Twisty tie? Twine?
I just bought a pack of root ball makers. I've got 4 of them on the hichiya persimmon tree as I am moving and want to take some of this mature old tree with me.
Good luck! I hope it works!
Hey that’s so cool! Have you noticed if the new plant is already mature since it was a mature branch? That would save so much time!
It definitely had a decent head start.
I love your enthusiasm! It made my day
Oh, thank you. I love when exciting things happen in the garden!
I just ordered some and decided to look at some videos to see how to use them beat and I found your video.
Thanks for the video your awesome
Yay! Good luck! I hope it works out great!
Mahalo for the info. I have a few pods, but haven’t tried until I found your video. Wish these were available sooner. I had a very rare mango tree I would’ve liked to graft. Too bad.
Oh wow - I hope you find another tree to try it on. I've read you can use plastic cups and shrink wrap to do the same kind of thing... slit the side, wrap around the branch, fill with soil, shrink wrap the whole thing. Give it a try!
Love your energy! Happy gardening!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
This partial scraping will work for some plants. For many you need to scrape all the way around and down to the dead wood.
I would think collaring would be risky in case the cutting didn't take. You are cutting off nutriention from the parent plant. As I understand, if the cambium layer of the bark is destroyed all the way around the branch or trunk, it will die. That's why I leave some intact, in case it doesn't root, I don't kill the branch.
Awesome 😎 I just received some from temu. Can't wait to try it out!
I am so excited to see how well they work!!! I'm ordering them! Thanks Lisa!
You're welcome! I'm going to try them on blackberries and hazelnut and witch hazel. This is a game changer!
@@mynjgardenCome visit me, you can have all the blackberry cuttings you want!!!
these pods definitely have improved. i had the "original" (not sure) ones from 2016...and they are almost the same as the current ones. the current ones now have that buckle on the left side. in the past...it was annoying to put it together
Oh that's great! Have you seen homemade rigs of the same? Saw one using a plastic cup... another using plastic wrap and tin foil.... brilliant!
I have ordered a dozen and am excited to try them now! Hope they work as they have for you!
Congratulations, Chad! Good luck with plant propagation!
Stumbled across your channel while looking for information on Nanking Cherry. I saw that you had a video on these little devices for air layering. I just bought them lsat month but haven't had a chance to use them yet. I hope I have as much success as you did.
That's great, Erik! Thanks for watching. Are you in NJ? Nanking cherries are so great. I live those shrubs!
Nope, Dayton, Ohio for the time being.
Temu also sells these rooting pods (cheaper than Amazon).
the apple tree that I tried, had been broken off at ground level (bears) but then, shoots came up. I put this on 1 of the shoots and it worked great. I did not use enuf soil inside and several didnt work. I also made sure soil was moist when I did it. elderberrys are everywhere in the bush here (northern ontario) so I can guerilla garden, some new plants
That's great! Scout those wild elderberries now and see which ones are producing tons of berries. Some wild seedlings produce better than others. Mark the trees you want to propagate so you'll know which ones are good even when they don't have fruit hanging on the limbs.
Use spaghmum moss ph is perfect, squeeze out excess water, best to wait the six months and plastic with tape and foil works best and you get a better root ball.
Your energy alone makes this video great. Thank you for the information I will definitely try this. By the way how is that plant now?
Thank you so much! The plant is great - I ended up giving the potted fig to my sister and it's thriving. I made a jostaberry and that worked and now I have 2 jostaberry plants - one on each side of the yard.
GREAT video! Mahalo nui for sharing. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
They're all over ebay too. I got some direct from china. Most people use coco peat or spaghnum moss. Mine just click together and have a latch to hold them closed. No zip ties needed. In hot climates you DO water them
Thanks so much for sharing this! You do awesome work! I wonder if a modified pod would work as well? For instance, a mini disposable water bottle with a 1/2" hole at the bottom and cut clamshell style. Then you could hold it together with some reusable fuzzy wire. :)
YES! I'm sure that would work. I've seen videos where people just make a bundle of soil using plastic wrap and tape! Brilliant. Use what you've got, man. This is the way.
Excellent! Bravo! I’m gonna do it using your water bottle technique. Just Wow! This will make sharing or cloning some plants so easy and fast ❤️🌺🐝
Be careful of a root graf tree. You'll have different root stock, original root.
Didn't even think of this thanks
So I can use just pain potting soil and I don't have to water it? Thanks in advance. :)
I just bought a set of these. what a great idea!
I'm about to check the one I have cooking on my olive tree!
Thank you.
You're welcome - I'm glad you found me. Thanks for watching.
What a great video, cant wait to try this with blue atlas cedar. Thank you.
Good luck, let me know if it works!
OMG! I am so going to do this in the springtime! I've been looking for a way to propagate my blackberry plants. No other method seems to work!
Great idea! I think it will work beautifully. I've layered blackberry plants in the past (bent down a cane, secured it with a landscape staple and then buried the pinned area with a bit of soil.) They spread fine that way - so this should work too! Good luck!
Blackberries here to! I ordered these and as I'm waiting I'm looking on here for videos this was the first one I have watched, cherry and apple tree, black and raspberries as well as grape is my goal
Awesome vidoe
Thank you for watching!
Just wanted to mention you can reuse the zip ties if you put the end of it back through it and then pull it through there are videos on how to do it that I didn't make
I will look that up! Thank you!
i just bought these! but i need to add dirt inside as I didn't do that i only covered the area that was scraped with ALoevera gel.
hot tip - no need for zip ties, it has plastic tab on the side just bend over
Unless the tabs break...😢
I am surprised you didn't need rooting hormone. Very cool. I know this works on fig trees, but I am guessing it can't work on everything. It might be fun sharing which plants it works on best. Thanks.
So far I've only tried it on the fig and the josta berry - success! We'll see how the goumi berry works out. Today I'm going to put one on a hazelnut, a witch hazel. Once my serviceberries get bigger, I'll be cloning those too. Do you think they would work on Blackberries??
there are a lot of foreign knock offs but the original pods were a made in the USA product.
You've probably realised by now, but the bit of plastic sticking out along the edge is a clip to hold it shut, you just have to bend it over and it clips it together. 🙂
Damn no rooting hormone even? Thats cool. I might have to try it
Figs LOVE TO BE MESSED WITH. What I mean by this is gently bending the branches down as if they're above you and you're picking off of them them it stimulates growth. And LOVE EPSOM SALTS SPRINKLED AROUND RAIN LINE. Just below the canopy of leaves. I had very old fig trees in our yard. When we moved there. They were not producing very many figs and if they did they were tiny. I started fertilizing them with Epsom salt and a fertilizer spike for fruit trees. Because the branches were a little above my head I would have to walk the branches down gently so not to snap them off. And I noticed year after year when I was doing this the tree actually started to grow again and produced a heavy crop twice a year And to boot they were very sweet. Give it a try you may find that your Fig tree in the ground just needs a little bit of love.
Aw, thank you Jane. I do have to say I threaten to get rid of my fig (and the damn apple trees) every year. But they live and are lovely in the summer time.... so they get to stay. I have heard about pinching the tips of the fig branches around July 4th to stimulate fruit too.... so I'm going to try that this year. "Hey family!!!! Where'd I put that epsom salt?!!?" (I'm gonna try that too. Thanks!)
Just bought some that's awesome!!
Good luck!
Well done👍
Were you able to get roots on the goumi berry? I know first hand they are hard to root from cutting.
Thank You so much !!!
I don't know what I did wrong but it didn't work on my mango tree branches in Florida
When is a good time of year to airlayer with these
at least 1 before before dormancy begins
I broke mine trying to open it and not a single video shows how to do this
Do you need to give them water?
Hi,
I want to try this on my hazelnuts. Is it good to do this during fall and should I water it?
Thanks
Do you have to add water to the pod
Sorry of I missed it but how long did you leave them on?
Could you take a cutting from a bush and do it that way or does it have to be connected to the bush?
I think for best results with this product you need to keep the branch attached to the bush. If you are cutting the branch off first, I would use a different method for cutting propagation.
hey, do we need to mist the soil before air layering or dry soil still work fine?
Great video.
Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
Wow
That is amazing!!! How are the Moringas doing? If not successful I plan to buy you a seedling 🌱 or try & use that pod thing on my existing moringa once I get another good branch.
Sadly, I don't the moringa cuttings are gonna make it. I did my best but I'll be shocked it they come back. They do NOT look good right now. :) It was a good try though!!
I’m planning on getting another one anyway so I’ll grab two.
Do you leave some bark attached to keep the upper part alive ?
Yes, you can't collar the branch completely... that is, you can't remove the bark all the way around... just scrape a small stripe on opposite sides so that the main plant can keep nourishing the branch past the wounded areas. If you remove all the bark, the branch will die.
You should have watered the soil first any way great work looks great
Can you brainstorm the timeline with me? Say I'm wanting to sell peach/apple cuttings in the spring- when do a put the ball on, when do I take it off, then do I need to keep the propogated plant inside over the winter?
Put them on now and you should be able to take them off by mid-May.
several tries b4 I got it rite. but BOY.. did I get it rite?.. full of roots.. elderberry and apple.. 6 weeks. I even tried using a plastic bag (didnt work for me) BUT SEE VIDS ONLINE WHERE IT DOES,
Aren't they great!? Yes, I've heard of people using bags and things instead of the pods, but I bought a handful of them so they are just right for my property and what I am trying to do. I'm really happy with the result!
If a plant has a lot of leaves in the way do you just cut them off before you put the ball on?
I didn't cut the leaves off. The plant did great.
Thank you
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Just did this on my old childhood apple tree. Just used a little Clonex on the inner bark.... FINGERS CROSSED! How often should I add water to the pods? I used peat moss
Surprisingly, you don't need to water them. I only had mine on for less than two months... but it worked out! Start with damp soil. Good luck!
After you planted your new tree did you cut off the branches? I saw people saying to cut the old leaves off but i wasn't sure what you did...
I just planned it and made sure it didn't dry out. I didn't cut off branches or leaves.
Do you have to add water to the pod while it's on the mother plant?
Nvm. All i had to do was watch long enough. And you answered it for me. Thank you
My one question is which direction do you put the pod. On one end there is a clip in the part for the stem. Clip at the top or clip at the bottom. Basically which way up do you use them?
I don't think orientation matters. They seem to be reversible.
Rooting powder helps I'm sure
Probably, but I didn't use that.
Will they work on blueberries? I don’t have fig trees, but I have blueberry bushes, crepe myrtle, azalea, and knockout roses.
Good question! I have blueberries in the yard. I'll have to try to use it on one this spring.
I hear Goumi's are a tough nut to crack. Please post your results 🤗
The goumi did not make roots when I opened the pod but I immediately potted the cutting anyway and cared for it outdoors near the original shrub. There are some leaf buds on it... so I'm not giving up on it until spring to see if maybe it will leaf out. You never know!
How often does the air layered pod need to be watered after it's in place please?
I did not water them AT ALL.
Awesome. Was this pod here the 5cm (2inch) or the 8cm (3inch)?
I think I have 3" ones.
Wow so how many shrubs/trees/ or plants can come from 1 branch?
I would try to make each section at least 8 inches (including the part inside the ball).
Does it need water? Tho
No, you don't water it.
Did you put water?
I didn't water these specifically and it worked out well. When I tried to use this in the greenhouse over the winter it dried out too much so I think the rain is all the water it should need.
Will this work on cuttings
This is an alternative to taking cuttings. I think these work because they are still attached and being fed by the parent plant.
No soil, wrong ph. Same with peat moss. With spaghmum moss soaked in water day before. Spaghmum moss works better. Six weeks would be better. But larger diameter I would wait the six months and use the plastic and foil method. But for these tiny diameter plants these rooting balls are fine. But hey do what makes you happy. Your excitement is adorable.
Thank you, Jane. The garden is my playground. haha. I love finding new stuff out there. OH OH! My hollyhock bloomed for the first time today! Wahoo!! ... Thanks for watching. :)
How could you maintain moisture level??
I would have thought this would be an issue too, but it wasn't. I didn't do anything to water these pods.
Hi, how often do you wanter the pods?
You don't water the pods.
When is the best time to do it?
I made the video the day I posted it, so I opened mine up August 15th. For me, that means I fastened these to the plants right around mid July! That's seriously the hottest part of my summer. I think it would probably be even more successful if you strap these on in the spring when the sap is really flowing and the plants are putting on the most new growth. I'm going to try that this year.
Thinking to try these on some very good bearing hybrid tomato plants.
I'm sure that would work QUICKLY for tomatoes.
