How To Air Layer Propagate Plants | Umbrella Tree + Schefflera Cutting Update

- Hi lovelies! Today I finally made my video about air layer plant propagation and I'm showing you how to do it on my Umbrella Tree/Schefflera plant. GET EXCITED. This video has been a long time coming, I wanted to make sure I got results before I posted a video on how to do it, that's why I have a little update in there for you! This method works on pretty much ALL plants, some need a little more work than others... (looking at you, Umbrella Tree) If you have a Pothos/Philodendron you can try wrapping one of their nodes and see a root come out without having to "injure" the plant.
Hope you guys enjoy! THANK YOU again to all my new subs! Welcome to the weird family :)

I do get a small cut if these items are purchased through the links I provided - I appreciate the support if you do but no need to buy through them if that feels weird - KNOW AND TRUST - I only recommend things I own myself and love with my whole heart :)
This is an excellent video and i'm gonna try it! also i super really appreciated your update interruption. I love when you can see the results of a technique. Perfect 👍
This video was sooooo entertaining. I think you are very funny. Thanks
I cut a 1/3 wedge at a spot where branch and leaf stem meet, wrap in moist peat moss. Spray with water again(spring water). Wrap in plastic and use a lil electric tape instead of ties. Leave 12 weeks with occasion mist on peat moss. I have a 8 foot two branch. Ty for the awesome ideas cause mine is 18 years old so I gotta have a few babies from her. Wish I could post a picture 😢
Love your videos.....so helpful with the added bonus of being entertaining & funny.x
I've killed all my schefflera and I love them...too much. This will give me a new way to love them.
Love your style!
😂 I’ve killed many plants with my love, name of the game sometimes. Thank you for watching !!
Very funny video! I laughed to hard when the moss fell off lol
I’m completely mind blown. My last prop turned almost completely black. 😩😩 which lead me to finding you! I’m definitely now subscribed 🤗
Oh nooo I hope you try again and it’s a success tho! Thank you for watching!! 😊
@@Macksimize100 I’ll try again when I go to my friends. It was her plant I got the prop from.
Its nice to see others are using this method. Even just using it on any plants with nodes helps for an easier transition to soil, faster root growth, and it still continues growing. Benefits all around. I did a video on it with my Philodendron Green and Red Emeralds awhile back haha
Yesss it’s so much easier doing it this way without the brutal commitment of cutting off a limb 😂 but ooo I’ll have to check your vid out ! 😊
@@Macksimize100 the roots grew like crazy!!
Its damn near the only method I use now unless I need to do it asap or it's a cactus lol
I've even tried it on Hoya and it works!!!
Wow it works on hoyas too?! I might have to try it on mine because I don’t have the heart to cut her up! 😂
@@Macksimize100 Do it!! I had my concerns that they wouldn't do anything but they grew!(:
I use the same method, but with a different way of exposing the stem. I use the craft knife. Remove a leaf/branch. Make a small, shallow, upward cut in the stem just below the node of the removed leaf. Wedge a short length of matchstick or Sphagnum moss in the cut to stop it closing and self healing. Don't cut too deep. Then do as you do using Sphagnum moss and plastic wrap. Ordinary multi-purpose compost will do also.
I've never used this method but i now will try on a ficus...thank you!
Thank you so so much ...your video is a help ...I made 2 schefflerra by air layering after this video...thank you again
Yay! So glad it worked out 😊
This is so helpful and interesting! Thank you!
I also was wondering what your advice is for umbrella trees that are HELLA root-bound. I'm talking a big old brick of roots. I inherited my plant Rod from a dive bar, from a bartender of the same name, and so I love this plant. However, it only has two stems coming out of the root-bound dirt, and the stems are both quite woody and sad-looking. It put out a couple new leaf whorls when I first adopted it, but it hasn't for months now. I was thinking I needed to root-prune it, but now I'm reading people's articles saying umbrella trees LIKE to be ROOT-BOUND?! Any perspectives you have to share for this particular situation would be so appreciated!!! Do I just need to repot it?
I love your channel. You're chill af and your cat is nice. Thanks for doing what you do!
Kelly anderson I just saw this.yes and no on the root bound.If she has that much roots and you aren't getting leaves.It's cause she needs repotting and they are drinkers.Thursty needers.Move up to next pot size even doulbe it if it is that root bound.Befor water here and keep chk.on her after she's hydrated.Also look@ the Swedish plant guy channell.He's wonderful and just put out vid.on the umbrella. Best of wish's😊✌🌹🌹
My first time here. This video was helpful. Love it
Dope, thanks for the information, definitely will try it with more confidence,
Thanks!
I love your videos I’m always learning something yassss Queen
Haha thank you!! ❤️😊I’m so glad
Super helpful! Thanks M!
i tried this and left it for a couple weeks but so far nothing. i dont think i stabbed the correct area since i did it at the topmost layer of the plant and i dont remember if it had the tiny bumps where the roots would grow:( but i did do it at the node between two stemps (?)
Believe!!! Haha great video!!!
Thank you I have tryed it and it worked for me on the same tree...thank you so much
Awesome to hear!
How long did it take?
I love your videos - they are helpful as well as entertaining. I have a question though, about stem propagation. Is it possible to successfully propagate a schefflera, using stem propagation?
Thank you!! And yes! Definitely can be done, it takes a little longer for Schefflera in my experience than other plants but it is possible
So helpful!!! Do you think I could do this on a portion of the stem that is already woody? 🧐
Yes for sure! You might have to scrap the stem a little further down but this will definitely work regardless. People use this technique on full grown outdoor trees sometimes !
Someone is giving me theirs because it hasn't branched out. It's just one long stem and set of leaves and today one of the leaves broke off. How can I encourage it to branch out?
I have the same with my schefflera. It’s just one long stem that keeps growing up and up. I’ve just snipped off the top to propagate the cutting and hoping it will mean the original stem will now change shape
They don't branch out. The plant has a stem that continues tot grow taller. You can place more the one stem into a pot to make ik look fuller. They often sell them with 3 stems braided togheter.
Hi there- wonderful idea here. I feel a little lost- when did you apply the moss (sphaegem moss right?) was it after the wetted paper towel or before the wetted paper towel/plastic?
Hey! So you don’t have to use moss if you don’t have any! Just wet paper towel works by itself directly on the branch wrapped in plastic OR you can do wetted sphagnum moss directly on the branch wrapped in plastic!
Would rooting powder help speed it up?
Yes I think it would! I’ve never had to use powder but definitely can’t hurt to try it😊
thanks for this! :-)
Do you ever use a grow light? Would that help the process, I guess for the one you cut. 3 months!!??!!
That definitely couldn’t hurt! I haven’t been using a grow light but that’s a good experiment to try and see if it works faster
I tried it for like six weeks then gave up and cut it and put it in water. My other one that put in water has roots!!!!
How do you sanitize your blade/scissors?
I just wipe it with some alcohol!
I hear you say sterilized the blade. Why is that?
It just prevents the spread of any diseases if you use the blade on other plants or home objects that might have different substances on them!
I don't think you are "tricking" the plant into thinking it's injured.
I am too scared of air layering to try😂
Haha I get those feelings 100% - it seems intimidating but I swear it’s easier than I thought!
