You may have seen our videos on Air Layering (a technique used to propagate trees). In this video Padmapriya experiments with a technique called Ground Layering.
Ive had success using this method before to propagate jasmine vines along a fence. I used tent pegs to hold the stem down in the ground until enough roots developed to anchor it firmly.
Thank you Padmapriya for reminding me of this method of propagation. We have loads of lilac potential experiments around here to practice with once the weather warms up a bit. Ever since I have learned of using "willow water" in place of the rooting hormone powder I haven't used anything else. I also use the mix when watering young seedlings.
Nice simple technique. I've done this in the past with mixed success. I have a Juniper that was very leggy and didn't know what to do with it. So i did this about 2 years ago. I plan on repotting several small trees this spring if it has worked
Hi Padmapriya!! Let's hope it roots!! I've made a Scots Pine that's wrapped around a big pine cone and it's started to root itself into the moss that I've stuffed in the gaps, was quite surprised it did it but layering pines seems definitely possible!!
Love ground layering as both ground and airlayering really IMO help us create some of the best bonsai tree bases of its field grown or nursery stock or collected
That’s one thing I’m familiar with 😊, it’s very successful for मोगरा (jasmine) propagation, commented before watching the video, new things to learn even here! Didn’t know pines could be layered like this, will look out for update, what is the drainage material?
Just wonder if you cut the cambium of the whole perimeter of the trunk, wouldnt it increase the chances of having a nice radial root sistem? Or you just cut the botom part for a specific reason? Thanks a lot to both of you.
When I was little, I'm 68 now, mom would take a little spindly branch of something, rub the dirt away, grab a bobby pin out of her hair and pin the branch to the dirt. Cover it over.
I have had success with ground layering Satsuki azaleas and Chinese frill shrubs (I think they are called), my work sight has them in landscaping and I air and ground layer them regularly. I just prep plant same as air layer then I have some stakes that are hooked, I take those and stake the branch into a small trench then cover back with soil. Takes slightly longer than air layering but the percentage of time it strikes is higher, actually can't recall one that hasn't right off.
Question off the subject. How is the price determined in selling a bonsai tree? Is there a specific formula? Just curious. Thank you. Might make a good video.
Easy to do. I ground layer hydrangeas. I grab a branch and pull it to the ground. I just place a rock on the branch where you want it to root in the ground. Using a container is better for your application. Steve it might root, I’m not sure of the pine species ability, if you can air layer I would guess you also can ground layer.
For those who've done this, what would happen if the rooted branch was left buried? How about if the branch was cut just past the new roots, the opposite place you'd cut while layering? Would the rooted branch serve as a secondary trunk/aerial root to the parent plant?
@@andrewsalhany5665 Yeah; I've heard it said it can't act as a root for the parent because the sap flow can't change directions, but that also seems off because then you'd have hormones and compounds that usually run in the root-to-branch lane flowing in the branch-to-root lane.
I love videos starring Padmapriya. Best regards and much love from germany
Nice job ground layering video. It does work. Glad you showed it in a nice little short tutorial.
It's always nice to watch you do it. Your tips are wonderful.
Good tips (simple and straight to the point). Best channel to learn about bonsai.
Agreed
Gonna try that my self then... Thx for sharing Peter and Padma 👍
Like buses, you wait a long time for a Padmapriya video then three come along at once. 😂😂😂
Nice one Padma.

Great idea!
Hope you have every success, and wait for the outcome
Thanks Padmapriya
Really enjoy all the video u make. This is an interesting concep. Will have to find a plant and try it
Thank you for the demonstration. I am going to give it a try.
really excited to see the results of this 👍
Ini namanya cara tanam "merunduk" . Dulu jaman sekolah dasar tahun 80 an sudah diajari menanam seperti ini. Nice 👍
I have seen this happen in nature amazing how nature works. Will be interesting to see the follow up in a few months. Thank you for sharing
looking forward to see the continuation of this attempt. :)

I've found apple trees do this well and naturally, usually in nature when the limbs droop and eventually collapse under the weight of their fruit
Great video once again. I might give this a go with my ground cover juniper.

Not bonsai but I've been experimenting with putting some moss around the aerial roots of my monsteras to try and encourage more for growth

Good reference , thank you for the information.
Cool
A great technique to propagate many different types of plants! Grape vines work well with this.

This is very common with succulents. Pines and junipers might take longer probly 6 months like was said.
Which process has the best success rate pad? 🙏🏻
Interesting. Thanks.

Generally it's based on how old it is, but looks play a factor. Generally they're around the same price as a full size tree of similar age or greater.
Cool!

I have wondered this as well. It seems like it shouldn't, but plants are crazy lol

👍👌👌🙂🙂
❤️❤️❤️❤️ from indonesia
Good video. Have you had success with this?
in indonesia we call it "merunduk"
Interesting , so if that works then in theory air layering should work also? I did not know that you could air layer a black pine 🤔
Hi, any updates on this ?
Early boys
Nice video but Peter he needs a mic.On him like wireless.
Hello sir...
Great video but I'm struggling to hear what he's saying.
Se te a olvidado ponerle las hormonas👍
Where is Peter, Peter would be sure.
Well you brought brush and everything but forgot to apply the rooting hormone, nice video though.
They might have been dealing with multiple trees and not felt the need with this particular tree. You don't always need it
@@Stettafire as he said in the video that tree was not suitable to do the ground layering, he was just doing it for the video.
He skipped the hormone power application 😢
