[IBC] Air layer question
I have not found anything in the archives about this topic. Around here
there is no sphagnum moss sold in stores but there is something called green moss for hanging baskets. It is long and stringy like sphagnum, but is green. Is there a big difference between the two or will the green moss work for air layers just as well?

I can't believe, however, that as many nurseries (by nurseries I do NOT mean Home Depot and other places of that ilk) as there are in Tucson that you can't find a bag of sphagnum moss. Too many gardeners are thinking too strongly about air layering this time of year. Even (especially???) in the desert. Anyway, check the Yellow Pages and call a few nurseries. You will find it.

[IBC] Air layer question
Brian:
I have successfully produced more than a dozen air layers and I use Bonsai soil. In fact I wrote a short article which is available at the IBC articles.
