air layering
 

Hello.I've tried airlayering many times in the past with very little (almost
none) success. But recently i picked up an old houseplant book and i saw
another method of airlayering in which the author cut a slit upwards into the
tree (about halfway into the trunk) as opposed to removing part of the bark. He
then slid a toothpick in to hold the cut open. Has anyone tried this method and
is it anymore efective.
thanks,
Aaron
