I tried the air propagator and I could not get any roots. I did get a lump to grow around it but would not root, I thought I followed the instructions properly,? I did about 8 different spots on different trees and bushes all of them did the same thing, that part was pretty consistent lol. I will try again in spring.
I can assure you that air propagation does work but there are a lot of variables that can affect the results and then the type of plant that you are trying to do also makes a difference. I would make the attempt in the spring, then leave it untouched but watered until fall. Remove them in the fall. I think if you wait until the tree is dormant before you remove the propagator your new plant will be under less stress.
Janice, make sure you are on my list here at https://mikesbackyardnursery.com/, in just a matter of days we will have the propagating balls for sale. Should be mid June 2014. I have them in stock now, just waiting to get the page set up.
I recently order some of the air propogators after seeing your video. You have a lot of great videos and very helpful. I was wondering tho can you air layer a tree that is more than one inch or not? Keep up the great work mike.
I have recently purchased the air propogator after seeing your video. My question is can you air layer trees or shrubs that are more then an inch? I also like all of your videos and you have inspired me to expand my lawn care & landscaping business growing my own trees and shrubs. Keep up the great work mike.
Mike, I ordered some of the airpropegators and I have sucessfully done one crape myrtle start., two more in process right now, but I tried to start one from a maple tree and it never did anything can they not be started or did I do something wrong?
I found the air propagating balls online!! Mike, feel free to delete this if you feel it is not appropriate. But I thought it would be useful for you and for your readers. http://www.airpropagator.com/buy_online.php
Hello Mike!
I am brandy new to the plant growing and propagating world. I really love the red japanese maples, and especially the lace leaf crimson queen…..I’m in the process of starting my 1st jap maples from seed!, learning the hard way, grow from seed? grown from cuttings etc etc…..excited about this and enjoying your home made propagating tips!!!!….
Susan, these I bought locally. One of my Backyard Growers often has them and super low prices for smaller plants and if you have my Backyard Growing System I’ve explained to you how you can connect with those other growers. http://freeplants.com/wanted.htm
I would like to find out where this might be purchased. I have some flowering ornamental plants that i would like to try this method.
Thanks for the source of information.
Great video Mike. A variety of materials can be used to accomplish this goal. You can use use plastic bags the same way as long as they are not clear. Plus it saves money.
The air propagation clamshells are amazing can’t wait to find out where you can get some. I have some plants I would love to try those on. Love the information you have here on your website. Keep up the good work 😀

Danny,
I wouldn’t try to air layer any branch that is more than 1/2″ in diameter. Maybe slightly larger, but not much.
