After performing the air layering technique, it is normal to get a bunch of roots to form. Then the question is, when is it time to separate the air layer from the main plant. And how do I pot up a rooted airlayer? Important questions, and not a lot of information can be found on the subject.
I have followed myself with a camera during the process and I show you the result: Three happy potted air layers, several weeks after separation from the main plant.
