That's neat!
In my experience, you can also just cut them and put the cut end in a vase with water. It will grow roots, but they don't like going back in the dirt after living in pure water. Just another option
In between life, we garden.

I wanted to avoid water propping it because of the tough transition back to soil (and because it would be quite a long cutting, I was worried it might drop leaves). That's why I wanted to try air layering :)
It's got me interested in trying it! My pothos is really taking off after a recent transplant
I put the cuttings in my aquarium and forget about them until I feel like planting them. The roots grow like crazy in there.
Great job!
I’m curious & never heard of this - I can always google (oh wait, that sort of doesn’t work well anymore) but - why did you try this, if you wouldn’t mind telling a bit more about it?
