Air Layering

I had a go at air layering last year and have ended up with a not too bad acer. I'm a bit eager to have another go with something else.

 

I've had mixed results with those balls.
Managed to get a couple of pomegranate plants with them but on stuff that takes a bit longer to root I've found it not easy to keep the compost damp.

Slugs like to hide in them as well.

 

I filled mine with sphagnum moss and cling filmed them leaving an open top to water but it's given me lots of confidence to know it can be done but I think next time I'll just go with sphagnum moss and cling film.

 

Well done on your success !
I've been meaning to try this method for a long time but never 'taken the plunge' but I hope to try it now that I've seen your good results
