I love your content and sustainable ethos. Do you have an update on the silver sword propagation? I have a silver queen I picked up from the bargain shelf which is outgrowing it’s support and would really like to try air layering it
Thank you so much, that’s lovely to hear! This was a very long time ago, but it did successfully root air layering it this way 🤍 Plant is much bigger now! Definitely give it a go I think
I’ve got a lot of tiny jars for propagating my house plant cuttings,and flower vases.I like to witness the roots growing in clear jars,it’s very satisfying. I would have made 3 cuttings of that piece you cut.This coming spring I want to try to air layer my Japanese maple. It has gotten huge and it has 5 main trunks so it’s going places I need to cut it but I don’t want to kill it. I can’t wait until winter is over so I can try😀
Me too - I love watching the roots grow in water! This is my first time trying this method but water is definitely my go-to method. I’ve heard it works great on ‘woody’ plants like maples as well - I’m sure it will be great! ☺️
Thanks for stopping by Carmela! 🌱 I meant mostly to do with soaring plant prices & plants being stolen from botanical gardens etc. Kaylee Ellen recently had a good video explaining it all if you want to check it out further!
Hey! So, a question about the spaghnum moss thing. You are using soil, but isn’t there fermented spaghnum moss in there too? And isn’t that the thing that isn’t sustainable?
Hello! Great question ✨ It depends on what soil you are using of course. I use a mix with coconut coir and worm castings - which are more sustainable options that don’t have spaghnum moss in them. Coconut coir is generally from waste from the coconut industry, and worm castings are renewable worm poop! It’s more about the fact that spaghnum moss is not a renewable resource
I’m aware of the difference between peat and spaghnum. In my experience it is very difficult to ensure that the spaghnum moss you are buying isn’t harvested unsustainably from bog habitats in the wild. It can be farmed and so is ‘renewable’, but it is very difficult to prove that it is farmed sustainably imo. So I stay away from it!
@@amyadwan Hm, I understand what you mean. On a packet I bought it says from a renewable source, but maybe I have to check better. Thanks for the info :)
It may still indeed be from a renewable resource but worth a check - no harm sending an email to get more info 🙂 no problem at all - a worthwhile discussion! 🌱
Hello! Ah thanks so much 🌱 Will check out your channel & nice to meet you too 😍 Hope you get to pick one up, they’re super easy to care for and really beautiful!
This is so cool!! I wonder if this would work with rhaphidophora tetrasperma because I have a heckuva time getting those to root in water. What are your thoughts? Great video!
I don’t see why it wouldn’t work! Definitely worth a try. I haven’t done it myself on a tetrasperma though - I’ve always found they root easily for me in water 🥺 🤞🏼
So nice that you made an intro and the after in one vid blog.. I dobt have to wait for the result of the air laying..
Glad that was useful for you! 😍
Your caladium looks beautiful!🌿💚
Thank you! 🌱🤍✨

Hi, just found you! Excited to see your content.
Hi Kristin, welcome! And thank you, hope you enjoy ✨🍃
You have explained very well how to do air layering ! We liked your video very much.👍
Thank you very much & glad you enjoyed! ✨

Amy I really love all your plants.
Ah thank you! Me too! 😍😂🌱
Hi Amy, great video! Can you explain further about what negative things that are going on in the plant community? I haven't heard.

I love that plant I have a subhastatum philodendron but that silver sword is the bomb.
Ah that is a lovely plant too! I absolutely love the silver sword as well 🥰
Nice work! thanks for sharing! 😻
Ah thank you for stopping by! 🌱😍

@@amyadwan Spaghnum moss itself is renewable, but peat (which is fermented spaghnum moss) not since it takes thousands of years for it to become peat.

Hey!! New subscriber and fellow plant youtuber 👋🏻
Nice to meet you 😊
The silver sword is one of my wishlist plants 😍😍
Hello! Ah thanks so much 🌱 Will check out your channel & nice to meet you too 😍 Hope you get to pick one up, they’re super easy to care for and really beautiful!
@@amyadwan I've never seen one around here, would probably be ridiculously overpriced, but a girl can dream haha
@@jaclynns.jungle Ah such a pity! Don't worry... the prices will come down in time and you'll get to have one 😍 That's kind of what I go by haha
This is so cool!! I wonder if this would work with rhaphidophora tetrasperma because I have a heckuva time getting those to root in water. What are your thoughts? Great video!

Is it OK with walnut tree. I mean can we produce plant by air layering in walnut tree the huge ones?
I’ve never tried it with a walnut tree! So I can’t fully say - but I do think it works with woody stemmed plants 🙏🏼

Cool 😎
Thank you!!
this was cool also i can see it in front of me :D
