Air Layering Plants
Plants in the greenhouse that are on the larger side, and that have more of a wood then green stem, often need help to grow properly in containers. Sometimes these woody-type plants can lose their leaves and look as if they are more dead than alive. To save these plants, we are going to encourage new roots to grow and to develop more leaves so the plant becomes fuller and healthy.Apr. 12, 2006
