I've tried a few ways to air layer.  The one I find most success in is soaking the sphagnum moss in the water for about 30 mins, wound the spot about an inch, rub rooting hormone or honey on, use a plastic bag to wrap the sphagnum moss around it, make sure to squeeze as much water off as you can, use black electric tape to seal both top and bottom from letting water in, seal the vertical line of the plastic bag as you close it, then use foil paper to wrap it again one more time to tighten everything. 

Other things to keep in mind are the time of year (preferably summer with strong heat) and branch out in the sun instead of inside the canopy.  I've been able to do quava, plum, wax Jambu, lemon, orange, and cherimoya with this method.  I normally give it 3 months for the weather here in San Diego.  Good luck.

All sounds good, except one very minor detail: sphagnum moss only needs 5 minutes to soak up the water. Then you squeeze all the water out of the moss with your hands before applying. With lychee rooting hormone is not necessary.

Just posting  some pics of my rambutan trees and fruits...

Hi Dragon,

      The flower buds were formed around August. They bloomed in November, but the little fruits look like dead for nearly two months. After that they grew slowly til ripe. Good luck with your plant Dragon. I heard that seeding plants can fruit in two years.

Patrick had lots of jujube rootstocks (root suckers) the last time I saw his yard.

But if you buy a plant, you'll have lots of rootstocks popping up around your yard very soon.
Exotica and Ong are the places I can think of. I got some of mine from Roger Meyer(he's passed away).

I somehow have never had a jujube rootstock come up. Maybe my ground is too dense.
