Interesting air layer method. Isn't it a pain to need to replace the water to keep it fresh, and from misquitos growing in the water?
I prefer the normal method with cocopeat/moss since you can forget about it until it's ready to cutoff the tree.

And i'm sure the peat moss wrap works better too. I think this method is good for those of us that are checking every one of our experiments every 12 hours. Has to be fun to watch grow. I think i usually end up leaving my wraps way too long, not knowing how many roots have grown.
