With air layering, this is the hardest part in my opinion.

Finca La Isla:
The medium needs to be kept very wet when establishing layers in pots.

Too late, it's cut.  The roots do look sparse, I'm not sure if it'll survive.  I cut half the leaves off to try to balance it out, as you suggest.  It is now in a container in the greenhouse in half shade.

Think it has a chance to survive?

If not, it isn't a huge deal.  I expect the parent will survive the coming mid-30F lows and if so I have six months or so to try again.  And I have an Inga Spectabilis seedling growing meanwhile.

Finca La Isla:
I think it was cut too early but that it could grow. I’d keep it wet and warm. I’ve seen stuff like that work out.

brian:
Peter, do you think I should cut the leaves back severely?  I could even cut it back to that swelling bud just above the roots, if drying out is the main risk.
