I decided yesterday to check on the air layer done earlier in the year on an Ivy. THIS is the previous post about it.
I’ve had to trim back the foliage a few times since the layer was added in May. This was it as I started yesterday.
On removing the black cover and cling film I was happy with the results.
I think this will make a rather nice little shohin. I potted it into a slightly larger pot than required. Nothing suitable on the shelf. Also potted at the wrong angle to ensure that the new roots are sufficiently covered. If the roots are coming out of the bottom in the Spring I might repot properly then. In the mean time it will go back in the poly tunnel to add a little time to the growing season to encourage more root.

Ian, Where did you actually make the cut. It looks like it was well below the actual part of the trunk that was rooted. If that is so i take it that the excess below the new roots will be removed at a later date.

Cut made at an angle to give it the widest possible base and set it up to made a nice semi cascade, Part of the top bit hasn’t rooted but isn’t really a problem with the projected potting angle. It was also rooting from branches that were touching the moss and these had to be removed. Clear as mud 😆
