Air layering is a method which was originated by the Chinese several centuries ago. Basically it is a method of producing plants from aerial branches which remained attached with parent plant while rooting. Some plants which are difficult to root, air layering has been proven as an effective method in a wide range of species as a means of increasing their kind. The moist medium for rooting is usually placed around the wounded area of the branch. It is held in position by placing a wrapping around the periphery of the ball of the medium. After the roots have grown to the outside of the ball of medium, the branch is removed and planted in a pot on its own roots. The growth, establishment and survival of branches and seedlings also depend on the quality of a growing medium. There are many commercial growing media used to raise seedlings and branches, but many are expensive and locally unavailable. There is a need to establish appropriate and low cost growing media to ensure that the tree seedlings could attain a suitable size for layering within a year. Amending growing media with fertilizer can promote seedling and branching growth, establishment and survival
