Yes I cut the center out of the base to slip around the limb first.  It is labeled as a .3 gallon sized airpot, not sure about the metric size, it has a black base, I know most of the base are color coordinated for their size...yellow, orange, green and what not.

Thanks.


I soaked the moss in water and clones solution, it was like a teaspoon to a cup of water, attache the pot, stuffed it with the moss, then wrapped it in GLAD Press n Seal and duck taped the top and bottom, and finally wrapped in aluminum foil.  If you see the pictures of the roots, you see the brown spots, that is where they came out of the airpots and hit the press n, seal plastic.  Every few days I would press on the aluminum foil to break any roots that might have made it out of the holes, I saw a video on youtube mentioning  air layer with the airpots and that is how they explained to do the root pruning without air contact.

Is there a fabric type container that can zip up. Just place, fill, add moisture and zip.

This a Charlie project, I would buy them for air layering.
