Brian, good job. I really like the RR cubes for air layering. Really simplifies the process. I also got the Q plugs Rafed posted about
and they make it even better using them with Rooter Pots.

I'm getting ready to do some airlayers with Root Riot for the first time. Just ordered them.

Brian,
Thanks for starting the Topic and posting the picture.
Is there a reason why you did not let more roots develop before cutting away the air layer?

Brian,
Thanks.
I was curious because with so much roots, It would not have taken long to fill a good sized container.
Was the air layer placed on the branch for only 10 days? per your opening post.

Looks like it worked good for you Brian. Where did you get the root riot cubes? Did you order them online or did fin them at a store?

I ordered mine from Amazon on Sunday July 14th. Order said they were in stock and would ship in four to five days. Price was $27.00 for 100 cubes. I hoped they'd be here by now but nothing. I haven't even received a shipping notice. The Clonex Gel, rooting tray with basin and tall humidity dome (both from different vendors) arrived on the 17th. Starting to worry a little.

Who has ordered these and received them quickly?

What vendor have you'll used.
