You may have seen our videos on Air Layering (a technique used to propagate trees). In this video Padmapriya experiments with a technique called Ground Layering.
Hi Padmapriya!! Let's hope it roots!! I've made a Scots Pine that's wrapped around a big pine cone and it's started to root itself into the moss that I've stuffed in the gaps, was quite surprised it did it but layering pines seems definitely possible!!
Question off the subject. How is the price determined in selling a bonsai tree? Is there a specific formula? Just curious. Thank you. Might make a good video.
Just wonder if you cut the cambium of the whole perimeter of the trunk, wouldnt it increase the chances of having a nice radial root sistem? Or you just cut the botom part for a specific reason? Thanks a lot to both of you.
Easy to do. I ground layer hydrangeas. I grab a branch and pull it to the ground. I just place a rock on the branch where you want it to root in the ground. Using a container is better for your application. Steve it might root, I’m not sure of the pine species ability, if you can air layer I would guess you also can ground layer.
I have had success with ground layering Satsuki azaleas and Chinese frill shrubs (I think they are called), my work sight has them in landscaping and I air and ground layer them regularly. I just prep plant same as air layer then I have some stakes that are hooked, I take those and stake the branch into a small trench then cover back with soil. Takes slightly longer than air layering but the percentage of time it strikes is higher, actually can't recall one that hasn't right off.
Love ground layering as both ground and airlayering really IMO help us create some of the best bonsai tree bases of its field grown or nursery stock or collected
Thank you Padmapriya for reminding me of this method of propagation. We have loads of lilac potential experiments around here to practice with once the weather warms up a bit. Ever since I have learned of using "willow water" in place of the rooting hormone powder I haven't used anything else. I also use the mix when watering young seedlings.

Thank you for the demonstration. I am going to give it a try.

Nice job ground layering video. It does work. Glad you showed it in a nice little short tutorial.
I have seen this happen in nature amazing how nature works. Will be interesting to see the follow up in a few months. Thank you for sharing
Really enjoy all the video u make. This is an interesting concep. Will have to find a plant and try it
A great technique to propagate many different types of plants! Grape vines work well with this.
Good reference , thank you for the information.
Well you brought brush and everything but forgot to apply the rooting hormone, nice video though.
Great video but I'm struggling to hear what he's saying.

I love videos starring Padmapriya. Best regards and much love from germany <3
Where is Peter, Peter would be sure.

Ini namanya cara tanam "merunduk" . Dulu jaman sekolah dasar tahun 80 an sudah diajari menanam seperti ini. Nice 👍
It would also be necessary to add some hormons for better rooting
❤️❤️❤️❤️ from indonesia
👍👌👌🙂🙂
in indonesia we call it "merunduk"
Great video once again. I might give this a go with my ground cover juniper.

looking forward to see the continuation of this attempt. 🙂

He skipped the hormone power application 😢
Interesting , so if that works then in theory air layering should work also? I did not know that you could air layer a black pine 🤔
Interesting. Thanks.
