Airlayer From Big Bougie
i decided to airlayer my big pixie pink bougainvillea
http://forum.bonsaitalk.com/showthr...p?threadid=5692

this is 3 weeks after starting the layer.......very fast rooting

i used a product called dip-n-grow and sphagnum moss wrapped in aluminum foil

any suggestions on future development would be appreciated

I am not sure of the size of this, but you can usually treat bougy propogation with cuttings. I have seen large pink pixies rooted as cuttings several times before.
