About to prop my fuzzy petiole. I’m thinking about air layering. Any tips?

Air layering is an excellent way to propagate philodendrons with. Make a small cut below the node and wrap the node above with a substrate and some plastic wrap or foil. It can be difficult to keep the substrate moist though so check regularly and most if needed. Otherwise you can take ordinary cuttings on Philodendrons too ☺️🌿
