air layering (alt. air-layering, syn. Chinese layering, syn. gootee, syn. marcotting) A method of propagation where a cut is made in a woody stem and surrounded by damp peat moss held in place by a wrap. When roots form, the stem can be removed and planted.

ground layering Another name for tip layering.

mound layering A method of propagation whereby a branch or stem is scored and then brought into contact with the soil to spur rooting.

natural layering The spontaneous rooting of stems when they make contact with the soil.

tip layering A propagative method similar to air layering, except a flexible branch such as blackberry, Rubus, is bent to the ground and buried in moist soil or a mixture of peat moss and sand, instead of being wrapped on the upright stem.

Notes:

• This is version: 2.1     Last updated: February 4, 2002.

• If you are looking up names of plants, check the HortiPlex plant database here at GardenWeb.

• Proper nouns are generally not included in the glossary.

• Searches are case insensitive.

• You can browse the glossary, but there are many pages.

• Multiple keywords can be searched so that each word must appear in each hit (boolean "and") or so that only one of the words must appear (boolean "or").

• To increase the chances of matching keywords with multiple endings, search for "Word Roots." With this setting, epiphyt will match both epiphyte and epiphytic.

• You can also limit your search to just terms or just definition.

• Additional Passes: If there are no hits in the first search, common word endings (-ing, -es, -ed, -ly) are stripped from the keywords and a second pass is made. If there is still no match, all non-word characters are stripped.

• This glossary was compiled by the editors of GardenWeb from a variety of sources. It is updated continually.

• If you encounter any problems, or feel that there are terms that should be in the database and are not, please let us know.
