It had been a long time since I did the airlayer of my papaya tree. This morning I tried again.
1. Choose a good brunch to cut and airlayer.
Steady the brunch with some string. This is to aid the plant to withstand wind.
2. Cut about 50% of the brunch, put a separating wood and some rooting compound. Separating wood prevents the healing of the brunch.

| Cut about 50% |
 |
| put a wooden separator |
3. Install a plastic container
4. Put some soil or other planting material
 |
| put soil and water it. |
5. Then water it and mark the date . Expected to root in 4 weeks.
6. Today 2 July 2021. There was a good sign, the roots start to appear. I have to wait, 2 more weeks to see that the number of roots should increase. If it does not increase, I may have to continue to plant it. Roots do not last forever. They will start to die off.
