Pot-layering, circumposition, air-layering and Chineselayering are terms applied to the rooting of rigid stems bymeans of surrounding them, while in their natural position,with earth or moss, or similar material. The stem iswounded—commonly girdled^and a divided pot or box isplaced about it and filled with earth (Fig. 34). The rootsstart from above the girdle, and when they have filled thepot the stem is severed, headed back, and planted. Pot-lay-ering is practiced almost exclusively in greenhouses, whereit is possible to keep the earth uniformly moist. But eventhere it is advisable to wrap the pot in moss to check AIR-LAYERING. 41.
