Default Air Layering / Air rooting

I have been interested in the possibility of Air Layering Nepenthes, after all if they can be propagated by Stem cutting, why not Air layering? Plus you get (hopefully) a margin of error in which usually the cutting will either heal itself back to the main plant or root, so maybe, just maybe no deaths.

I found this link:

http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/e.../airlayer.html

Hoping to try this out soon myself.

I am not too sure though if it will work with very thin vined species, Gracilis, albomarginata for example, but maybe they still will, just delicate work in doing the cut.

TTFN
