Last Sunday afternoon, several of us met at a fellow Camellia Society member's garden and learned how to air layer camellias in order to create new plants.  With a knife, we scraped the bark of a healthy limb, painted it with root hormone, wrapped the area in wet sphagnum moss, then tied on plastic wrap, and finally wrapped in foil. It will take about three months to see if our attempts were successful.
