Started this experiment on 11/14/15 with a Valley Black. It was slower than other air layers I've done but works. Both were watered with a sprayer twice daily as I watered everything else.
Re-potted one of them just a few minutes ago. Once getting started, taking pics was not a priority since I was in unknown territory. It had good roots and is now with a temporary bamboo splint to help it straighten up. maybe on the next one I can take more of the process since I'll be more comfortable with what to do.
Pretty much, it was cut from the mother, lower leaves trimmed, sand washed gently out of cup with sink sprayer and set right into a grow bag with a hole in the sand and then sand gently washed in around the roots with the sprayer.
The next to last photo of the root in side of cup was taken on 12/13/15.
