arial roots
Is there a way to make a plant drop arial roots? I was told by a club member that you can scar a plant(this has to be a plant that drops roots) then use a straw ro force an arial root to form. Anyone hear any thing like this?

Certain trees throw aerial roots easily - banyan figs are common examples. It you read the Ficus (fig) books and articles you will see this method mentioned, usually with instructional photos.
