A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Plant Propagation Propagating Kaffir Lime

I really not good at grafting but I really want my own Kaffir Lime.
My neighbor has a Kaffir Lime tree. I want to get it graft but I don't know how.
If I get to do grafting on the tree. How do I get it after grafting and how long would I have to leave it there on the original tree?
I hope someone understand what my question is? My english grammar is poor but hope someone can help.
Thank you for looking into my questionaire.

How about propagation by air layering?

Aww thank you so much. I don't really know about this but really appreciate your help heaps. =)
Will give it a try but first I will ask my neighbor permission first. =)
You the best.

Hi April07...

aahh u still havent got your Kaffir Lime...emm if da seeds i sent hadnt been cofiscated u could have a grown seedling by now....well i tried.... BTW i cant see what harm some Kaffir Lime n some Limau Kasturi seeds would do that they have to confiscate 'em!?

Glad to see u here again...have a nice day!

I didn't get to plant your seed.
They asked for AUD42 to allow me to have those seed back. If I can pay for AUD42, I would have a big plant of Kaffir Lime for AUD20 and it is a grafted one. =)
I noticed my neighbor got it and it is a big one. Maybe I ask him if he allow me to air layering it.

How have you been there?
Yeah pity I couldn't get the limau kasturi. I like it with sambal chilies. =)
