Brazilian Gardener Shares Simple Papaya Propagation Technique In a recent video posted online, Antônio Marcos Ferreira, a Brazilian gardener, demonstrated a straightforward method for propagating papaya plants using air layering. Filmed in his garden, the video shows the process from start to finish. "Está aqui o resultado da muda de mamão feita na Alporquia!" Ferreira exclaims in the video, translating to "Here is the result of the papaya cutting done by air layering!" The video clearly shows the healthy root system developed on the cutting before it is carefully removed and planted.
