Found some lair layering sites:

This site does say wet sphagnum moss or other soil:

Pahoa Feed doesn't have it...tried (sorry) Walmart...they just have the green moss...should've tried HD too while I was in town...gonna really have to watch the driving into town thing now...gas 3.27! I'll check it out saturday and do the market at the same time.
A friend also told me where there was another one of those yellow ohias I want.

I would like to have several red and yellow and bring them back to our property...our street used to be bursting with ohias before they ripped and rolled it.

The fellow who lived in our old house before us transplanted a red and yellow ohia in the front yard. They bloom at different times and seem to have different branching habits somewhat. The yellow ohia seems to have a greyer colored bark, too.
I did see a lovely orange ohia up in Honokaa and I may see if they would let me air layer that one. Not that I really need more trees in my yard, though!

Ooooo...orange ohia...I think I may have a progressive kine hobbie trying to find the different colors.

its nice to keep them trimmed into a shrub form, i've seen a few that have been done as wind screens.

I have a friend that gonna pull up a large chunk of her moss for me...then the air layering beings!

Richard, aloha! I think I may just go ahead and try the rooting method from a clipping as suggested in one of the publications before I try the air layering technique. I am grateful to you again for this info!
Love & Light,
Carrie
