Guadua angustifolia Kunth. tree is a potential resource as structural and ornamental building material due to its high mechanical strength. The air layering of side branches of G. angustifolia using dry Sphagnum khasinum moss as substrate has initiated early ischolar_maining in rainy season compared to winter season as well as control conditions.
