with the layering system can I make all types of bonsai?

Dear Aldo,
in theory the layering is a propagation practice that works with any plant, in practice the one that changes, and also very significantly, the time it takes for a layering to root; the margots of wisteria, azalea, maple, for example, take a few weeks to root; the conifer layering, on the other hand, can take several months, even years. Therefore, it is mainly a question of patience and of wanting to cure a layering for months and months, hoping that it will take root, even when for months and months no root is seen. it is so simple to prepare them carefully, and discouraging failures are often encountered; it is enough to go on holiday in August, to return and find the earthen bread around the layering completely dry, with an evident waste of time, sometimes even conspicuous. In addition to this, while with sowing and cutting it is possible to easily prepare an excess of seeds and cuttings, hoping that at least some seedlings develop at their best; with the layering this is not possible, because each layering requires to be kept moist and fresh, and must be followed for a long time: if we prepared 10 different layering, every day we would have to dedicate our time to them, which is not always possible. a practice for real enthusiasts, because while many cuttings take a few weeks to root, the fastest and easiest cutting requires us at least a couple of months of attention. well chosen and successful, they are priceless, and motivate months and months of care without problems.This methods of propagation is practiced especially when you intend to obtain a pre-bonsai already very well formed, removing a particular branch from a shrub, with branches also at the bottom , for example, or which has particular distinctive characteristics, such as a twisting of the main stem, a conspicuous split, a particular bearing. In practice, through layering it may be possible to obtain a prebonsai that does not require incredible training pruning, because it already has many characteristics worthy of a finished bonsai. Therefore, a layering makes sense if we go to root a branch that is already quite developed, well deck or with interesting peculiar characteristics; if, on the other hand, we want to remove the stone of any branch of the neighbors pine or of a maple in the municipal park .. Well, then it makes more sense to take a tour of nurseries, or to dedicate oneself to sowing or cutting.
