Nice!
In my experience is a good practice to put a bigger container for a while before to cut the airlayer. It is not mandatory, but very convenient.
It worked fine with an elm click,click as well with a maple click, click
I took the idea from this article in bonsai tonight
Cheers

I attempted something similar this spring. I'm eager to check the roots next spring and see if it worked. If it didn't, I'll remove any bridging tissue, re-wound the callus tissue, and try it again. If it doesn't work after two years, I might have to try grafting to fix the nebari.

That is ok, but your missed an importat point: The prune by aeration.
If you put a collander o something like that, the roots stop growing when they reach the border, and ramificate afterward from the interior, creating a superior root ball: with more dense and thinner roots.
More space a more humidity, may create long and thick root, circling in the pot going nowhere.

Yes, I have many plants in colanders, and usually the results are really superior to regular pots.
But as Elms are good in creating roots, I will separate in three weeks anyway.
Thanks!

Well, I decided that it was time to chop the trunk to end up with two plants.
I have photographed the process, as follow:
The tree before the work.
The rock was there to hold the plant upright.
There were roots already coming out of the plastic pot.
Plenty of healthy roots inside the plastic pot.
The cut, done with a Japanese saw and rounded with a concave cutter.

Plant 01, before trimming it.

Plant 02, before trimming it.
After the trim.
I hope they get along fine, in the shade for 2 weeks.
