Garden Safe Take Root Rooting Hormone, Promotes Rooting, Grow New Plants From Cuttings, 2 Ounce

Product Information

The powder formulation contains growth hormones and encourages rooting for a higher success rate when it comes to producing your own plants. For best results, first stand soft stem cuttings in water for 1/2 hour (overnight for hard wood cuttings).

Make sure the planting hole is wide enough so that the rooting hormone is not rubbed off as you sink the cutting into the soil. The water will simply wash away the hormone rendering it useless, and the substance will muck up the water. Depending on the leaf structure, apply the rooting hormone to the part of the leaf that was closest to the center of the plant and cover it with a soilless potting mix.The rooting powder is a bio-simulator – which provides the natural auxins found in a cutting naturally - to encourage a consistent uniform of roots around the base of the cutting.

Fall is the best time of year to take root cuttings so that the root cutting has the entire winter to produce a new plant in time for spring.In some cases, it is necessary to cover the backside of the leaves with the rooting hormone, lay them on top of the moist soilless mix, and lightly press down until the leaf touches the potting medium.
