How to Use
- Use only on ornamental cuttings. Established plants and their roots are not affected.
- Use a sharp, sterilized knife or pruner to take 4- to 6-inch cuttings from soft stems or new, immature woody stems. Work during the active growing season for best results on most plant types.
- Keep cuttings protected and moist, and remove all but the top set of leaves.
- Pour a small amount of the rooting hormone into a shallow dish. Do not mix with water.
- Moisten the end of a cutting slightly, and then dip it into the dish, thoroughly covering the tip and at least one exposed leaf node. Tap to remove any excess.
- Insert cutting at a slight angle into a tray of rooting medium, such as a light potting mix, perlite, sand or a commercial rooting mix designed especially for cuttings.
- Discard any rooting hormone remaining in the shallow dish when finished. Do not return it to the original container or you risk contaminating the rest of the product.
- Place the rooting tray inside a plastic bag or cover it with plastic to form a mini-greenhouse, and then place in indirect light.
- Mist and water, as needed, to keep cuttings hydrated and rooting medium moist while roots grow.
- Transplant rooted cuttings once roots establish well and new growth appears.
- Read the product label and follow application instructions thoroughly.
