How to Use the Homemade Rooting Hormone
There are two primary methods to apply this solution to your plant cuttings:
1. Soaking the Cuttings:
Take fresh cuttings from healthy plants (5–10 cm long, ideally with 2–3 nodes).
Remove lower leaves and dip the cut base in the rooting hormone solution.
Let them soak for 2–3 hours before planting them into soil, coco coir, or water.
2. Watering After Planting:
After inserting the cuttings into the growing medium, water them using the rooting solution instead of plain water.
Repeat this every 2–3 days to continue stimulating root growth.
You can combine both methods for stronger results.
Additional Tips for Successful Rooting
Use clean, sharp tools when taking cuttings to prevent infection.
Keep humidity high by covering cuttings with a plastic dome or bag, especially during the first few weeks.
Place in indirect light while roots develop; avoid direct sun.
Use well-draining soil or propagation mix like perlite, vermiculite, or a peat and sand blend.
