BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Houseplants rooting hormone

I had never used this before when trying to propogate new plants. My goldfish plant had stopped blooming and was getting long and stragly looking and so I decided to try this stuff. It worked great! I just wet the cuttings and dipped them in the rooting hormone and then put the cuttings back into the original pot. This was over a month ago. It looks so full and happy now! I didn't lose one cutting. This was so much faster than trying to root the cuttings in a glass of water, which I had tried before with my goldfish plant with no success. Connie

Connie, thanks for the positive information regarding rooting hormone. I haven't had the opportunity to use it myself, but have always wondered about it.

You are welcome...I had wondered about it too, but never really thought about purchasing any until my goldfish plant started looking so leggy. I had tried to root out one piece in a glass of water with no success and rooting out things takes so long. Connie

I wonder what makes it work so well? I've used it for years. I always lose the container between times and have to buy more.<G>
When I was at U of M and had friends in the Agriculture Dept., they turned me on to it.

At first I was nervous because of the warnings "don't spill on skin...immediately rinse". So I am always careful when I use it!
