Rooting Compound (1/2 Pound)

I took some cuttings in the fall and wanted to overwinter them. I have been using this Hormodin powder and the cuttings have been getting incredible roots on them. I got this rooting powder on a personal recommendation from someone else in a dahlia cutting group who said it worked great for her. I have to agree. Look at my dahlia cuttings in my photo. You can see the roots popping out of the root riot cubes they are in.As a side note, wear gloves when using this product and read the product warning labels.A must have for those rooting dahlias from cuttings!

This stuff works great in a fresh cut dip it then stick it on top of your petite and support your cacti with lava rocks

WOW!! for this price its a lot!!! I have tried many other brands, expenive to cheap but honestly they are all the same stuff!!! this defenatly cost effective! I will be the loyal cusomer

Keep in mind unless you are trying to propagate difficult-to-root varieties you will have success even without Hormodin or any other root inducer. With a root inducer you will speed up the natural process and increase your overall success rate.Hormodin 3 has the highest concentration of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) at 0.8% by weight. Hormodin 1 has .1%, Hormodin 2 has .3%, and Hormodin 3 has .8% and the container has a chart that recommends which version to use based on the plant variety. The choice of which IBA content is based off of the plants natural hormone concentration. I have used this in conjunction with sulfur powder ( probably 60% sulfur to 40% Hormodin 3) with great results with cacti. I have had great results by itself with cacti, succulents, and roses.Only downside in my opinion is you have no option to purchase a smaller amount since a half pound states "will treat at least 17,500 average cuttings". This isn't a deal breaker for me, but I have a feeling that whatever the shelf life is of IBA is will come and go prior to me having used it all.

Work good for what I need

This is scientifically noted as the plant auxin that is naturally produced by rooting portions of plants to stimulate the cells to transform from cambium and callus to roots. The major component is indole 3-butyric acid (IBA). It is better than IAA, Indole Acetic Acid and the concentration in this mix is a little stronger for hard to root species. When using this compound,, you should follow the guidelines from botanists on how to prepare the plant for rooting / propagation. Especially good for rhododendrons, and can also be used in light dilutions to soak cuttings (for 24-48 hrs) from plants or cuttings that have been heavily stressed from drying but still have life in them.Finally, this compound can also be applied in low doses to watering for newly planted young plants, giving them a rooting stimulation to help them get started. I guess I like this naturally occurring compound (IBA) because it really works and is scientifically proven after over 30 years of study by botanists around the world.

Excellent product!

I am using this for my fall, hardwood cuttings, which will remain dormant until spring. I also will try it out on hard to root cuttings for spring.As a professional grower with 30 years of experience, I will advise to research your crop. This hormone comes in 3 levels for a reason. Usage of each level depends on the crop, ease of root ability, and time of year.
