Once the mixture cools, you can proceed to mix the two substances in the gel container. The mixture will increase in viscosity exponentially. This procedure will save you 98% of the money that you would spend buying rooting gel from the store. Aspirin When using rooting hormone powder all you need to do is dip your cuttings into water which will allow the powder to seal the cut area. Then you can pour some powder into a separate bowl or plate to avoid contamination.

In a separate container, pour a small amount of Clonex rooting gel and dip the cutting right after being separated from the plant. Next, dip the cutting into Clonex about 15 mm. Place the cutting into the propagation medium just deep enough to support the newly planted cutting. As soon as cuttings are inserted, they should be misted with tepid water and placed into a propagator. It comes in a gel that stays firm in the plug, replacing the need for hormone rooting powder and it is placed directly into the central cavity of the plug. The gel forms a seal around the cut surface of the cutting, aiding uptake and helping to prevent dehydration as well as infection. This gel contains no hormones and relies on a physical mode of action to work. Even though aspirin consists of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) which is chemically similar to salicylic acid (SA) naturally occurring in plants, aspirin is not a rooting hormone. There is no synthetic or natural auxin, a rooting hormone present in plants, in its composition. Willow tree tea for plant growth

To summarize, there are three types of available rooting hormone types in the market. Gel, powder and liquid. All of these do the exact same job for promoting the development of roots in plants and allows the plant to stand a higher chance of growing really well. Using a rooting gel has been one of the most convenient ways to clone a plant, compared to powder and liquid formulas. The cuttings need to go right into a small container filled with the gel and then into the growing medium. It is as simple as that. You can make this mixture any time. If you’re making willow tea in the spring, use only the stems from new growth. Does rooting hormone really work?

It is not recommended to use rooting powder in water when propagating plants because it is going to be diluted and won’t have any effect. When mixed with water it will go down the stem and wash off from the cut where it actually helps in root development. First, crush an aspirin tablet with a pill crusher. Make sure to crush it with enough pressure so that it breaks down into powder. You can also smash the tablet with a hammer and then mix it into the water. Next, dip the cuttings into the aspirin mixture to accelerate the rooting process. Make sure to submerge the cuttings in the aspirin solution for two to three hours before transferring to the next step.So, in this category gel rooting hormone has more active ingredient (0.31% IBA) and the product is water-based with the rest of it made of a full spectrum of mineral nutrients and trace elements to help plant in the early development. However, let’s keep in mind that Garden Safe brand is known for natural-based and botanically derived formulas. For most gardeners, cloning is the best way to keep valuable plants. It involves cuttings from an existing plant and encouraging root growth. This results in identical new plants genetically similar to the original. A good rooting hormone is essential to ensure the best possible rooting potential. To make Clonex rooting gel, follow these instructions. Apply the rooting hormone to the exposed stem end and pot the cuttings.
