The effect and usage of rapid rooting powder. How to use it correctly for better results

The role of rooting powder

When cutting leaves or branches, rooting powder can be applied to the petiole and the cut at the bottom of the branch to promote rooting and prevent wound rot .

When the plant is first repotted, we want the plant to adapt to the new pot more quickly. We can also pour some rooting solution into the potting soil to make the plant sprout new roots faster and better adapt to the new environment.

How to use rooting powder

Soaking method

The method of soaking rooting powder is to dilute the rooting powder with a large amount of clean water to make it a liquid with a relatively low volume. Then put some branches that need to be cut or damaged plants after root pruning into the rooting water.

Then soak it for about 2 hours and then you can take it out. The soaking time should not exceed 12 hours. This method is suitable for flowers and cuttings that are not seriously damaged .

Quick Dip

As the name suggests, the quick dipping method is used for those flower seedlings and cuttings that are more vigorous and in large quantities.

When using it, just dilute the rooting powder and water, then dip the roots of the plants in the solution, and then take them out to plant . This method can save costs and allow the rooting water to be reused!

Spraying

The spraying method is to add rooting water into a spray bottle and spray the plants in need . Because this method has a wide radiation area, it is usually used on a large number of seedlings to promote their rooting. Or for some plants with a slow rooting speed, it is necessary to spray rooting water multiple times to promote rooting.

Root irrigation method

The root irrigation method is simpler and more brutal than the spraying method. This method is mainly used for plants with larger bodies . For example, large green plants that have just been planted in the soil. Soaking is troublesome, and spraying is not very effective, so you can only use root irrigation.

However, due to soil seepage and obstruction, multiple root irrigations may be required to achieve a satisfactory rooting effect.

Smear method

The application method is relatively simple to operate. The rooting powder that is not diluted with water has a relatively high concentration.

For some flower plants with obvious lignification, such as rose cuttings and bougainvillea, it is necessary to apply rooting powder to the lower incision of the cuttings , so as to more effectively stimulate the rooting of the cuttings .
