It was encouraging to find the the instructions for this product comprehensive and easy to follow. The product is also easy to use. I am an absolute novice regarding gardening and I have never had much success taking cuttings. However, at the time of writing this review it looks as though my Hydrangea cuttings are rooting. I am hoping this Hormone Rooting Solution will be the only one I will ever use.

This is the best rooting hormone on the market. It is an alcohol solution that contains two of the most powerful rooting hormones: IBA and NAA. All other rooting hormones on the market, except the products from Hortus and Rhizopon, are less potent. Studies show that IBA is the most powerful of the rooting hormones, but having NAA mixed in has been shown to increase the rates of success and the quality of the roots. Similarly, studies show that mixing the hormones into alcohol helps them absorb more quickly into the plant cutting. Another benefit of the alcohol is that it disinfects the cutting, which prevents the cutting from being infected with fungus or bacteria that would otherwise rot the cutting. The disadvantage of the alcohol is that some cuttings from certain types of plants can be "burned" by the alcohol. This burning can be controlled by diluting the solution in water, and also by limiting the amount of time the cutting is dipped in the solution. Going back to preventing cuttings from rotting before they grow roots, I highly recommend using the Root Riot plugs instead of soil or anything else for sticking the cuttings into. The Root Riot plugs have natural anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties as well as a terrific spongey texture that is excellent for rooting cuttings.

Hope it works as good as the videos on YouTube
