Root Cutting Powder 30 gm for all Medium

Root Cutting Powder also known as rooting hormone, is a substance used in gardening and horticulture to encourage the formation of roots on plant cuttings. It contains plant hormones, particularly auxins, which stimulate root development. Rooting hormones can be especially beneficial when propagating plants from cuttings.

Here’s how to use root hormone powder:

1.Root Cutting Powder  Select Healthy Cuttings:

• Choose healthy plant cuttings from the parent plant. Cuttings are typically taken from the tips of branches and should have at least one leaf node.

2. Trim Cuttings:

• Trim the cuttings just below a leaf node using clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears. Remove any excess leaves from the lower part of the cutting.

3. Dip in Root Hormone Powder:

• Dip the cut end of the cutting into the rooting hormone powder, ensuring that it is well-coated. Shake off any excess powder.

4. Planting:

• Plant the treated cutting in a rooting medium, such as potting soil or a mix of perlite and vermiculite. Make a hole in the medium with a dibber or pencil and insert the cutting, gently pressing the soil around it.

5. Watering:

• Water the newly planted cutting thoroughly and place it in a location with indirect light. Maintain consistent moisture, but avoid overwatering.

6. Humidity and Warmth:

• Creating a humid environment can aid in rooting. You can cover the cuttings with a plastic dome or place them in a plastic bag. Ensure they receive warmth, as many plants root better in warmer conditions.

7. Monitor and Transplant:

• Keep an eye on the cuttings for signs of new growth and root development. Once roots are established, usually after a few weeks to a month, you can transplant the rooted cuttings into larger pots or directly into the garden.

Tips:

• Use a sterile container for the rooting hormone to prevent contamination.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding the concentration and application of the rooting hormone.
• Some plants root more readily than others, so success rates may vary depending on the species.
