Organic Rooting Hormone




While commercial rooting hormones may be more practical for obvious reasons, their organic homemade counterpart is certainly healthier and less expensive. You may obtain an efficient  organic rooting hormone by soaking the yellow-tipped shoots of a weeping willow tree in water or by making a tea from the willow bark. Make sure you will use the mixture after a 24-hour period. Another way of getting rooting hormone is by using honey dilluted in some water.
You may use the organic rooting hormone to propagate any plant with leaves such as African Violet, Geranium, and others that can be propagated with leaf cuttings.
 Your gardening experience will be far more rewarding if you pay special attention to and care for the environment.

  1. I loved it! Honey as plant propagator sounds like a great idea, and very environmentally friendly.
