OHP Hormodin #2 Rooting Hormone is a powerful root inducing hormone for fast and consistent propagation of woody and semi woody plants. It is specifically made for plants like roses, boxwoods, and some evergreens. Homeodin #2 contains 0.3% IBA (Indole-3-butyric acid) rooting hormone which stimulates quick root development on cuttings making plant healthier.
How Does HormodinWork?
Hormodin #2 is effective because it contains IBA, a synthetic rooting hormone, which is a powdery substance that stimulates the root growth on plant cuttings. When the cutting is coated, the base takes in IBA as user dip in the powder, and root growth is encouraged. Since it is in powder form, easy to apply and will not dissipate on plant foliage or be washed away, it is the ideal choice for gardeners.
How to Use
Hormodin #2 is easy to use, with a low application rate. Here are steps to follow to put the rooting hormone on the plant cuttings:
- Take a healthy stem or vine cutting from the parent plant, making sure the cut is clean, and at an angle for easy rooting.
- Dampen the cut side of the cutting slightly with water. This causes the hormone powder to adhere to the cutting.
- Measure out a small quantity of Hormodin #2 into a clean container. Dip the cut laying-end of the cane into the powder, coating all around.
- Lightly tap the cutting to shake off any excess powder. This prevents over-application, which isn't necessary.
- Insert the prepared cutting into an appropriate rooting medium like soil or potting mix. Keep the cutting in warm, humid surroundings and make sure the cutting remains moist, allowing optimal conditions for rooting.
These simple steps help gardeners achieve the best success with cuttings, and have healthy roots and later, vigorous plants.
