OHP Hormodin #1 1Lb (12/Cs) Rooting Hormone

Hormodin #1 Rooting Hormone Powder is a great product for helping plant cuttings grow roots. It has a low level (0.1%) of a plant hormone known as indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), which promotes the production of new roots. It is designed for general cutting and is most effective with softwood and herbaceous (soft-stemmed) plants.

Why Growers Use Hormodin #1

This product helps cuttings grow roots more successfully, which saves time and reduces plant loss. With Hormodin #1, growers see better results because the powder helps cuttings grow roots faster. This means plants can be moved to pots or the ground sooner, with fewer cuttings failing.

Helps Speed Up Root Growth

Hormodin #1 promotes faster, deeper rooting on all types of cuttings. After the cutting is dipped in the powder, the hormone in it tells cells to begin producing roots. For this reason, the cuttings develop roots more quickly and uniformly. This will give growers stronger plants and  a shorter waiting time.

Reduces Plant Loss

A lower percentage of cuttings die when they are demonstrated with Hormodin #1. Rooting is also a stressful process for plants; without strong roots, many cuttings don’t make it. Hormodin 1 makes the success easy because it helps roots to start fast, grow strong, and get a solid grip in any growing medium to avoid a cutting from drying out or rotting.

Keeps Plants Healthy

This powder form can help stop the spread of disease between plants. Cuttings are dipped into the powder without water, which makes harmful bacteria or fungi less likely to be transferred from one cutting to another. This helps prevent disease in the growing area.

How to Use Hormodin #1

Using Hormodin #1 is simple. The only thing the user must remember is “Dip–Tap–Stick.”

1. Snip a healthy stem just below a node (where the leaves grow). Carefully pull off any flowers or big leaves.
2. Dip the cut end of the cutting into the Hormodin #1 powder, making sure to coat the tip.
3. Lightly flick the cutting to remove excess powder.
4. Set the treated cutting into damp rooting soil or another beginning growing medium.

Plants that Work Best with Hormodin #1

Hormodin #1 is excellent for most soft-stemmed and green-stemmed plants.

• Carnations
• Poinsettias
• Softwood shrubs
• Most herbaceous plants

How Does Hormodin #1 Work?

The active ingredient in Hormodin #1 is a rooting hormone that is at its full strength.

IBA (Indole-3-Butyric Acid)

IBA is an artificial hormone that instructs plant cells to begin growing roots. Even though it’s not natural, it operates similarly to the hormones that plants create by themselves. The slight 0.1% concentration in Hormodin #1 is potent enough to support root growth and is light enough not to harm the plant.

Safe and Clean Propagation

Powder rooting hormones such as Hormodin #1 do a better job of preventing the spread of disease. Because there is no water for dipping, diseases don’t transfer from one cutting to the next. This can be good for growers who have many plants at a time. It keeps the plants and work area clean and dry to encourage sanitary trimming.
