I'm definitely in your camp when it comes to rooting, Lorraine, so I appreciate all the help I can get!

I'll look it up

The active ingredient is listed as 3-indole butryic acid (the rooting hormone) and the inert is listed as thiamine. It's essentially a compound that provides a nice continually moist environment to root soft wood cuttings for neglectful, unskilled gardeners like me. Go to the website for Charleys Greenhouse (www.charleysgreenhouse.com) on their propagation tab to see a full array of what's available from clear gel to a mix with rooting hormone, etc. I think you can do better with pricing if you shop around, but as I've written, my personal success rate greatly improved. However, I was a disaster before so I nowhere to go but up!
