Hello everyone,

In Canada we also have a similar product called Stim-Root, sold at most
garden stores.  It is also a powder and comes in three strengths as is the
case for Hormodin.  I use it for  my harder-to-root houseplants and always
get good results (no I haven't made comparisons among the various
commercial products that have been mentionned so far!).

I too would be curious to hear tricks and "recipes" about willow water from
those who use it.

Have a great day!

Denise
