Re: Liquid Rooting hormone versus powder

duncan, i work at a greenhouse, and we do a lot of cuttings. we have tried a
lot of different hormones.  i use dry rooting hormones for most of my
cuttings. i have tried dip n' grow (a liquid used straight from the bottle).
New guinea impations, coleus,  i don't use any hormone, they root well
without any.  i  also use rhizopon (tablets diluted in water and applied
with a sprayer). i use this for cuttings that have a tendancy to be a little
woody, like vari. vinca vine, euonymus, vinca (ground cover) because when we
do this type of cutting, we are doing hundreds of trays, and this goes
faster.  the powder seems to work best in my experience and opinion.  the
dip n' grow may root cuttings about 2-3 days quicker. but if you are doing a
lot of cuttings it is also slower. i need to mention we are doing annual
cuttings. verbena, licorice plant, bridal veil, bacopa,etc. i hope this
answers your question.    christain   :)
