5very good productAug 18, 2010
By buru buru piggu
Not mentioned in the Amazon description (but shown in the photo) is that this product contains 0.1% IBA (indole-3-butyric acid), a synthetic plant hormone. Powdered rooting hormone is usually available in 3 formulations: 0.1%, 0.3%, and 0.8% IBA. The lowest concentration is used for "soft" cuttings, like African violets, plumerias, mums, carnations though some harder wood plants can also use this. Woodier cuttings need hormone at the 0.8% concentration. You can Google "Hormodin product label" for a PDF of what plants should use which formulation. The 0.1% concentration is safe to use on all cuttings while stronger concentrations can damage or even kill more sensitive plants.

I use this product mostly for roses and plumerias as a disinfectant. I'm not sure of its exact role in the promotion of roots (rooting results can vary greatly based on a number of conditions, including weather, cutting health, plant variety, or just pure luck), but one benefit I am sure about is the anti-fungal properties of the powder. I am obsessed with plumerias and have ordered at least 2 dozen cuttings off eBay this year. Using this prevented my plumeria cuttings from rotting. The cuttings I did not treat with powder started to rot from the bottom up. With periodic checking I saved my cuttings by cutting off the rotted part and treating with Green Light.

To use, all you have to do is wet the cutting in water so that the powder sticks to it, then dip the cutting into the bottle. Tap off any excess powder, make a hole and gently firm up the rooting medium around the cutting. I've use Miracle-Gro Perlite (alone or mixed with 30-50% soil) with fantastic results. The perlite holds moisture and provides air pockets, creating perfect conditions for rooting of many types of cuttings, resulting in much faster rooting than planting in straight soil. I've use this method for epiphyllum, goji berry, portulaca, and sometimes for coleus (which roots easily in water).

This product has helped in the rooting process of most everything I have tried it on...most impressive was on a branch I cut from a neighbors rose bush that was near death. I would recommend..

5Successfully rooted. . . . .Jan 05, 2011
By NikkiNew
I read several reviews from other products and felt this one would best work for me. I inadvertently broke a large portion of my prayer plant off. The break had several new growths and I didn't want to loose it. I ordered this product (I received it within two days) and hoped it would take root.

I followed the instructions and to my pleasant surprise. . . . the stem took root. I have kept it moist and love the results I am getting.
