Product-specific directions

Prepare, plant and care for your cuttings

Prepare the cutting

Use clean shears to cut just below a node and remove lower leaves; moisten the base with clean water, dip in powder and tap off excess; plant in a suitable rooting medium and keep lightly moist, not waterlogged

Choose your rooting medium

Use treated cuttings with rockwool, coco coir, peat moss, soil or Hormex Rooting Cubes; choose a suitable propagation medium that supports the cutting while allowing moisture and airflow around the developing roots

Growing conditions and rooting time

Keep the rooting medium lightly moist, not waterlogged, with growing conditions suited to the variety. Rooting time varies with the plant, cutting maturity and propagation environment.
