Natural analogue of root. Growth stimulants for indoor plants

Hello, dear friends!

Pre-planting treatment of cuttings by special means to stimulate root formation is carried out with the aim of:

The appearance of roots on difficult-to-root plants;

Accelerates the formation and growth of roots;

Obtaining a more powerful root system from cuttings, promoting increased consumption of nutrients from the soil and rapid plant growth;

Increasing the concentration of organic matter in places where roots appear.

In addition to ready-made growth stimulants used for successful cuttings of trees and shrubs, for example, beta-indolylbutyric acid or, experienced gardeners Folk cuttings have been used for a long time and with success.

Natural root stimulants

1. Water from under the willow tree. Place willow branches in a container with water, wait for their roots to appear, and remove the twigs. The remaining water with the substances released during the germination of branches is an effective growth stimulator. A difficult-to-root cutting(s) is placed in it. The water cannot be changed; when it evaporates, it can only be added to the previous volume. Instead of willow, you can use branches of willow, common poplar or wild rosemary, the effect from them is the same.

2. Bee honey. For three liters of water room temperature take 2 teaspoons of natural honey, which is rich in a whole complex of mineral components necessary for the growth and development of plants. In addition, honey exhibits pronounced antimicrobial, antiseptic and immunomodulatory properties, which is very important during rooting. The cuttings are immersed in the solution overnight; the liquid level should reach 1/3 of their height.

3. Potato tubers. Select a large root crop, remove any existing eyes from it, make a longitudinal cut into which to insert the cutting. The tuber needs to be watered daily. In addition to starch and vitamins, the cuttings receive from potatoes a lot of valuable substances necessary for rooting.

4. Agave juice (aloe). Aloe is an effective growth stimulator, causing active cell division. The juice of the plant helps stimulate not only growth, but also protective functions plants. The cutting's immune system is enhanced, and the root system forms much faster. It is enough to add about 5 drops of freshly squeezed juice from aloe leaves to the water with the cuttings.

5. Another excellent natural root formation stimulator - baker's yeast. Before placing the cuttings in water for germination, they are soaked for 24 hours in a yeast solution rich in B vitamins and phytonutrients beneficial to the root system. 200 grams of fresh yeast are diluted in 2 liters of water, the cuttings are immersed in the liquid, after 24 hours they are washed and placed in fresh water in a container half filled. Yeast water can be poured onto the beds with garden crops or in a flower garden - this is an excellent organic fertilizer.

Data natural root stimulators have been tested many times, but it’s up to you to decide whether to use chemical growth stimulants or use folk wisdom. Good luck in planting and updating the garden and good harvests!

The ability to restore a part separated from a plant to a full-fledged organism is inherent in plants by nature. A wound (for example, breaking or cutting) stimulates the plant to produce hormones responsible for rooting. In some species and varieties this ability is very high, in others it is weakened. Special techniques that increase the root-forming ability of plants or chemicals help increase the chances of success.

What are some techniques to make rooting easier?

The rapid formation of roots is facilitated by various technical methods: ringing, etiolation, furrowing, cutting the bark near the buds by 2 mm, bending the branches.

Banding- this is removing a strip of bark 2-3 mm wide or constricting the selected shoot with soft, usually copper wire. As a result, the outflow of plastic substances is delayed, which contributes to better root formation on green cuttings. This
the technique is used on slightly lignified growth shoots current year 12-14 days before cutting.

Etiolation- tying the shoot with light-proof material - foil, paper or black non-woven material - approximately 2-3 weeks before cutting. This leads to a redistribution of plastic substances in the shoot and an increase in rooting ability.

Furrowing- applying shallow longitudinal cuts (furrows) on 1-2 lower internodes and nodes. The flow of growth substances to the wounds increases, and this facilitates the development of roots.

Rooting stimulants

The formation of roots is regulated by growth substances contained in plants - auxins, carbohydrates and nitrogenous substances. Under the influence of growth regulators, the percentage of rooting cuttings, the number of roots, and the quality of plants increase,
rooting time is reduced. Some difficult-to-root crops can only be rooted using stimulants. But root stimulants are not a panacea. In some plants their use does not give a positive result.

The most well-known drugs for stimulating the rooting process of plants:

Heteroauxin (indoleacetic acid (IAA))- use from 50 to 200 mg/l

Kornevin (indolylbutyric acid (IBA))- 1 g per 1 liter of water is enough

Preparations based on vitamin B.

How to use stimulants correctly?

Processing should be done in the dark, at a temperature of +18...+22 °C. The cuttings are immersed in the solution so that the leaves do not touch the liquid. It is important to maintain the concentration of the solution and exposure time very precisely; exceeding them can lead to toxic effects. Even “Kornevin” is better used in solution and kept for 16-20 hours, rather than dusting cuttings with it.

The most common drugs:

"Kornevin". Powder based on indolylbutyric acid for dusting cuttings.
"Maxiclon". Gel (indolylbutyric acid + vitamin) is applied to sections of cuttings. Very effective drug, must be stored in a cool place.
"Ukorenit". Powder from charcoal with indolylbutyric acid. Provides additional protection of cuttings from rotting due to the action of coal.
"Heteroauxin". Beta-indoleacetic acid tablets or powder are stored in a cool, dark place. The treatment is carried out by soaking the sections in a solution of the drug.
"Kornerost" (heteroauxin). Potassium salts of indolylacetic acid, soluble capsules. Method of use: soaking the ends of the cuttings in the solution for 10-16 hours.
"Krezacin." Triethanolammonium salt of orthocresoxyacetic acid, liquid in a dropper. Usage: soaking in solution for 10-12 hours.

Adaptogen drugs

A number of drugs indirectly increase the ability of plants to root by increasing overall sustainability to stress. They can be useful not only when rooting cuttings, but also when transplanting plants.

"Epin." Epibrassinocide, solution in ampoule or test tube. Method of use: soaking in solution for 24 hours. Preferably sharing with Kornevin.
"Ribav Extra". L-alanine + L-glutamic acid solution, use - soaking cuttings in the solution for 18 hours.
The manufacturer recommends combined use with Kornevin.
"Zircon". A mixture of hydroxycinnamic acids, solution in an ampoule or test tube - spraying on the leaves.

Reproduction fruit trees and shrubs from cuttings is not always easy. If currant cuttings take root quickly and independently, then getting a seedling from a gooseberry or serviceberry cutting is a real feat. In especially difficult cases, gardeners use root formation stimulants. These biologically active substances, harmless to the ecology of the garden, stimulate the formation and growth of roots in cuttings, improve the survival rate of seedlings and graftings. We will consider below which type of root formers is more rational.

Root formation stimulants are various substances and compounds of natural (phytohormones) or artificial origin that contribute to the accelerated formation and formation of the plant’s root system. They are intended mainly for plants propagated by cuttings, and for species such as serviceberry, gooseberry, and hawthorn, they are practically irreplaceable.

Not all gardeners are supporters of introducing industrial fertilizers into the soil and plants. chemical substances. On the one hand, such a policy is consistent with environmental understandings - there is no need to introduce “alien” objects into the soil. Moreover, there are a considerable number folk recipes plant root growth stimulants.

Folk remedies may not be as strong and effective as those of artificial (industrial) origin, but they absolutely do not harm the environment when correct use. They can be used for rooting cuttings and stimulating root growth in plants that have lost part of the root system during transplantation. Also, folk remedies can be used for soaking seeds, i.e. serve as growth activators.

Willow water

Willow water can compete with the most powerful root formation stimulants in its effectiveness. industrial production. The fact is that willow branches, as well as branches of pyramidal poplar, willow and wild rosemary, contain a large number of phytohormones auxins, which have a positive effect on the growth of the plant as a whole.

To prepare willow water, take a large number of freshly cut willow branches (usually about a hundred) and place them in a bucket of water. If necessary, add water. As soon as the branches take root, they are removed and the cuttings are placed in the same water. Also, the same water can be used to water transplanted plants.

The second option for preparing willow water is to pour a large amount of chopped twigs boiled water. Willow branches are cut 7-8 cm long, placed in a large container and the whole thing is filled with boiling water. Then the container is removed into dark place for 12 o'clock. After this, water is used for rooting cuttings, watering transplanted plants, and activating seed growth (seeds are placed in a cloth moistened with a solution of willow water and are not allowed to dry out).

Yeast

Regular baker's yeast is a good natural root former, reducing the time of root stimulation by almost two weeks. To prepare a root-forming solution, 100 g of yeast is dissolved in 1 liter of warm water until a homogeneous liquid is obtained.

It is important to maintain the ratio of 100 g per 1 liter of water.

Then the cuttings are completely soaked in the solution for a day, after which they are immediately planted in a greenhouse or washed and placed in a normal clean water. When planting plants in a greenhouse, it is allowed to water them with the same yeast water once a week.

Aloe juice

A natural stimulator of root growth is aloe juice, which further strengthens the “immunity” of seedlings and their resistance to various fungal infections. In addition, aloe juice has a detrimental effect on a large number of microorganisms, therefore, when cutting and treating with such a root former, there is no fear of the cut being damaged by bacteria or fungi.

To prepare the solution, take 3 tablespoons of aloe juice per 500 ml of water. The solution should be allowed to sit in a warm room in the dark for about a week. After this, the concentrate is dissolved in 10 liters of water, and cuttings and seedlings are placed in the resulting solution.

Honey

Natural flower honey is a storehouse of useful vitamins, micro- and macroelements. In particular, it contains phytohormones that have a positive effect on the growth and development of the root system. Cuttings and grape seedlings take root well in a solution of flower honey.

Honey is diluted in soft warm water - preferably melted or rainwater. Dilute 3 tablespoons of honey into 10 liters of water and mix well until completely dissolved. The grapes are immersed whole in the resulting solution for 2 days. Other seedlings are immersed in the solution, usually for 12-15 hours.

Potato

Potato tubers are often used for cuttings of such capricious flowers as roses, but such a root former is suitable for almost any type of cuttings. Potato tubers acquire their properties due to the accumulation of a large amount of nutrients, including starch, as well as sugars and phytohormones.

All the eyes of the tuber are completely removed, a deep cross-shaped incision is made into which the cutting is inserted. The resulting system is placed in a pre-prepared hole with a depth of at least 15 cm. The hole is filled first with sand and then with soil. The top of the cutting is covered with a glass jar to create a greenhouse effect. Roots begin to form within 2 weeks.

Root stimulants from the store shelf

Industrially produced stimulants can be either completely natural and contain phytohormones of biological origin, for example, indolyl-3-acetic and naphthylacetic acids, or contain their synthetic analogues. In addition, some preparations may contain vitamins and useful minerals, which generally have a positive effect on the health of cuttings and seedlings.

Industrial root formers differ in their mechanism of action as rooting stimulants and adaptogens. The former contain auxins, carbohydrates, and nitrogenous substances that stimulate growth and root formation. The latter increase the ability of cuttings to take root by increasing resistance to stress. Such preparations are more useful when replanting a plant than when directly rooting cuttings.

Proven high efficiency use of this kind of drugs. At the same time, you should not abuse these means; they are not a panacea and cannot restore an almost completely dead plant. When using them, it should be remembered that, in addition to stimulating the root system useful plants, the entry of root formers into the soil can promote the growth of weeds.

Important! No matter how good the root former and growth stimulator may be, it is important to be careful about the planting site, soil, and watering regime of the plant.

Unlike most natural stimulants, industrial ones are suitable for use in solutions for no more than a day, and are prepared immediately the day before planting. Cuttings treated with such substances should be immediately planted in greenhouse soil.

If the concentrations of working solutions, safety precautions and rules for the use of drugs are observed, they do not affect environment, have a good effect on the yield and taste of fruits, improve the growing season and flowering of ornamental crops.

Kornevin

The active ingredient is 4-(indol-3-yl) butyric acid, which is a structural synthetic analogue of natural auxin. Enhances survival rate when seedlings and cuttings are soaked, enhances growth processes when watering plants at the roots.

Used for rooting and cuttings of apple trees, pears, plums, gooseberries, currants, raspberries, lemons, grapes, jasmine, roses and others ornamental shrubs and trees. Used for irrigation bulbous plants(garlic, onions, tulips, gladioli) and vegetable crops.

In plants and soil, Kornevin gradually turns into heteroauxin, which ensures the duration of action of the drug. More stable in its dilutions, not dangerous if dosages are observed.

Important! The drug belongs to hazard class 3B, you should be careful when working with it!

Zircon

The active ingredient is α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid. It is used for treating seeds to increase their germination, soaking cuttings for rooting, and increases the resistance of plants to rot and fungal infections. Its use is more organic, not as a growth stimulator, but as a foliar feeding, in addition to natural fertilizers.

It acts in all directions of plant growth (root system, flowers, leaves, stem system). It shows itself more as a biomodulator than a root former. In order to form the root system, it is more advisable to use other drugs that are more effective in this area.

Important! The drug does not pollute the environment and is not dangerous for humans and animals.

Etamon

The drug acts as an adaptogen, improving the absorption of minerals by the plant. Available in the form of solutions of various concentrations. The maximum effect of the drug is achieved with foliar feeding, and just like zircon, it is more effective as a biomodulator than as a root former itself.

Heteroauxin (Kornerost)

The basis of the drug is β-indolylacetic acid, derived from cultures of certain molds. A very unstable drug that is easily susceptible to overdose. It is used for rooting cuttings, seedlings and bulbous plants.

The solution is used directly for watering the soil after planting seedlings and bulbs, as well as for soaking cuttings various types roses, decorative and berry crops. They are used to treat the scion and rootstock to speed up the survival rate of the graft.

Important! When using the drug, it is important to observe dosages and precautions, since Kornerost belongs to hazard class 3.

Pennant

Basically, the drug is aimed at stimulating plant growth in general, improving its transpiration and nutritional intensity. As such, it is not a root former; it is used as foliar feeding.

Epin

Refers to regulators of plant growth and development, but is not a direct stimulator of root system growth. Accelerates seed germination, reduces the level of stress in plants during picking, cuttings, exposure to unfavorable conditions, and increases resistance to infectious diseases. Used as foliar feeding and seed activator.

For better rooting cuttings are soaked in a solution at a concentration of 1 ml of the drug per 2 liters of water.

Super root

Direct stimulator of the formation and growth of the root system in fruit and berry and ornamental crops. Accelerates the formation of roots in cuttings and seedlings, has a beneficial effect on plants when they are transplanted, increases the survival rate when treating scion and rootstock with the drug.

Precautions when working with root stimulator

When working with growth and root formation stimulants, especially for industrial preparations, it is important to follow safety precautions and breeding rules. Overestimating or underestimating the concentration of the working solution can lead to plant burns or a lack of preparation and lack of effect.

It is important to use medications as directed. If the instructions do not indicate the possibility of soaking cuttings and seedlings in the working solution, you should not experiment. Any use of industrially produced active substances for other than their intended purpose can be detrimental for both plants and humans.

Ribav Extra is suitable for both open ground, and for greenhouses

When working with low-hazard substances (the hazard class is indicated on the packaging along with the rules for working with the substance), do not neglect the protection of the skin of the hands, mucous membranes of the eyes, mouth, and upper respiratory tract.

All medications should be kept away from children and animals to avoid accidental ingestion or inhalation of powders or capsules. Do not store prepared solutions of root formers for more than a day; in case of overdose, follow the instructions for use.

The use of natural or industrial root formers is always at the discretion of the gardener. Not all plants take root easily; some need additional use activators and stimulants. They are used not only for rooting plants, but also to speed up and increase productivity. The effectiveness of the drugs has been experimentally proven, as has the effectiveness folk remedies. It is important to correlate the direction of drug activity and understand what exactly needs to be achieved.

When spring comes every person who has personal plot or cottage, wants to plant a large number of new plants. Florists who grow flowers also strive to get beautiful buds and fruits. Biological stimulants help root small cuttings. They can be bought in specialized stores or made at home.

Features of the use of phytohormones

Phytohormones are substances produced by plants themselves. Their different groups are responsible for individual stages. For example, auxins help form root system, as well as evenly transfer useful and nutritious elements. There are also gibberellins, which are responsible for the health of buds and fruits. To ensure intensive shoot growth, the use of cytokinins is necessary.

Many people dreamed of taking part in leading these processes, but they did not have all the necessary skills and knowledge. But scientists have developed special phytohormones. Therefore, special stimulants can now be used.

After a thorough study of the structure, as well as all the features, scientists were able to develop substitutes based on synthetic substances. They are similarly divided into several groups according to the principles of their effect on plant organisms. These are the best stimulants for the development of plant roots, which will help speed up the process of flowering and fruit production.

Why are synthetic stimulants needed?

Fertilizers such as heteroauxin and phytohormone are becoming increasingly popular today. These drugs were developed a very long time ago, so now they are considered the best. After sowing the seeds, they must be carefully processed to ensure maximum a short time the plants have sprouted.

The seedlings tolerate transplantation into the ground well. open type. If you additionally use heteroauxin, the cuttings will root well in the ground. Plant fertilizers such as Kornevin and Etamon are in high demand. They are applied under the root part and help to grow faster.

How to improve productivity?
We are constantly receiving letters in which amateur gardeners are worried that due to the cold summer this year there will be a poor harvest of potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, and other vegetables. Last year we published TIPS on this matter. But unfortunately, many did not listen, but some still applied. Here is a report from our reader, we would like to recommend plant growth biostimulants that will help increase the yield by up to 50-70%.

Stimulants: application scheme

Experts have developed a separate scheme for using biological agents to accelerate plant growth during seedling cultivation. It is worth highlighting the following main stages:

The first thing you need to do is soak the seeds in a solution to get quick and friendly germination.
It is recommended to regularly spray with Epion.
After planting in the ground, it is necessary to spill a solution of heteroauxin to ensure rapid growth rhizomes.
"Etamon" is the best sprayer for plants, which accelerates rapid and abundant flowering.
Just before flowering, the plants are additionally treated with “Bud”.

How to quickly grow indoor flower seedlings?

Growth stimulants have maximum biological activity, therefore they are usually used in small concentrations. In this case, flower growers should take into account the attached instructions. To process cuttings, it is important to use only separate dishes. The best option- This is a glass, porcelain or enamel bowl. The processing process is carried out in darkened rooms with temperature conditions no more than 25 degrees Celsius. If you do not adhere to this rule, you can poison the cuttings.

Biological plant growth stimulants help to obtain healthy seedlings, but you need to take into account a few simple rules:

First thing is cutting required amount cuttings for planting.
The treatment procedure should take about ten hours in the prepared heteroauxin solution.
Planting in a greenhouse.
Several times a week it is necessary to spray with Zircon or Etamon solutions.

The presented preparations help to speed up the process of formation of an already formed plant several times.

How to properly prepare a root growth enhancer at home?

Preparations for growth at home are quite easy and simple to prepare. To do this, you need to use bee honey and combine it with aloe juice.

Honey is natural component, which has a beneficial effect on the growth and strengthening of plant roots. To prepare useful fertilizer, you need to take half a teaspoon of honey and dilute it with two glasses of water. After complete dissolution, you can begin to use.

For efficient processing cuttings must be soaked for five hours. After this, the bulbs are ready for planting. Aloe-based preparations are also highly nutritious and very beneficial. Before cooking, you need to squeeze the juice from the leaves. A tablespoon of juice is thoroughly mixed with a glass of water. After this, it must be removed to a cool, dark place and tightly closed with a lid.

A week later, the solution is diluted with boiled water to obtain a preparation with a capacity of about five liters. After this, gardeners will be able to begin processing plants and cuttings in particular. The duration of soaking is no more than six hours. After washing, you can begin planting them in open ground.

Features of the use of fertilizers that are sold in stores

On modern market can be found great amount drugs that promise to speed up and strengthen cuttings. A dry fertilizer called Agricola is becoming increasingly popular today. It retains its properties for a long time beneficial features thanks to the release form. Before use, it must be diluted in water according to the attached instructions.

Before use, the soil is thoroughly watered.
You should not feed plants that have recently been transplanted from one place to another.
It is not recommended to fertilize flowers that are in a state of complete dormancy.
When the plant grows intensively, less fertilizer is used.
Experts advise applying small amounts of fertilizer to avoid overdose.
There is also no need to frequently change manufacturers and types of fertilizers.

Root formation of cuttings will increase during processing lower parts before the landing procedure itself. Ready mix goes well with vitamins C or B1. They help accelerate the growth of new shoots in cuttings. Flower growers will be able to see positive results in a short period of time.

Before preparing an aqueous or alcoholic solution for growth, it is necessary to add vitamins. Many people have already been able to appreciate all the benefits of such biological fertilizers, which help people quickly get healthy fruits.

How to speed up the process of growing plants: succinic acid

And a little about the author’s secrets

Have you ever experienced unbearable joint pain? And you know firsthand what it is:

inability to move easily and comfortably;
discomfort when going up and down stairs;
unpleasant crunching, clicking not of your own accord;
pain during or after exercise;
inflammation in the joints and swelling;
causeless and sometimes unbearable aching pain in the joints...

Many shrubs, herbaceous perennials and some trees reproduce. In order for roots to form on them faster, special root-forming stimulants are used.

. Most of them contain phytohormones that speed up metabolism near the cut site. As a result of their activity, a large amount of nutrients is sent there.

Rooting phytohormones help phytohormones, which are found in every plant, to form callus and roots faster. This is especially evident on cuttings coniferous plants, fruit trees.

It is advisable to use root formers for cuttings in the following cases:

For better rooting perennial crops(herbaceous and trees).
To eliminate the effects of stressful situations.
To save dying plants. This method is used in exceptional cases.

Root formers cannot be used systematically. After all, this is a very powerful remedy.

The most popular drugs

Among industrial root formers for cuttings, the most popular are:

“Heteroauxin” – powder white, which contains phytohormones of the auxin group (beta-indolylacetic acid). Sold as potassium salt in powder or tablet form. To reduce the likelihood of counterfeiting, it is better to buy tablets. They, like the powder, are quite difficult to dissolve completely. To do this, place the tablet in a gauze bag, a filter from a dropper and lower it into soft water. Dissolve the tablet in 0.5 liters of water. This amount is enough to process 50 cuttings. You cannot pollinate plants with this drug. You can dip the cuttings into the powder for a couple of seconds or soak them in the solution. The drug works better in the dark. Therefore cuttings herbaceous plants soak overnight for up to 16 hours, lignified ones - up to 20 hours. The dosage for each plant should be found in the instructions. But the amount of the drug whose shelf life has exceeded 2.5 years is doubled. The prepared solution can be stored for 2 days.
“Heteroauxin” belongs to hazard class 3. A tablet of “Heteroauxin” or “Kornerosta” is dissolved in 5 liters of soft water. Cuttings are cut, if possible, immediately before processing. Green ones are soaked for 10...16 hours, woody ones - from 16 hours to a day. Immediately after processing, the cuttings are planted in the ground. The root former not only stimulates the rooting of cuttings. After treatment with the drug, flowers and seedlings take root better.
"Kornevin" has something else active substance, indolylbutyric acid. This is powder beige colour. The ends of the cuttings are dipped into it immediately before planting. You should not take more of the drug; you need to shake it off the cutting. Excess of "Kornevin" can lead to the death of the plant. To protect the cuttings from too strong exposure to the biostimulant, you can mix it in equal parts with crushed activated carbon. Indolylbutyric acid irritates surface tissues and promotes callus formation. Once in the soil, it is converted into heteroauxin. If you add ascorbic acid or vitamin B1 to the preparation, the shoots that then form will also grow faster. To soak the bulbs, use the “Kornevin” solution. You can also immerse the tips of the cuttings there. But more often powder is used for this. "Kornevin" belongs to drugs of hazard class 3. You need to work with it with gloves and do not use food utensils. If the drug enters the body, take activated charcoal and drink plenty of water. You can drink a weak solution of manganese and induce vomiting. Store "Kornevin" in glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. When purchasing products, carefully look at the date of manufacture and expiration date. After all, it is usually used infrequently, so there should be some time left for storage.
"Epin" is used for rapid rooting of cuttings, protection from frost, drought, disease and other stresses. Dissolve 0.5 ml of the drug in a liter of water. The cuttings are soaked in the solution before planting.
"Zircon" is a multifunctional complex drugs. It accelerates the process of root formation, enhances flowering, helps cope with fungal and viral diseases, adapt to natural conditions. A remedy is prepared from Echinacea purpurea. Dissolve 1 ampoule in a liter of water. Use for soaking for 14 hours. The drug is compatible with Heteroauxin.
"" is created on the basis of ginseng. The effectiveness of the drug reaches 100%. 1 ml of the drug is enough to prepare 10 liters of aqueous solution. Promotes rapid acclimatization of transplanted plants and wound healing.

It is not always possible to find an industrially produced root former at hand. But it can be successfully replaced using substances that are in the house:

Aloe juice stimulates the plant's immune system and promotes rapid root formation and growth. Use 30 ml of juice per 1 liter of water.
Honey is an excellent immunostimulant. A teaspoon of honey is dissolved in 1.5 liters of water. The cutting, immersed to a third of its length, is kept for 12 hours.
(100 g) dissolve in 1 liter of water, immerse the cuttings for a day. Before planting, rinse and place in a jar with clean water For .
Willow and willow, germinating in a jar of water, create conditions for the rapid formation of roots. After the sprouted willow branches are removed from the water, cuttings of other plants are placed in it. Keep them until roots form.
Rooting cuttings into potato tubers is becoming increasingly popular. This is very convenient way, which can also be used for rooting cuttings of other plants. You just need to cut out all the eyes of the potato so that it does not sprout, dig it in the ground, cover it with a jar and water it periodically.

Despite the fact that each drug has its own characteristics of use, there are general rules:

The root former solution is prepared immediately before use.
Cuttings are processed immediately after cutting. It's better to take them from young tree, giving preference to the lower ones, located at the beginning of the branch.
The temperature indoors or outdoors where the procedure is performed should be within 20-23°C.
To soak the cuttings, use glass, enamel or porcelain dishes. Do not use metal.
The amount of water in the dish should be small so that it is all saturated with oxygen. Do not forget that roots are formed on the border between water and air. Therefore, you cannot pour a lot of water.
The water is not changed during germination. If there is very little left, add fresh. If you pour old water and pour a new one, the formation of roots may stop and the plant may die.
Green cuttings are immersed by a third, lignified ones - by half or two-thirds.
