It Works!
Okay People,
I think I have read enough about complaints in this thread about this rooting powder. One thing, if you know nothing about rooting plant cuttings, more than likely you are going to fail with this product or any other rooting product out there! No matter which hormone you use, there are so many factors involved in rooting a cutting, you just about have to have all of them in your favor at the time...
I am not being paid, nor asked to write this from the company, I just get tired of people leaving bad ratings on a product that does work, the person just don't know how to use it for its intended purpose. Rooting Hormone is NOT a magic pill so to speak. It does however, ENCOURAGE the formation of roots and it helps protect the cutting from rotting before it does root. You say that you followed the directions to a T? Well good... That is a big step in the right direction! Many factors are involved such as the type of plant, if it's cuttings off that plant will root or if it will take more time than usual on the average plant to root, the rooting media, the misting it might need, and/or the type of light it needs are huge factors!
Personally, I have been reproducing plants for years and at times, I might hit 100% on them or as low as 10% if I did something wrong for that particular plant. Again, Rooting Hormone, whether it is a powder, gel, or liquid IS NOT A MAGIC PILL!! And yes, it is all pretty much the same whether you pay $1 or $300 for it... Here, you are getting the same thing at a very low price compared to the others...
Take my advice and purchase this product because it is a low price and yes, IT DOES WORK!! If it is not the right strength of hormone for the correct time of year or for the right type of plant, your chances of having a successful rooting with your cuttings will almost be pointless...
