Dip 'N Grow Liquid Rooting Hormone, 2 Ounce

Works great very happy with my purchase trying to plant orchard and fruit trees are to expensive

I like this product, because It makes It very easy when you take cuttings to start plants of any kind. Follow the directions for the best results! I've been using this product for many, many years. I've done experiments with this product and have actually gotten Leafs from plants to root! Give it a try and you'll be very impressed. it puts off more roots than any other product that I've used over the years. A little bit goes a long ways, so it's a great value for your money.!

As a horticulture student I'd heard so many great things about rooting cuttings with IBA-3 (which is the active ingredient in this product) so I decided to try it for myself. I did have really good results, and nearly all of my plants rooted. I will say, this isn't like your typical rooting hormone. To use, you dilute the solution with water to the specified level on the little plastic cup provided and dip the ends of the cuttings. What's left of the solution needs to be used within 10-12 hours, then disposed of properly. The instructions didn't provide much information on how to dispose of it, however, which is why I gave 3 stars for ease of use. It is water soluble and degrades in light, so i further diluted it and used the water on my outdoor plants. I still don't know if this is the "correct" way to dispose of it and will not use it again until I can contact the company to make sure. It's also not very cost-effective if you only have a few cuttings to do, since any solution you mix has to be used right away and can't be saved. It's also really important to read the directions carefully and use this product in a well ventilated space with proper PPE to keep it from getting on your skin. I used gloves and wore long sleeves. With all that being said, this is a great product for propagating difficult to root plants as long as it's used correctly.

This is the best rooting hormone on the market. It is an alcohol solution that contains two of the most powerful rooting hormones: IBA and NAA. All other rooting hormones on the market, except the products from Hortus and Rhizopon, are less potent. Studies show that IBA is the most powerful of the rooting hormones, but having NAA mixed in has been shown to increase the rates of success and the quality of the roots. Similarly, studies show that mixing the hormones into alcohol helps them absorb more quickly into the plant cutting. Another benefit of the alcohol is that it disinfects the cutting, which prevents the cutting from being infected with fungus or bacteria that would otherwise rot the cutting. The disadvantage of the alcohol is that some cuttings from certain types of plants can be "burned" by the alcohol. This burning can be controlled by diluting the solution in water, and also by limiting the amount of time the cutting is dipped in the solution. Going back to preventing cuttings from rotting before they grow roots, I highly recommend using the Root Riot plugs instead of soil or anything else for sticking the cuttings into. The Root Riot plugs have natural anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties as well as a terrific spongey texture that is excellent for rooting cuttings.

I use this for new plants and somewhat dying plants mainly. It's easy to measure, though the markings could be darker to make them easier to see. Instructions are simple to use and understand. This helps new plants grow roots and get a better base faster, and if your plants are starting to die-yellow/brown and wilting-but haven't hit the death mark yet, this root dip may be able to bring it back to life with some tlc. I use this for every transplant I make to help the roots become established faster. I recently transplanted 3 watermelon plants where I used the dip for 2 of them and not the 3rd. And of course, the 2 that I used this are living and producing, while the 3rd is dead.

► As a rooting hormone, great. I like that I can choose the hormone concentration. Works better than others I have tried. ► Packaging SUCKS BIG TIME! You would think that this company would KNOW when you ship a screw top liquid, that you ALWAYS use a seal over top the bottle before the lid. This prevents leakage during shipping. But NO, this manufacturer just puts a lid on the bottle and does not even make sure it is tight. ► With a loosely screwed on lid, any vibration during shipping or even being stored upside down during shipping is a GUARANTEE OF LEAKAGE. I have bought this twice now. The first time only leaked a little. This second time, however, leaked out most of the bottle into the package. You then have to waste your time getting photos, contacting Amazon (they do not accept returns on this) and hopefully Amazon will issue a refund. ► ► ► While this product works, I AM DONE BUYING IT again until they fix their packaging. I'm tired of gambling if it will leak out and force me to have to deal with all this commotion AND not have the product when I need it for rooting my cuttings when they need it. It's too much of a gamble. ◄ ◄ ◄

Works great and an amazing value for your money. I have cut thousands of clones and this one works the absolute best. If you are cloning be sure to only soak the plants as deep as you wants roots. I made the mistake of soaking too far up my stem and roots were busting out with no medium to grow into which isn't the worst thing in the world but can lead to root rot for unexperienced cultivators. In my opinion that just shows how great this product works.

Great stuff works for my clones at 10% I believe it is, just a quick dip then into 500ppm hydro nutrient soaked Rockwood cubes for a couple weeks.
