Some plants are almost impossible to propagate from cuttings because they have a hard time developing new roots. However, there is a home remedy that will make almost all cuttings root easily. The trick is to use natural honey on the cuttings.
Learn this method from the vstolovke portal and easily multiply your favorite plants at home.
As you may know, flower honey contains biogenic stimulators and phytohormones that are not found in other growth stimulants, especially chemical ones. When rooting cuttings, honey contributes to the rapid formation, active development and growth of the lower roots, as well as disinfecting the cut wound.
In addition, honey is difficult to wash, which prevents pathogens present in the substrate from penetrating the damaged surface.
Preparation of rooting with honey
You will need to:
1 tablespoon of natural honey for every liter of water
Procedure:
Mix honey with water. To make it dissolve faster, you should mix it in a small amount of warm (not hot) water first. Then, add the appropriate amount of cold water.
Cut the cuttings. Dip the cuttings into the prepared honey solution.
Let them soak for 1 to 24 hours. During this time, the cuttings will absorb biologically active substances. Woody cuttings will require more time, while herbaceous and hardy cuttings will need less.
So that the growth stimulant (honey) remains on the cuttings as long as possible, they should not be stuck into the ground. Instead, make a hole in the soil, place the cutting in it, compact the soil around it, and water with water.
This will ensure maximum adhesion.
