Rooting preparations , commonly known as rooting agents, usually come in the form of a powder or powder.The main component of rooting is auxins, i.e. plant hormones that influence the formation of adventitious roots at the base of the seedling. Additional ingredients are vitamins and microelements that support the effects of auxins.
The use of the rooting agentis to dip the seedling base, then shake off the excess powder and plant the seedling into the ground. Because when placing the seedling in the ground, all the powder may be removed, it is worth making holes in the ground in which we will insert the seedlings. In order for the rooting preparation to stick better, the tips of the cuttings are also moistened. This is most often the case with the most difficult-to-root cuttings.
various types of rooting are available in garden storesThe type of preparation should be selected according to the type of cuttings (herbaceous, semi-woody or woody), the difficulty of rooting and the type of plant from which the cuttings are taken. The most common types of rooting are B, A and AB.
