Default Aspirin rooting compound

Does any reader have any information about the use of aspirin as a rooting
agent?


No, but I've heard of putting an aspirin in a flower vase to make the
flowers last longer.

Is it true that one can extract a rooting agent by soaking willow bark and
young stems


Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid. Salicylic acid is so called because it
can be extracted from the bark of willow (Salix)
