I am presently using Rootone powder for propagation.
Are there better choices?
Some rhododendron and azalea propagators use Hormodin rooting
powders.
It is made by Olympic Horticultural Products
(
www.hormodin.com).
It comes in 3 strengths:
Hormodin 1: 1% Indole-3-butyric Acid
Hormodin 2: 3% Indole-3-butyric Acid
Hormodin 3: 8% Indole-3-butyric Acid
Rootone has 4.24% Indole-3-butyric Acid
The shelf-life of these materials is quite short -- especially
the liquid formulations. Use them up as soon as they're mixed
and use a jar of powdered rootone in a single season.
