Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone bothered with the different strengths of rooting hormone. I realize that certain species of Tree/plants are harder to root than others. Are the Rooting powders found in most garden stores enough for even difficult to root material
or is it recommended to have a variety of different strengths on hand?

Subject: [IBC] Cuttings from woody plants


I just read in a post regarding taking cuttings to "Scrape the top
layer of bark with a razor to expose the green cadmium before applying
rooting hormone"
I'm new, and think the boxwoods i've put in pots are ok ... all i did
was cut them, dip into the hormone, put in a finger hole in the soil,
and pack the soil in. Are my boxwoods doomed ? Also, how much
rooting hormone is enough ? I'm being pretty liberal with it, and i
know that with plants, often too much is bad!
