Years ago I went to a talk on cuttings, there they recommended that a

How annoying! I have the feeling I have heard something about this but
can't find where - do you have more info on this or do you know where
we could get it?

Its all in the hormones!

And some!! I've just heard that some people also use honey as a
rooting help - amazing proprieties honey. Some also make a brew out
willow but I'm interested in the corn seed. If you come across it
please let me know.
