![]() ALSO CONSIDER: Hormex Rooting Hormone Powder #8.Photo: What to Consider When Choosing the Best Rooting Hormone Rooting hormone products are relatively inexpensive and range from around $13 for a bottle that will treat up to 50 cuttings to $25 (or more) for a large container that will treat more than 100 cuttings. The most significant difference is in the type of product and whether it contains added ingredients, such as nutrients or fertilizers intended to help the plant grow and thrive once the cutting develops roots. Rooting hormone products come in three main types: liquid, gel, and powder. No matter the type, all three are used in a similar manner: the gardener dips the end of the cutting in the hormone product and then puts the cutting in a moist, growing medium. Liquid: Bottles of liquid rooting hormone come in either ready-to-use formulations or concentrated formulations that require mixing with water. Powder: One of the most common types of root hormone products available, powder is simple to use and offers a thick layer of root-stimulating chemical.Gel: This rooting hormone adheres well to cuttings and provides a slightly thicker coating of the hormone than liquid varieties, which may offer more root-boosting stimulus.Some gardeners feel liquid offers the best coverage since it can seep into tiny pores in the cutting. Before dipping the cutting in the powder, many gardeners will dip the cutting in water, so the root hormone adheres better. ![]()
