Cuttings are a technical skill; if you understand and do it correctly, the cuttings will easily root. So how do you get cuttings to root quickly? Let's learn about the fastest methods for rooting cuttings.
1. Rooting powder
To promote the growth of cuttings, apply some rooting powder to the base of the cuttings or soak them in water with rooting powder for a period of time to allow them to root quickly.
2. Vitamin B12
After diluting the vitamin B12 injection with twice the amount of water, soak the cuttings in the solution for 5 minutes and then let them dry. This method is beneficial for wound healing and can also promote rapid rooting.
3. Aspirin
After diluting aspirin with water, soak the cuttings for about half an hour before planting. Aspirin contains salicylic acid, which can help heal wounds and promote root growth, making it a very effective rooting agent.
4. Sugar solution
Soaking cuttings in a 5% to 10% sugar solution for 24 hours, then rinsing them clean before planting can also promote rooting.
5. Potassium permanganate
Soaking cuttings in a potassium permanganate solution for 10 hours and then immediately inserting them into the soil can promote root growth in plants.
6. Vinegar
Dilute vinegar 100 times, soak the cuttings overnight, then wash and dry them before planting. This greatly increases the survival rate of the cuttings. However, the vinegar used should not contain salt; rice vinegar is best.
7. Honey
After the honey has been fully dissolved in water, soak the cuttings in it for about half an hour, then take them out, wash them, and let them dry before planting them. This will greatly improve the rooting rate of the cuttings.
