Question 1

Description says "snip'n dip 8 .75 ounce packets", but the picture shows "hormex rooting powder #3" what is it the #8 or #3 powder & in a bottle?

Accepted Answer

There are different numbers to the powders based on how hard it is to root plants. You have to select the powder that best suits the need of the plant you're trying to root. If you look in the pictures there is a chart listing what number you need for different plants. Once you've established which number you need you have to select from the different options when powder you want.

Question 2

I’m a novice. Is this “ organic”? Or used by organic farmers/ growers?vs associated with potential  environmental or human health problems? Thank you.

Accepted Answer

I use these products and I am an organic gardener. When I looked into this was a lot better then some of the other cloning/rooting products. Such as the ones for cloning cannabis. Depending on the type of plant you are cloning you may not even need to use anything.

Question 3

If i buy #16 for very hard to root plants, will it also work on easy to root plants? iow can you use the high strength, 8, 16 and have success no matt

Accepted Answer

The brochures that came with the product (#16) says you can go to  hormex.com/plantist 
As for me. I have tried five times to get roots to start of on some woody stemmed plants (cannabis) & the 1st 4 failed. I took 4 cuttings from 4 different plants & put #16 on 2, #3 on1 & none on 1 Always uncovered in & or near a South window 1st Fail; Used moisture control potting mix(2wks), 2nd F. =perlite,(2wks) 3rd F. i sterilzed potting mix(3wks), 4th F. City tap water in individual jars & rotated a bubbler.(3-4wks). Succeeded when i moved away from window & used a 10"deep plastic tub filled  1/3 with tap water, an air bubbler & 2 CFL light bulbs in cheap heatlamp fixtures. After 1wk. all had 1/2-2" roots. After 2wks. all had  1 1/2-4" roots.. With or without rooting hormone, although the ones with the #16 do seem to be doing better on  these woody plants. I've been propagating VIA stem cuttings for 50yrs. & have always had very good luck with any opaque container, just keep it covered in a bright area. BUT NO DIRECT SUN!! Also usually best NOT to use soil (unless sterilzed ), Perlite or sand seem to work best for me, Even if its   dirty sand.

Question 4

Can i use (hormex rooting powder number 8 difficult to propagate plants) for shoot (date palm) and lemon or there is any other hormone is the best ?

Accepted Answer

I am not familiar with those woods. If they are fibrous and hard, woody....then it might be the right one. It is the highest concentration that I currently use.If they are softer, green shoots, like vegetable stalks, then you may need one that is less concentrated. The active ingredient is indole 3 butyric acid. I have concentrations from .1% to .8%. Hormex #16, #30 and #45 are all progressively stronger. #45 is the strongest. Hardwoods will need the stronger ones, semi-woody will use the #8 or #16, while soft stems will use the less concentrated like #1 or #3. I use #8 because it is good for most plants that I work with. Hormex is the best product I have used, it is very successful. Good luck, I hope it works for your cuttings !   :-)
