Hormodin #3 Rooting Hormone for Difficult-to-Root Cuttings | OHP

Overview: Hormodin #3 Rooting Aid for Challenging Cuttings

Hormodin #3 is a purpose-built rooting hormone designed to help you develop healthy roots on cuttings that are often difficult to root. It uses indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) at a 0.8% concentration to encourage root formation, delivering a fine powder coating that you dip onto basal ends before planting. Easy to use and focused on consistent results, Hormodin 3 aims to support robust rooting while reducing propagation losses and limiting disease migration during the process.

What makes Hormodin #3 worth considering

• Designed for propagating harder-to-root varieties, including evergreens and dormant, leafless cuttings.
• 0.8% IBA concentration provides a potent, targeted rooting signal without overloading the cutting.
• Formulated as a root-inducing hormone based on indole-3-butyric acid, a common rooting agent in horticulture.
• Easy, repeatable method that many growers report as reliable for rooted cuttings.
• Designed to help minimize disease migration during propagation with a clean, powder-coated coating.

To apply Hormodin, moisten cuttings, particularly the basal ends, before treatment (geraniums are an exception). Pour a small amount of Hormodin into a bowl or pan. Dip and stir the basal ends of the cuttings in Hormodin. Remove excess powder by tapping on the container rim. Then plant the treated cuttings in rooting medium. Simply stated, "Dip it - Tap it - Stick it". Hormodin performs best when used on fresh cuttings.

Usage in practice: quick steps

• Moisten cuttings, focusing on the basal ends (excluding geraniums).
• Pour a small amount of Hormodin into a dish and dip the basal ends.
• Gently tap to remove excess powder; plant immediately into rooting medium.
• Maintain appropriate conditions and monitor for new root growth.

Why growers may choose Hormodin 3

• Specially prepared for challenging-to-root varieties, including evergreens and dormant cuttings.
• 0.8% IBA concentration provides a measured rooting stimulus without overdoing it.
• Root-inducing properties come from a well-known auxin-based formulation used in propagation.
• Supports a simple, repeatable rooting routine that can improve consistency across batches.

Note: Results can vary depending on plant type and environmental conditions.
