"homemade rooting hormone"

I can't be held responsible for this working or not but I'm going to try it. I found this on the web earlier.




Homemade rooting hormone
Take willow twigs and pour hot water over them. Steep for a few hours. Use to water your cuttings the first time or use it to root them in water.

Sure hope it works.

I forgot to add that Brenda roots her cuttings in a willow bucket. Water with a willow stick or limb in it. She is the one who said that rooting mediums are made from willow and got me started down this path. LOL
Thanks,

Willow is where we get aspirin from. Grandmas of old have used tea made from boiled willow bark as a remedy for arthritis. Just a little useless information from Cliff Clavin's sister.
