using fungicides for cuttings

9 years ago

Is it good to dip cutting's end in a powdered fungicide (such as Mancozeb ) or irritate planted cuttings with diluted liquid fungicide to prevent rotting? Can it harm cuttings or disturb the rooting process?
I would appreciate any answers and ideas.

Not having the label for the fungicide makes it hard to know but I'd say put it on and in the dirt close to the cutting instead. Safer bet that way.

Yeah that's what I use- rooting powder. I only got it to work for some stuff though. Mostly ivy.
