Help! What is the name of the higher powered rooting powder?

Posted by mmmgonzo z7 OR (My Page) on

I forgot what this one was called... I think it was a higher strength, worked better (supposedly).. I traded cuttings for a bit of it from someone on the forum about 4-5 years ago.

Anyone have any ideas what it is called? And where I would find it?

It isn't Rootone or Dip 'n' Gro...

I am drawing a complete blank!

Higher strength doesn't always mean a better result. I find other factors much more important than the rooting hormone.
I just use a syringe to drop in 0.3 ml of roots liquid get into the hole. I use it to root roses and it works great.

I will not argue with Paul, but after quite a few years of study, Rhizopon AA #3 is what you want to use. This contains the active ingredient 0.8% IBA, which is considered the best for rooting roses.
