How To Grow Root Cuttings Naturally? 4 Homemade Solutions

by

That’s why I suggest giving natural, homemade solutions a shot as they’re gentler and can work incredibly well if you know what you’re doing.

Homemade Solutions To Get Root Cuttings Going

Rooted Cutting

Mix 2-3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in a gallon of water and dip the cut end of the root in the solution before planting it in potting soil mix.

 

Apple cider vinegar is an excellent alternative to commercial rooting hormones as it contains acetic acid, which helps stimulate root growth very well.

This solution can be made easily at home as apple cider vinegar is something most of you will have in your pantries.

3) Comfrey Tea Spray

Most of you might know comfrey tea as a fertilizer used in the garden for flowering plants. However, it can also be used to encourage rooting in root cuttings as it contains good amounts of allantoin, which is a compound that promotes strong and healthy root development.
Simply brew some strong comfrey tea and transfer it to a spray bottle so that you can mist your root cuttings with it. Results might take some time but it’ll definitely be worth it.
