You need to scrape some of the roots with a knife to scrape off some of the skin exposing the insides. Then wet the roots. Then powder on the rooting hormone. The scraping of the roots first activates the root and encourages it to grow, just be sure to scrape it and not peel it!
Reply:I don't think so. I believe rooting hormone has to be applied directly to the plant surface to promote root formation.





Best wishes and God bless.
Reply:You can do that, nobody's stopping you.
Reply:If I'm not mistaken...which I may be...I believe root hormone is a white powder like substance which is to be applied to a cut plant (such as a rose) in order to influence root growth or the starting of a root??? I am not sure if it will have any effect if it is mixed with water and then poured over soil?? I do believe, however, that if that would work it would say so on the packaging.
