I watched this video and was very pleased to see someone,... ANYONE doing anything resembling an actual imperical trial of basic "internet rumors". I then searched the rest of RUclips to see if there was anyone else that was attempting to do any objective, transparent studies that were similar. There were none. You have won the internet for me today. The next time I visit Canada, I'd seriously like to meet you.
Hey, fellow bee keeper here. I wasn’t able to see what kind of honey you have there in that big plastic bottle. Is there a reason you didn’t use local raw honey from a local bee keeper? There is three times as much honey on the market then actually exists on the planet so most of the honey you find in stores is cut with high fructose corn syrup or other sugar sources. It’s also usually pasteurized (even the labels that saw raw are usually heated to easily dispense the honey into containers). I’m curious what your results would be with local raw honey. Thanks for all your wonderful content!
I use willow water, I keep willow branches in a bucket of water outside , I stick cuttings in with them and let them sit until I see root growth, I also water my cuttings with willow tea water. works really well for rooting tree cuttings and roses.
I use willow chips in my garden. For 25 dollars a bag, it really improves any soil. Just using "wood chips" is OK, if you know what kind of chips. Some wood chips are not so good for the garden. Cedar for example, will stop growth, before it helps. Glad to hear I'm not the only one that loves willow, and it's uses.
@Tiger Cub I till them in and under. My rainfall is less then 7 inches a year. The thing about willow is that it has lots of little micro places to hold water. Straw is actually high in cellulose and if you shred it up it makes for good compost. If you have cactus around that is problematic, sundry all the moisture out of it, then burn off the spines as best as possible, then run through the chipper. Till that into the soil as well. I don't know the nutrients value, but it holds water like a sponge, and creates benefits for the soil micro systems. Good luck.
Thank God finally somebody made a real comparison of different types of propagation. Again I'm very straightforward an excellently done video. A true professional.
I loved your experiment. I didn't give much credit to "rooting hormones" such as rooting powder and I had heard the other "alternatives" as well and because they are commonly grouped together and the others sounded far fetched, I had disregarded rooting hormones as well. but thanks to your proof of concept experiment, I am now a believer in rooting hormones.i will be buying some shortly after going through some of your videos to see what your personal preference or recommendation is for which one to get. thank you.
Ive seen a few experiments on RUclips but clonex is amazing for rooting .it worked out well about 7 out of ten cuttings took well shoots of roots .clonex
Rooting hormones are essentially all natural. They work because they are the same hormones that plants use already. We were simply able to isolate and synthesize them. Plants also synthesize these chemicals, but likely through different pathways because chemistry isn't easy. But at the end if the day, a lab synthesized molecule is identical to a plant synthesized molecule, or it would be a failed synthesis.
Great video Fraser - 1st time watcher - very helpful - have very old orange trees (2) that are just amazing - immense flavour, no pips (seeds) - not easy-peel but that doesn't matter. Once new wood shows I will go rooting powder all the way and possibly do some air layering.
This video was of much help to me, have tried planting roses but have failed three times, will try with the rooting hormone and see what comes out of that , thanks so much
I rooted a lot of hydrangeas and crape Myrtle last month now all I see is roots! I’m happy with honey. I’m hoping the air layering I made with rooting hormone will be successful!
Great video... again. Really learned a lot already on your channel. Thank you so much for your work! Willow Water beats all other things I tried, in initial rooting AND growing more and stronger roots, that´s my experience, with all kind of ornamental plants, trees and herbs. It sure does if you measure it in Bucks paid. I don`t really measure the ratio, I take what ever container I have, fill it up with soft bark peeled off the wood, till it is full, not pressing down. Water to the top. Leave it for 24-48 h. Not longer and no lid on the container! Put the cuttings in it, one or two nodes deep, over night, then plant it next day. Dilute the rest 1:1 and water other plants with it. Works all year, but best in spring when the Willows start growing.
Hi Jennifer. I tried the potato thing too, and it turned out poorly vs. potting soil. Here's the vid: ruclips.net/video/DK2BqAMSxyc/видео.html The final results on the honey cuttings were significantly worse than with rooting hormone - nearly 100% with powder to only 30% with honey.
Thanks. Check my Amazon store. I'll link it below the video. I have Dip n Grow listed, plus Hormex #8 should be equivalent to the Stim Root I used (which is more a Canadian thing, I think)
Interesting as I just yesterday made 6 Rose cuttings (twice 3 different roses). I stuck a 5 cm piece of a soft willow branch which a smashed a bit close to (1 cm) each rose cutting. Never tried it before, I have previously use rooting powder. So this is of course an experiment without comparing with rooting powder. Previously I tried honey and it didn’t work at all. I’ll be back in approximately 8 weeks with the results.
I've learned to use small pieces of Aloe Vera and have had great results. I'm attempting to try the Honey experiment now myself. Let you know how it goes.
Thanks, really enjoyed this. Simple yet informative. I have almost 100% success with roses not using anything , however, likely not as quick to establish as using rooting hormone now that I see your results. I have tried bottom heat but, unlike other plants, roses do healthier without it. Not to impose but the same experiment would be interesting with a more temperamental plant like clematis.
Since the Rootone/Rooting powder always comes off so easily I've done two things: dip cutting first in honey then the powder, or make a diluted solution of SUPERthrive and dip into it first then the rooting powder. Both seem to work better than only the powder.
I have no problem recommending rooting hormone powder with IBA. It's a naturally occurring hormone. If you're an organic purist, it might be willow water instead.
Spring or early summer would be best - but I did this in fall, with dropping temps on an unheated bench (thus the shock-and-drop of foliage!). If I'm fortunate with the weather, a fair amount will still lightly root before winter - but the ones with rooting hormone are way ahead.
Thanks for the great video. You've answered some questions but I have more. I'd like to root some cuttings off of my Japanese Cedar Tree. Got any suggestions as to when would be the best time to take cuttings and should the cuttings be of the soft wood or hard wood? Thanks again.
Used rooting hormone, in a dozen deshojo cuttings... sticked half of them in sphagnum moss and the other half in pine bark mixed with perlite, How long should i wait before checking? And does checking every 2 weeks harm them?
If you're gentle, you can check without much risk of damage. After 2 to 3 weeks, I give them a gentle tug, and if they pull back firmly, I take that as a good sign
Putting your firewood against a building is a great way to get termites in your structure, that is unless you have an all metal studs and non wood sheathing....
Very nice and educational video I'm sure that you water the soil first but how much water did give and also did you water them during the 3 weeks and if did how much water did you give
I just listed a pot/tray combo in the same size on my Amazon store - I saw something similar on Greenhouse Megastore. I get mine from local distributors of hort. supplies in Canada.
I tried everything possible trying to propagate hydrangea and other plants, but no success. I tried rooting hormone, cinnamon powder, and yes even honey. What am I doing wrong. Please help!
Thanks Tonka. Might work. I'm not convinced the honey even did much good as protection - the best defense against rot might just be the quick development of roots.
Please if you could answer this, I'm rooting my cuttings indoors and without any thing , I cut on an angle and scraped the bottom a lightly. Dip in water and planted in organic potting soil, also while in doors will they still root through winter, this was just experiment,
Hi Donna, I have better success in the warmth and light of summer. Maybe if you also have grow lights inside it will help. Are you doing anything to trap humidity? It can be quite dry indoors for rooting.
@@wompbozer3939 Yeah of course...but just as coffee or tea in the morning wakes people up quicker than water does, these extras do similar to the plant rooting. Speeds them up. Just clarifying.
Collin Wadham I’ve done side by side tests with cannabis clones, and there was no difference. Meanwhile, I’ve watched people skip entire crop cycles because they didn’t have any “ rooting powder”. They wouldn’t even try just using pure water
I've only ever regrow one plant unsure of name, it was a ground spreader and placed it it a small milk bottle with water on my window cill in doors, kept it in there for 6-8 weeks and needed to cut the plastic bottle away as there was loads if roots and it was plain rap water 🤔
First thought, if the honey was thick on the stem I'd think the moisture wasn't able to get to it, making the clone wait until the honey thinned out before it was able to start callus or rooting.
2 questions: 1) your opinion on- a RUclipsr’s experiment w several methods.But, 1 showed best results (90%), used #LimeJuice +/- 1-2 ounces (50ml) IN w #RootHormone. They rooted profusely after 3 months. 2) What’s the #MAX length of #TIME we can keep Rose stems before using them as Rose cuttings? E.G. can they stay in H2O for a couple of days, while we enjoy the roses in a vase, then cut stems for propagating? (I love bringing my 🌹 indoors for their beauty & amazing scent.)
I've been doing #3 with good results (semi-hardwood) - might make sense to try #8 for some of the more difficult-to-root varieties, but I haven't experimented a lot with rate.
thank you Jason, brilliant comparison. i have asked you this before, but i am still struggling with roses from cuts showing very active green leaves for a while and they become blackish and die. when i check about roots, there is no roots. is it possible to have green foliage without roots? i tried to control water and humidity, but looks like i am still doing something wrong? any guidance? thanks
Hi Mohamed. Yes, many cuttings can persist with green stems (and even new shoots) but then fail because they didn't root. If you're already keeping good control of soil moisture, and you're using a fairly inert potting mix, there are two other things I can suggest: 1) increase the concentration of your rooting hormone, and 2) use bottom heat to encourage rooting.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm many thanks Jason, great advises. much appreciated. Any recommended rooting hormone percentage activity and effective type. currently i am using Garden safe (Take root) with activity of 0.1% Indol -3 butyric acid thanks again
@@mohamedabouzour9649 I think it is where you live. Here in Manchester England , I carry a screwdriver and a knife. When a rose is too long I cut off 8 inches, make a hole with my screwdriver and stick it in, I month it is rooted and flowering. El Ham Du Lilah ! BUT Not All Rose Species Will Root.
There is this study called "Effect of alternative hormones on the rootability of parkia biglobosa" by Oluwagbenga Dunsin, where they tested honey, and other alternatives to rooting hormone, they didn't find that the use of honey was not particularly helpful, but in comparison the use of coconut water and moringa leaf extract was somewhat successful, have you ever heard of these? Could you try it's effect on roses? And thank you so much for your videos, are really inspiring.
My final results weren't very promising for honey - rooting powder outperformed it by a lot. Raspberries are pretty easy to root (I like semi-hardwood, a bit later in the season, but I bet you could do softer "tip" cuttings too). If you don't want to use rooting hormone, there's some evidence willow water can help
My Peggy Martin rose cutting seems like it's shooting (I can see small leaves coming out of the nodes) and the cutting is resisting in the pot, so it looks like it has rooted too. It is in a small pot in potting mix in my covered patio. What should I do now, wait more or bring the cutting in the full sun (too hot these days in Houston, TX) in the same small pot and potting mix?
I'd begin to transition it to outdoor conditions and once you see strong new growth and rooting to the sides and bottom of the little pot, you can transplant upwards
People, use your brain, don’t use anything else to judge this, this is only a display of the experience on using 4 type of ways to propagate cuttings. Be WISE and FAIR please.
Nice experiment! So if i used honey or cinnamon powder in the first place, can i take those cuttings out and dip those in rooting powder and plant again? Will that work?
Why exactly do they have to be rooted for winter? Im just doing small indoor batches at home... is it a Temperature thing? Also do the cuttings need a lot of daylight? Ive just been able to get my hands on some 1% iba powder and its much better than clonex which seems to weak. I guess im still too impatient though because ive been pulling them out almost daily to check for kallus? Do you think thats harmfull to roots growing at all? Have you had rose varieties that didnt root at all or veeeery diffult?
My best survival rate for overwintering plants is when they'll well rooted to the sides of the pots, and I think it's the low temperatures and susceptibility to rot. If my cuttings are well-rooted and growing fast before winter, they seem to come through okay, but if they go in with weak roots and low energy, they sometimes succumb to winter damage/rot.
there are no magic bullets, rooting cuttings without any hormone is the best method. variations in the growth of roots depends just as much on the compost as anything else the compost should contain the correct stimulation naturally but in this world where plant diseases can travel hundreds of miles in compost most bought compost is sterile at the time of packing it may contain nutrients but be basically dead soil. a little bottom heat usually helps. if you do not have any luck with cuttings try cutting a rose down to about nine inches let new shoots sprout cover the base of the shoots with compost and leave well alone for the winter when the shoots have grown another six inches you will have ready rooted roses to split off the main stem. throw away anything that grows below a root stock graft unless you want to try grafting. Leave one shoot on the stem to let the original plant recover.
FYI, using willow for rooting works best when you use the willow shoots, as the growth hormone is more concentrated it the green young parts. I use willow chips all other my garden because my soil is Sandy, with lots of clay under the glacier till. Willow chips are cheap for what befits I get from them. Happy gardening.
Willow water works really well for me. Just leave willow leaves and sticks in a bucket of water for a few days. Stick your cuttings into the same bucket and leave for an hour or so. Then plant, and keep watering with willow water.. FREE
I hope you will consider doing this again and including cinnamon. I've always used it as rooting hormone, but have never had anything to compare it to and now I'm curious how well it would do in this test. Great video!
Rooting hormone is produced within the plant naturally as well - it's just slower than an external application. People may have used many other things (including willow water) but the big improvements in commercial propagation were achieved with the use of IBA
Great video Jason! I love experiments like this! My only question is whether not dipping the stems for 5 seconds as suggested by the manufacturer made any difference since dip-n-grow is much more concentrated than regular rooting power...?
Thanks moxee33 - and I caught that too, but only after I turned off the camera. I slowed down and gave the Dip-n-grow cuttings 5 seconds each before sticking the remainder (and even re-dipped the ones I did super fast). As you saw in the results, they'll just a little behind the one stuck with Stim-Root.

thank you Jason, brilliant comparison. i have asked you this before, but i am still struggling with roses from cuts showing very active green leaves for a while and they become blackish and die. when i check about roots, there is no roots. is it possible to have green foliage without roots? i tried to control water and humidity, but looks like i am still doing something wrong? any guidance? thanks
Hi Mohamed. Yes, many cuttings can persist with green stems (and even new shoots) but then fail because they didn't root. If you're already keeping good control of soil moisture, and you're using a fairly inert potting mix, there are two other things I can suggest: 1) increase the concentration of your rooting hormone, and 2) use bottom heat to encourage rooting.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm many thanks Jason, great advises. much appreciated. Any recommended rooting hormone percentage activity and effective type. currently i am using Garden safe (Take root) with activity of 0.1% Indol -3 butyric acid
thanks again
@@mohamedabouzour9649 I think it is where you live. Here in Manchester England , I carry a screwdriver and a knife. When a rose is too long I cut off 8 inches, make a hole with my screwdriver and stick it in, I month it is rooted and flowering. El Ham Du Lilah ! BUT Not All Rose Species Will Root.
Thank you, great information
There is this study called "Effect of alternative hormones on the rootability of parkia
biglobosa" by Oluwagbenga Dunsin, where they tested honey, and other alternatives to rooting hormone, they didn't find that the use of honey was not particularly helpful, but in comparison the use of coconut water and moringa leaf extract was somewhat successful, have you ever heard of these? Could you try it's effect on roses? And thank you so much for your videos, are really inspiring.
Thanks Daniel. I'll have to look it up
really with honey great message to us
Im in NE Illinois. can I use this to propagate my raspberry cuttings? I have my own honey from a couple of hives that we have.
My final results weren't very promising for honey - rooting powder outperformed it by a lot. Raspberries are pretty easy to root (I like semi-hardwood, a bit later in the season, but I bet you could do softer "tip" cuttings too). If you don't want to use rooting hormone, there's some evidence willow water can help
Extremely interesting and informative… What soil do you use for testing?
In this case, I think it was a composted bark-based mix.
My Peggy Martin rose cutting seems like it's shooting (I can see small leaves coming out of the nodes) and the cutting is resisting in the pot, so it looks like it has rooted too. It is in a small pot in potting mix in my covered patio. What should I do now, wait more or bring the cutting in the full sun (too hot these days in Houston, TX) in the same small pot and potting mix?
I'd begin to transition it to outdoor conditions and once you see strong new growth and rooting to the sides and bottom of the little pot, you can transplant upwards
Open mind with healthy skepticism 👍🏼
People, use your brain, don’t use anything else to judge this, this is only a display of the experience on using 4 type of ways to propagate cuttings. Be WISE and FAIR please.
I just subscribed, you are so smart. Can the same method be used on a Hinoki Cypress?
Great video
What do you do after you pulled them out like that?? Put them in a pot? Thank you very informational
Yes, I potted them to allow more rooting time. Thanks!
Fraser Valley Rose Farm oh okay thank you for replying!!!
Informative video
Like from India
So would the honey work still?? I have some lilac branches and I’d like to root those...
Hi Tara. I'd choose rooting powder or willow water ahead of honey based on my experience.
Thanks for the help! 🙏🏽
What strength of rooting hormone do you recommend for blueberries? Thanks.
On the higher end of the range. 0.8 to 1.0% IBA
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thanks! Great videos.
Great video! Thanks!
Fantastic, I'll give it a go, thanks for sharing 🌴🌿🌱☘🍃✅
What's the timescale on your experiment? I might have missed it but i'm curious on how long it took until you took a look at the roots
It was 3 weeks. Thanks
Nice experiment! So if i used honey or cinnamon powder in the first place, can i take those cuttings out and dip those in rooting powder and plant again? Will that work?
Should work okay
Why exactly do they have to be rooted for winter? Im just doing small indoor batches at home... is it a Temperature thing?
Also do the cuttings need a lot of daylight? Ive just been able to get my hands on some 1% iba powder and its much better than clonex which seems to weak.
I guess im still too impatient though because ive been pulling them out almost daily to check for kallus?
Do you think thats harmfull to roots growing at all? Have you had rose varieties that didnt root at all or veeeery diffult?
My best survival rate for overwintering plants is when they'll well rooted to the sides of the pots, and I think it's the low temperatures and susceptibility to rot. If my cuttings are well-rooted and growing fast before winter, they seem to come through okay, but if they go in with weak roots and low energy, they sometimes succumb to winter damage/rot.
there are no magic bullets, rooting cuttings without any hormone is the best method. variations in the growth of roots depends just as much on the compost as anything else the compost should contain the correct stimulation naturally but in this world where plant diseases can travel hundreds of miles in compost most bought compost is sterile at the time of packing it may contain nutrients but be basically dead soil. a little bottom heat usually helps. if you do not have any luck with cuttings try cutting a rose down to about nine inches let new shoots sprout cover the base of the shoots with compost and leave well alone for the winter when the shoots have grown another six inches you will have ready rooted roses to split off the main stem. throw away anything that grows below a root stock graft unless you want to try grafting. Leave one shoot on the stem to let the original plant recover.
gud day, what is the brand of your powder growthing hormone..
I use StimRoot here in Canada, but in the US it's more likely Hormodin
I was going to order some Stim-Root but there are quite a few different formulations to choose from. Do you know which is best for an apricot cutting?
I believe the best time for apricot cuttings is in the hardwood/dormant stage. For that, you use a higher concentration. Usually at least 0.7%
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thanks so much!
Thank you
FYI, using willow for rooting works best when you use the willow shoots, as the growth hormone is more concentrated it the green young parts. I use willow chips all other my garden because my soil is Sandy, with lots of clay under the glacier till. Willow chips are cheap for what befits I get from them. Happy gardening.
Thanks - very helpful.
Willow water works really well for me. Just leave willow leaves and sticks in a bucket of water for a few days. Stick your cuttings into the same bucket and leave for an hour or so. Then plant, and keep watering with willow water.. FREE
I hope you will consider doing this again and including cinnamon. I've always used it as rooting hormone, but have never had anything to compare it to and now I'm curious how well it would do in this test. Great video!
Thanks... I'll put it on my list!
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Yay! thanks!
Fantastic presentation thanks for the information. Maggie Australia
Is it possible for leechi plant ,mango ,avocado ,jack fruits?
What did people use before the hormone was available?
Rooting hormone is produced within the plant naturally as well - it's just slower than an external application. People may have used many other things (including willow water) but the big improvements in commercial propagation were achieved with the use of IBA
I've heard of willow "tea" but never of honey used to root cuttings.
Great video Jason! I love experiments like this! My only question is whether not dipping the stems for 5 seconds as suggested by the manufacturer made any difference since dip-n-grow is much more concentrated than regular rooting power...?
Thanks moxee33 - and I caught that too, but only after I turned off the camera. I slowed down and gave the Dip-n-grow cuttings 5 seconds each before sticking the remainder (and even re-dipped the ones I did super fast). As you saw in the results, they'll just a little behind the one stuck with Stim-Root.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm I too use dip-n-grow, but I usually dip 5-10 cuttings at a time. Makes it go much faster!!!
You bet! I also should have been pausing for 3 to 5 seconds in the solution - I realized afterwards how fast I was going, and went back to correct.
I diped with honey. It produced small leaves but no root. How? Please reply soon
