Stumbled on this video while getting ready to use hormone rooting. Grabbed Cinnamon out of the cupboard and after a week notes the roots grew at lest 2 times as fast as the hormone!! Thx
Aspirin works well in the experiment I did. As well or better than honey and cinnamon. The key is use on non coated aspirin. This guy used a coated aspirin. Coated aspirin will not work. Crush 2 uncoated aspirin tablets and dip the cutting into the powder. Works every time its done with uncoated asprin.
Straight and to the point. No douchey bro intro and no rambling on about liking and subscribing. Just information. Also, more than a little surprised at the cinnamon......
@@JimmyBHarvests I know that combining techniques sometimes hurts rather than improves things, however dipping the cuttings into Raw Honey than coating them w/Cinnamon... Does that improve the overall rooting...?
@@isaiahisaiah2288cinnamon actually contains the hormones found in rooting hormone products mixing it with honey will probably help as they say the honey has antibacterial and fungal agents that contribute to succesful rooting.
That’s a fun experiment! Speaking of cinnamon, its very disinfectant for orchids, i had an orchid suffering black rot many years ago and i read online to clean the rot off, scrape the root stalk and coat the thing in cinnamon. By the time i was done scraping the rot off there were no roots left, the carrot shaped stalk was whittled down it was miserable. I expected this thing to die. The leaves were even shrivelled from lack of water absorption as it had no working roots to drink. So i coated it, replanted in fresh new bark medium and took 2 months but the first air root appeared, (that i could see) the leaves kept alive somehow, and that plant lived another 10 years before it had an unfortunate experience with a cat. Cinnamon is very good for dealing with rot issues. I have also had an orchid get sunburn on a leaf, so i wet the spot and coat with cinnamon and it stops the corruption from spreading so you dont lose the leaf. I am impressed with it. It helped my first orchid regrow roots and survive a bad fungal infection (black rot)
You shouldnt believe unless the same person shows you the results. There are plenty of such kind of people on youtube who make fake videos and cheat in the background.
Assigning more surface area by making wedge shaped cut on the stem worked for me most of the time. Aloevera is a good fertilizer and we can use it to soak the cuttings initially. Some plants root easily without help of natural or synthetic hormones. For hard to root plants, rooting hormone from nursery is mandatory.
Do not forget each type of plant needs diffrent amount or none of rooting hormones.So what can work on Tomato may not work on lavender plant or other plants. Also when using parts of plants as a rooting hormone like the aloe the level of hormones might be diffrent if it is a a leaf from top or down the plant and the light levels it was growing in . I can guess in synthetic hormones it should be same level always. But your experiment is still great and I will try myself on other plants. tnks
Love this! I just moved overseas and I can't get rooting hormone in my area. Thank you so much for doing this testing!! I was wondering about all the sketchy DIY videos. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I appreciate this info, subscribed to your channel. So many youtube channels claim each & every single diy method will work, but they never supply us with actual evidence on how effective each method is. I'm extremely skeptical about the aspirin method, it always looks like people glued roots on to the aspirin treated plant trimmings 😂😂😂
Aloe DOEs work to promote "growing from cuttings" but not as a root stimulator. It is an excellent fungal/bacterial suppressant which, for some plants, kills the cutting before it can grow roots to support itself. I started coating Plumeria paduca cuttings, letting dry for one hour, then plant in moist soil and went from 60% success to nearly 100% success. Paducas can be slow to root so I found the aloe to support them in the interim, as with other slow-rooting plants. As a commercial grower, it was very helpful so that I now grow a crop of aloe to have ample supplies near the propagation house.
Thanks much for taking the time and making the effort to test these items! I'm going to try the cinnamon to root clematis! One thing I question though is that you appear to have used enteric coated aspirin, which might mess with your results. All sites I've seen recommending the use of ASA specify to use non-enteric coated sources. I'm wondering if the coating - a substance meant to withstand stomach acid! - might have been the problem!
Thanks Jane! You might be on to something with the enteric coating. I hadn’t seen that detail when originally seeing aspirin mentioned as a rooting agent, but a couple people have said that here in the comments. Would be worth another test next time I’ve got some cuttings!
Man, those “tap water controls” are always winning over the “treated”. Makes me wonder what the hell is in your tap water. I’ve always heard and even read a few things about pharmaceuticals being in tap water. It would be cool to see you test that next. Lol 😄👍🏼
Most plants have rooting hormone at their nodes. Sterile water allows them to grow without any disease getting into the water ... I use willow water which works. Really well most of the time but sometimes if the water isn't sterile or boiled and then cooled it will get some fermentation ...or if I don't remove the willow leaves after making the water. It works amazingly well on most things but you have to also have the node all the hormone can do is signal the node to create roots rather than a branch or leaf. If the node isn't there it won't work.
Aloe is all I use on my cuttings and it works like a gem never had any issues so far…. Like your one user said different plants like different things something’s may work better on others than some but thanks for the video informative
Very good . The question would be did you need a bigger control group with a variety of plants. Do all plants require the exact same thing to root or is it possible that some rooting agents may work better than others on certain plants
I really appreciate this video and it's perfect timing just before I'm about to propagate some things. With many things, I just root in water or directly in soil, but I have had good luck with cinnamon. I figure, too, it doesn't hurt that cinnamon's a pretty good repellent for various pests from insects to rodents.
@@JimmyBHarvests thank you for the info my friend knowledge means power for me and now i know that honey and cinamon are good substitute for roots.Stay strong you do great job
Wow thank you so much for your time and your explanation! I have a lot of raw Honey and cinnamon at home. but I have a question can I dilute the cinnamon with water for the root stimulation?
Did you try combining honey with cinnamon? Would be interesting to see if it works better EDIT: I tried it myself, and it didn't work. Cinnamon alone worked best for me
Saliva works just not for cuttings. saliva works for grafting. If you take a cutting and put it in your mouth right after taking it. It keeps the cutting end from drying out long enough to graft it in place. But no saliva won't work on cuttings. cuttings need to harden off not stay open. Also some of your testing is faulty as to how they are being done. Aloe, honey, and cinnamon are commonly used together. because they have different property's. cinnamon=fungal protection, honey is kinda like plant food, And aloe is actually contrary to popular opinion more to prevent disease. None are actually a rooting hormone. Until you add some thing most people don't have available. Water from soaking weeping willow branch cuttings for the hormone the trees create naturally or some other plant that creates an abundances of growth hormones.. Even onions can be used. But mostly for pests that like attack cuttings. because onions produce a toxin. Your test is faulty because of how your using each. Your trying to put every thing in a nice little box, But you have no concept of how each is being used. But yes a lot of videos have bad information. like one seen other day, sugar, baking soda, and vinegar. fermented. basically had nothing to ferment because no yeast or fruit were added. so basically was PH neutral sugar water. Most people don't have any thing in their homes to use as a rooting hormone. But most people do in their back yards. In most cases its the weed or vine that grows out of control and anchors itself to every thing around. Some thing most people don't know is worm castings have auxins rooting hormones.
I had basil in water some years ago and when they hadn't gotten roots after a week or so I got worried.. Found a video about rooting hormones and tried saliva for fun, next day there were roots! It could've been something else at work and Idk what in that case, maybe the roots craved oxygen or something (I'm no good at plants idk). Would be interesting tho if different species reacted to different things, for ex. cinnamon works well on tomato but not on basil, and saliva works well on basil but not tomato. I'm not saying this is the case but it would be interesting if it was.
What kind of cinnamon did you use? There is different kinds of cinnamon. Was it organic also? And Thank you so much for your video. I just watched a different one that had most of them in it but did not show results!
Super appreciated! Unfortunately the video with misinformation and no proof has 8+ million views 😂 The cinnamon i used was organic. It was labeled 'Vietnamese cinnamon'. I would guess that most cinnamons would work, but have only tested 1 or 2. Best of luck!
Spring Willow bark in a blender with kelp meal infused with honey. Skip the kelp meal to save money. Grow willow trees and raise bees and you have sustainable rooting hormone. You don’t even need the honey if you use it fresh but I need it in fall but the willow bark is better when harvested in spring so the honey is a preserving agent.
Just now (end of January) took some cuttings from thornless blackberries and blueberries to try and root (I'm tired of winter). Can't find my store bought rooting hormone, so was looking on the web for substitutes. Came across your video after reading a lot of "THIS WORKS" on the net. But you showed what did work and what didn't. Going to mix honey and cinnamon and apply to half, just plain water for the other half, see what happens Thanks
I grow thornless blackberries. Take root cuttings. Snip a root near the trunk at ground level. Carefully dig up the roots leading from where you cut. Plant in slightly acidic soil or mix. You'll have a vigorous plant before too long. Much luck to you! 🤞
👍🏻👍🏻 very much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻 I'm new to gardening and I have tried many methods, 😥😥mostly failed. I have a few questions... - what treatment did you do to the cut/ exposed end prior to propagating? - how often do you change the water? Even to your control cutting. - where do you place the cuttings when propagating? 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thank you again 😊
If you hav a fresh water aquarium stick your cuttings in the filter or prop them up with the cuts about an inch deep. Works great. Or aerated compost tea. Time an a clean area and cutting are vital. Much luck 🤞
One issue: what was the cinnamon used? - cassia cinnamon (Chinese cinnamon) or Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) as the first one contains much more toxic coumarin. This would be a nice comparison if this coumarin has something to do
Hey, i know this is old, but for the aloe vera, the process is about 120g blended into a gallon of water (typically pour water out the gallon to 8 oz, blend, strain and pour back in). Soak the cuttings in this solution for ~24 hours and then continue with your cloning method. This allows time for the plant to absorb the nutrient solution which contains the hormones (as well as aminos, and macro/micronutrients).
As per my experience the cutting should be dipped in aloevera solution for a day before putting it in soil. Even in plain water it works. I was going to throw out my banyan bonsai cuttings after giving it hard pruning. Then decided to try out rooting just out of curiosity. I let the cuttings dry out for 2 days and just soaked them in water for a day. The cuttings which looked dry absorbed water and became green with life energy. Then planted them in organic soil. Within few days leaves started to sprout. Perhaps rooting has started and i'm going to leave it there so that plant establishes itself in the soil before i plan to shift it elsewhere.
You are supposed to use the gel of the aloe plant brother like you stated. You scooped maybe one tablespoon or less worth of gel which isn't enough. The aloe cutting should be pretty juice and be big enough to have a decent amount of gel, not as small as the one you used. You scrape the gel out then blend it with a small amount of water/enough to make it just a bit less viscous, like a goopy liquid, then you dip the clone in that blended gel and coat it nicely. From there just plant it directly into a cloning tray or jiffy puck etc. It does work!
Thanks for doing the work man. Here's another method: if you have an established freshwater aquarium and the pH is decent, stick cuttings in the filter or prop them up with the cut in the circulating water. A little light above the cuts. Works great! (With no additional nutrients)

Thanks for doing the work man. Here's another method: if you have an established freshwater aquarium and the pH is decent, stick cuttings in the filter or prop them up with the cut in the circulating water. A little light above the cuts. Works great! (With no additional nutrients)
Great tip thanks for sharing! Aeration definitely helps speed things up
