The Role of Rooting Powders
Before you cut the clones from mother plants, note that rooting hormones are critical for the process. Your clone must have the right proportion of hormones so that it can move toward the rooting process. To boost the rooting hormones, many growers take the help of rooting powders.
When you apply rooting powder to your clone, you not only aid the rooting process but also seal the cut area. When applying it to the clone, you have to be generous, as most of the powder will fall off. Make sure your clone is perfectly coated before you place it in the cloning machine or propagation tray.
Please note that it is not mandatory to use rooting powder on cuttings. It is definitely not as necessary as a cloning and rooting gel. Without applying the powder, the process will be slow, but it will not stop.
