Miracle-Gro FastRoot1 Dry Powder Rooting Hormone: Houseplant and Succulent Propagation, for Rooting House, Foliage, Tropical, and Hardy Ornamental Plants, 1.25 oz

My mother recently passed away and I used this product after taking cuttings of her rose bushes. The rose bushes have significant meaning to me as they had been transplanted from my grandmother's property when she died, with the original bushes being about 80 years old. I took the cuttings and after watching a few YouTube videos I went to it. Much to my delight, all the cuttings are taking root with very little effort. Tips for rooting roses: Be sure the cutting is scuffed up a bit (in the case of roses) to expose what's under the tough, green skin. Remove thorns, leaves and any blooms prior to attempting to have the cutting take root. And make sure the piece is wet before dipping into the FastRoot. Have a container with potting soil ready and holes (made by a pencil - works well) already in the medium so that the least amount of FastRoot is knocked off when placing in the dirt. This product is a good one - better than Clonex which I tried unsuccessfully first. Easy to use and it works as expected.

I have NEVER had a plant fail to thrive when using this product. I am a firm believer in its purpose and performance. Little sprigs that would have never made it without FastRoot now are huge and thriving. Good price and it arrived a day early! The jar is very small so don't be alarmed. It takes only a small amount. I wet the roots then roll them around in the white powder just before planting in a pot or the ground. Root hormone is in my top 10 arsenal of "Go To's". I have taken a cutting with a small hair like root, used FastRoot and the plant flourished all summer. A friend and I also have plants that were repotted at the same time. Some we gave FastRoot and some we did not. By far, the plants given FastRoot performed better all season with faster, fuller growth and more beautiful blooms. It is a must-have if you are a dedicated plant Rehabber. Enjoy your plants this season!

First, I want to point out that I am a newbie to propagation and/or gardening, in general, and a notorious brown thumb type of person. So this is the first brand I have used as well as the first root hormone powder I have used. This was chosen solely on the strength of the Miracle GRO branding as I have successfully used their fertilizers for years. Well, it worked beautifully, despite my more than likely using too much as I did not shake any excess powder off before plugging my starters into potting soil. It wasn't until after I had plugged them in that I had watched a YouTube video demonstration on propagating a different plant that I learned a little goes a long way. Fear that I might have burned the heck out of the little sticks with too much hormones were put to rest, though. I'll definitely be sticking with this product for my propagation needs.

Have established a bucket graden for dragons head moldovia balm milkweed, common sagebrush gipsywort glade purple coneflower sage white that gives off a smell of enchantingly delightful pentrate pentrate emits prayers. Been using 3 part formula for the root hormones coupled with organic fertilizer and bloom booster in the potting soil. This has created for great starts when putting in the full 3 months into bottom potting soil where the seeds sit themselves that enhances the time by decreasing the need to water the growing plants themselves. When the soil is moist with the 3 part forumla underneath as the seed emerges the plants sit themselves in two parts with the roots going into the formula soil while the outer top part sits on the more dry soil area that was placed on top of the seeds as they lay there. Use a combination of Scotts Miracle Gro 100645 Fast Root Hormone, Dr. Earth 707P Organic 8 Bud & Bloom Fertilizer in Poly Bag, 4-Pound, & MG LB Bloom Booster as the 3 part formula. Place the whole 3 month supply of the combined formula at the same time in the soil have been using Michigan Peat 1250 Baccto Premium Potting Soil, 50-Pound. Place the first part the bottom soil in the 5 Gallon White Bucket & Lid - Set of 3 - Durable 90 Mil All Purpose Pail - Food Grade - BPA Free Plastic - usually get 2 sets being a total of 6 buckets and put the seeds on the formula enhanced soil itself with the second part of soil the top soil they grow through. As the soil decreases in moisture the plants are already emerged out from the seeds leaving the remaining amount of liquid content there for the forming plants with the 3 months supply of the 3 part formula already there. Start the bucket garden inside about the last two to three weeks of winter during the start of early Spring. For the beginning part the growing seeds don't need a light source when they are still emerging from the shells themselves. So when the start of growth as the plant emerges with leaf alone use the Miracle-Gro 1001233 All Purpose Plant Food - 5 Pound for the bucket garden. Seeing about the 2nd month into early 3rd month the buckets with the growing seeds and formulated soils have gone almost dry. By that point about early May it is time to put the 6 buckets that make up the bucket garden of dragons head moldovia balm milkweed, common sagebrush gipsywort glade purple coneflower sage white that gives off a smell of enchantingly delightful pentrate pentrate emits prayers outside for the remaining months until September or October.

Since I couldn’t find any reviews of this being used on vining plant clippings in water, I decided to jump in with both feet and test it out. I am happy to announced that it worked for my pothos clippings! Read on for timeline and details. I bought this on the March 27th, I didn’t use it until the 29th. Today is April 6th and all but a couple of my Pothos clippings had their root nodes bud! I dipped each moistened node in the powder and placed them in a glass of room temp water. (See photo.) the water was nasty and gross to look at but I ignored the urge to replace the water for over a week, only refilling it as the water level dropped. When I did replace the water, I did NOT rinse the clippings. I wanted ever RootFast residue that was left on them to keep working it’s magic. I am hoping to be able to plant my clippings in soil by the end of the month. I’ll update then.

I used this product to propagate two hibiscus cuttings. I followed the instructions on the jar closely. One of the cuttings withered within a few days. The other is still alive, but I'm not sure yet if it has actually rooted. I guess time will tell. Anyway it seems like the product has the potential to be effective, but it does not have a 100% success rate. Fortunately there is a lot of powder in the jar and you only need a tiny bit for each cutting. I'd just recommend trying multiple cuttings every time to increase your chances of success.

This stuff is great! I just started to propagate my plants/cuttings and this Fast Root really really works wonderfully. I used it on some and not others at first just to see the difference. In one week I had roots coming out like crazy with the ones I used with this. It’s so good that I add a bit to the soil when I’m planting new plants or even germinating. I’ll be buying more! A little goes a long way!!!

I do a lot of plants in pots, indoors and out. I take lots of leaf and stem cuttings and they really do need a little help during the rooting process. The fast root powder helps them along. This is especially true of my succulents. I especially like MiracleGro products, so this was a perfect fit for me. It is important for me to be able to depend on my cuttings' rooting as I need established young plants at the end of the summer/fall months that can winter in my house and be ready in the Spring for planting in the yard. Otherwise I wind up buying the same plants over again each season. The powder works for me.
