Miracle-Gro FastRoot Dry Powder Rooting Hormone Jar, 1-1/4-Ounce, 4 Pack

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!

I am impressed at how well this works. I've done a couple of test groups with"easy to propagate" plants and it really speeds up the rooting process ! Pic was taken a month after trimming the original plant. I rooted the cuttings in water first after dipping it in fastroot then moved them into soil after the first week.Works great with herbs too!!

I took three cuttings from fruit trees this spring. I delayed dipping them in the powder and planting them for about 2 hours. The directions say to do it immediately, but I had brought the clippings home from a relatives house. I recommend following the manufacturers directions, and I am happy (and surprised!) to say that all 3 cuttings are doing well. I dipped the cut ends and planted the cuttings in pots using soil from my yard. I watered them thoroughly and it has been about 10 days since they were planted. Two of the three look a little thirsty but are otherwise in great condition. The third is completely upright like it’s been there forever. All three cuttings have retained all of their leaves, so I know that the product is working and that all three of them are taking up water.These three young fruit trees would have cost me $30 each at the store but I got them for the price of the Miracle Grow FastRoot powder. I’m looking around my yard at all of the plants that I’ve wanted more of, but couldn’t find or didn’t want to pay the retail price for. FastRoot will help me to extend my hedgerow, grow a second Magnolia tree, grow new fruit trees and increase the number of blueberry bushes that I have. FastRoot will also allow me to start new heirloom plants that are no longer being sold at nurseries. I’ve even thought about being able to gift fruit trees to friends and family with this product.The product was clean and easy to use. I bought the 1.25 ounce container. From the amount that was used for the three cuttings, I would estimate that I could easily get more than 25 uses out of it. A true money saver.

I love this rooting compound, I've used it with all my cuttings. I just propagated several of my Especias on March 24th and I'm hardening them off this week. They rooted the first week! I kept them in the "incubator" for several weeks to be sure they were strong enough to start the hardening off process. I've started doing it this week, we have some odd, dreary weather and no sunshine or I would have done it last week. They are perfect!

This product works, and works based largely on the type of plant you are trying to root. Soft, fleshy plants work extremely well, developing strong root systems quickly. Cuttings like roses, which are slightly more woody, will depend entirely on what parts of the stem are rooted. If you can do the cutting so there are bud junctures, it will root well. Very woody plants don't do as well, and the results are hit-or-miss at best. That's a function of the biology and not the product.

Awful........should have just rooted my shrimp plant cuttings in water like I have before. Only 10% of my cuttings rooted, and waited for 6 weeks.

Small jar, but you don't need much! Used it to root some lilac cuttings.

This SMALL bottle will propagate countless twigs and cuttings. Use barely a small dusting - not a coating mind you, a VERY tiny dusting, just on one small part of the twig. All of the plants I used with this took root, even the hard to root ones like soft-bodied plants such as catnip, which usually rot or dry out before they take root.
