5 folk remedies that can help you quickly root cuttings

Good rooting of cuttings is an opportunity to quickly obtain roots. But in some plants, root formation is slow.

Therefore, folk methods were invented to speed up the process, available to every gardener.

Aloe juice

Aloe arborescens has a healing and restorative effect, thus providing invaluable benefits to the human body.

However, aloe can also help plants, in particular in the matter of root formation in cuttings. To use the technique, you need to cut off several mature lower leaves with a knife, treated with any disinfectant liquid.

It is believed that the highest concentration of useful substances is contained in aloe, older than 3 years. Cut leaves to increase the benefits should be placed in a cotton cloth and refrigerator for several hours.

Afterwards, you need to squeeze out the juice, add 10 drops to the water where the cutting is, and leave it to act for 2 days. Then you can transplant the plant into the soil.

Honey

Root stimulation is one of the miraculous properties of natural honey. To obtain a solution with the characteristics of a stimulator, it is necessary to dilute one and a half teaspoons of the bee product in one and a half liters of warm water.

It is important to remember that at temperatures above 40 degrees, all the beneficial properties of honey come to naught. The stalk that needs to be stimulated must be placed in a sweet solution, leaving it for 10 hours. After that, it can be left for a couple more days in clean water or immediately transferred to the ground.

Willow infusion

Willow bark contains a substance called salicin. In nature, it acts as a plant hormone that helps to quickly grow roots and increase the germination ability of seeds. The result can be obtained by preparing an infusion from young willow branches cut from a healthy tree.

The branches need to be dipped in cold water until the moment when their buds begin to actively form. Immediately after this, the willow branches need to be removed and replaced with a cutting.

It is worth noting that not only willow has salicin. The substance is present in poplar bark, which can be cut from young shoots, poured with boiling water, infused for a day and the desired cutting placed in it.

Yeast

You can grow roots using regular yeast, which housewives use to make dough. For the method to work, you need to take fresh yeast, about 60 g, dilute it in half a liter of warm water. The resulting mixture is ready. You need to put the cuttings with weak root formation into it.

Stimulation lasts two days, after which the cutting should be washed and placed in clean water until roots appear. But, as a rule, you don’t have to wait long.

Egg white

A simple way to root cuttings, but it has a specific point - the smell, which not all summer residents are ready to tolerate even for the sake of a good result.

For the rooting procedure, you need to take one chicken egg, carefully separate the white from the yolk. Then the white must be mixed with a glass of warm water. The liquid should not curdle the white into a white mass.

Afterwards, the container must be closed with a lid and left for a week. After the specified time, the resulting active mixture must be diluted with water 1:2. The root zone of the cutting already planted in the ground must be watered with egg infusion.

If necessary, you can repeat the procedure after a few days.

Well-developed roots of cuttings are the key to their growth in the soil during transplantation. In order not to doubt the young planting, it is worth using any of the above methods of stimulating root formation, available in components and methods of preparation to every gardener.
