Since many gardeners and vegetable growers prefer natural plant care products, they are constantly looking for new combinations and recipes.
For example, to root cuttings, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , it is not necessary to use artificial means from the store.
The most common honey will do as an effective rooting agent.
Honey water can help improve rooting even in plants that are difficult to propagate, such as grapes or currants.
To prepare the solution, mix 1 tablespoon of honey in 3 liters of water. If the honey is thick, you can pre-dilute it in a small amount of warm water.
It is important to use purified water (rainwater is possible) for rooting cuttings. However, it should not be cold.
The exact time the cuttings need to be in the solution depends on the plant.
So, herbaceous plants and those that root well should spend 24 hours in it, grapes need 2 days, and fruit trees - up to 4 days. When the specified time has passed, plant the cuttings in the soil.
