Welcome to another episode of Hydroponics Daily! In this enlightening discussion, we delve into the world of hormone powders and gels, critical aides in rooting plant cuttings. However, with a myriad of products on the market, it's vital to discern which products are genuinely beneficial and which are mere gimmicks.
We take a closer look at common plants like tomatoes and basil, which often don't require rooting hormones to thrive, and explore how certain plants, like rhododendrons, benefit significantly from these products. We also uncover the science behind rooting hormones, highlighting the role of auxins and the importance of proper storage and application.
Moreover, the episode sheds light on the potential risks of misapplying these products, such as the use of rooting gels on plants with existing roots, which can be detrimental. With insights on various plant needs and safety protocols, this episode is a must-listen for both novice and seasoned horticulturists seeking to enhance their hydroponics practice effectively.
