FREE GIFT:
Now including a willow twig with
each purchase to make willow water!!! We will include as many willow
twigs as many cuttings you buy.
Willow Water is a homemade plant
rooting hormone that is easily prepared and can be used to increase the strike
rate (growth of roots) of cuttings that we’re trying to propagate.
Steps:
1. Take the twigs and cut them up
into short pieces around 2.5cm (1″) long.
2. Place the chopped willow twigs
into a container
3. To extract the natural plant
rooting hormones, either fill the jar with boiling water to cover the twigs,
just like making tea, and allow to stand overnight; or use unheated tap water
and allow to soak for several days.
4. Separate the liquid from the
willow twigs by pouring through a strainer or sieve. The willow water is now
ready to use for rooting cuttings.
To use willow water for propagating
cuttings, pour some into a small jar, and place the cuttings in there like
flowers in a vase, and leave them there to soak overnight for several hours so
that they take up the plant rooting hormone. The cuttings can then be put into
a propagating medium and prepared in the usual way to grow roots.
The second way to use willow water
is to use it to water the propagating medium into which the cuttings have been
inserted. Watering the cuttings twice with willow water should be enough to
help them root.
Once the fig cutting is planted,
willow water can also use as natural fertilizer to water your plant. the
willow will help root growth in the ground.
