General Information

HORMODIN may be used on three types of cuttings;

  • Hardwood: such as Dogwood, Juniper, broadleaf and needle evergreens.
  • Semi-Hardwood: such as broadleaf evergreens and woody ornamentals with firm wood and mature leaves such as Azalea, Rhododendrons, Magnolia and Photinia.
  • Softwood and Succulents: such as Cactus, Fuchsia, Ice Plant and Begonia. Select cuttings from healthy plants. Success is generally best when taking softwood cuttings or “new wood”. Timing is important. Professionals propagate year round but two good times for taking cuttings are:
  • in the fall using mature dormant growth which would be classified as a hardwood or semi-hardwood cutting
  • in the spring when the cutting would be new growth or classified as a softwood cutting. Fertilizer can encourage top growth and may not be used for one week after treatment.

Applications & Uses

Application Technique
Application

Moisten cuttings. If not already moist, the basal ends of the cuttings should be slightly moistened before treatment (except geraniums). Pour a small amount of Hormodin into a bowl or pan. Stir basal ends in Hormodin. Remove excess powder by tapping on rim of container. Plant treated cuttings in satisfactory rooting medium.

  • Dip it
  • Tap it
