    Honestly I stopped using it and it’s done the same for me really

      And too much time for another step that may or may not help much so I ditched it. Maybe I’ll try it again in future. So just wanted to share that it’s def not a must so it’s okay if you don’t have it! :)

    Yeah, I don’t use rooting hormone either personally. I kinda like Superthrive as a liquid additive to water, but I don’t think I’d say I swear by it 🤔 I should probably do a comparison test at some point to see if it really does something for my propagations 😂 I WAS swearing by keiki paste, but I read some more on how it can cause improper diversion of the plant’s energy if it’s not used in a certain way with certain plants. So I’m planning on reading more about it and reevaluating how I use it

    Personally I use cinnamon for cuttings. It has natural rooting hormone and is pretty cheap. I also add Bach flowers ( herbalism tincture that calms the body’s stress response ) I do that when I repot or take a cutting. I don’t know if it works but I use it! 😂

      Do you just tap cinnamon onto the bottom of the cut stem? TXS🌺

      Would you then soak in water, or would you plant the cinnamon coated cutting? #newbie

    Your choice! Depends on the plant.
