All Natural Rooting Hormone Using Willow Twigs (Salix spp.)

[Observant]

An easy way to obtain a working and all natural Rooting Hormone from a Common Tree is the following:

Cut freshly grown willow twigs into 1 cm large pieces - Cover it with water and let it soak for 24 .
Take your clones with a sharp knife and immediately place in willow water .
Soak your rooting substrate with willow water and place the Clones in Rooting Environment.

It works !

Willow twigs have high levels of Rooting Inducing Substances - they work for your other Plants as well ( especially Cannabis )



Enjoy

I've always wanted to try this but I never came to actually doing it.

It good to hear it really works! I love your garden advice Observant.

Thanks .

For Cannabis this Method works as good as Clonex .
The Only downside is that you can only use it in summer ..

For some applications the sterile Rooting Hormones might be better - But using willow twigs in most cases is the most fulfilling way (;

I think one can also use dilluted Willow Water as Root Stimulator for plants that already have roots.

works great for headaches to willow was first sorce of asprin. One of my fav looking as well weeping willow. Just dont plant it near pipes it will clog them and cost $$$$$ repairs this tree can do some damage. It loves swamps and water. New trees easly start from cuttings.
