Detailed explanation-1: -Rooting hormones increase the chance of your cuttings taking root. What’s more, the root will usually develop quickly and be stronger than when plant-rooting hormones aren’t used.

Detailed explanation-2: -The rooting hormone works on a variety of cuttings, including new growth, woody stems, leaves, and roots to dramatically increase the odds of success with propagation. If the plant is a blooming plant, wait until the blooms fade before taking the cutting.

Detailed explanation-3: -Clip off the leaves on the lower half of the shoot so you have a bare stem to insert into your potting mix. Then, if you want, dip the end of your stem in rooting hormone. This generally helps cuttings root more quickly.

Detailed explanation-4: -During propagation, rooting hormone should be applied immediately before you place your clipping in the soil. For powdered hormones, dip the base of the cutting into the hormone, then shake gently to remove any excess. Place the cutting into moist soil, loosely covering the base.
