Honey is widely know as an organic stimulator of root growth in some cuttings.
There are also many commercial "Rooting Hormone" products available in powder, gel and liquid forms. These can usually be found at garden centres or plant nurseries.
Not all plants respond to these products.
More importantly choosing the right parts of the plant for your cutting material, correct timing, correct soil medium, correct light levels and correct moisture will determine success with cuttings.

How can I encourage my monstera plant to sprout roots?
To encourage your monstera plant to sprout roots, you can propagate it by taking a cutting with at least one node and placing it in water or a moist soil mix. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment with indirect sunlight, and change the water regularly if propagating in water. This will help stimulate root growth and establish a new plant.
Why do plant stems need to be dipped in plant hormone in order to be cloned?
Plant hormone is used to stimulate the growth of roots on the stem, allowing it to develop into a new plant. This process is called propagation, where plant cells are triggered to differentiate and form roots for successful cloning.
How does the process of propagating plants in water work?
Propagating plants in water involves placing a plant cutting in water until it develops roots. The cutting absorbs water and nutrients, stimulating root growth. Once roots form, the cutting can be transferred to soil for further growth.
What precautions can a gardener take so that chemical fertilizers stimulate plant growth without damaging plant roots when the concentration is too high?
Dilution and supplemental irrigation are precautions that a gardener can take so that chemical fertilizers stimulate plant growth without damaging plant roots when the concentration is too high.Specifically, a too high concentration can be corrected by diluting the fertilizer to its correct concentration. A supplemental watering schedule can be put into effect. Adequate soil moisture levels help plant roots take in too highly concentrated fertilizers.
How can I propagate a Hawaiian ti plant?
To propagate a Hawaiian ti plant, you can cut a healthy stem from the plant and place it in water or soil to encourage root growth. Make sure the cutting has at least one node, which is where the roots will develop. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment and water it regularly until roots form. Transplant the cutting into a pot with well-draining soil once roots are established.
How can I propagate a cane plant effectively?
To propagate a cane plant effectively, you can cut a healthy stem from the plant and place it in water or soil to encourage root growth. Make sure the cutting has at least one node, which is where roots will develop. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment and water it regularly until roots form. Transplant the cutting into a pot with well-draining soil once roots are established.
How can I encourage my Monstera plant to grow more aerial roots?
To encourage your Monstera plant to grow more aerial roots, you can increase humidity levels around the plant, mist the leaves regularly, provide a support structure for the plant to climb on, and avoid overwatering to stimulate root growth.
How do plant hormones control the growth of roots and shoots?
Auxin controls the growth of the plant. Auxin in the roots of the plant inhibits growth whereas in the stems in the stems it encourages growth.
How can you propagate Wandering Jew by using water?
To propagate Wandering Jew using water, you can simply place a cutting of the plant in a container of water until roots develop. Once roots have formed, you can then transfer the cutting to soil for further growth.
How can I successfully propagate a ti plant?
To successfully propagate a ti plant, you can take stem cuttings from a healthy plant, remove the lower leaves, and place the cutting in water or soil to encourage root growth. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment and provide regular watering until roots develop. Transplant the cutting into a well-draining potting mix once roots are established.
How can I propagate a dracaena plant from its leaves?
To propagate a dracaena plant from its leaves, you can cut a healthy leaf from the plant and place it in water or soil to encourage root growth. Make sure the cutting has a node, which is where the roots will develop. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment and wait for roots to form before transplanting it into a pot with well-draining soil.
What would happen if a root of a water plant is missing?
If a root of a water plant is missing, the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients from the soil would be compromised. This can lead to stunted growth, wilting, and ultimately the death of the plant if it cannot establish a sufficient root system to support itself. Regular root pruning can stimulate new root growth to help compensate for missing roots.
