FAQs
Can this be used on all types of plants?
It is designed for most common house and garden plants, though results may vary depending on the specific plant's requirements.
Do I need to dilute the powder?
No, the powder is ready to use and should be applied directly to the cut end of the stem.
How should I store the leftover powder?
Keep it in its original packaging in a cool, dry, and dark location to maintain its effectiveness.
Is it safe to use on vegetables?
Yes, it is suitable for garden plants, but always wash any edible produce thoroughly before consumption.
Will this powder expire?
While it does not have a strict expiration date, it performs best when used within a reasonable timeframe after opening and kept free from moisture.
Troubleshooting
Cuttings are rotting before rooting
Reduce watering of the propagation medium and ensure there is adequate airflow around the cuttings.
Powder is not sticking to the stem
Ensure the cut end of the stem is slightly moistened with clean water before dipping it into the container.
Roots are not developing after several weeks
Check that the cutting is receiving enough ambient light and warmth; also ensure the plant species is suitable for current seasonal conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, keep the container tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Before application, ensure your propagation medium, such as potting soil or vermiculite, is damp but not waterlogged. The powder is compatible with most standard potting mixes. When handling, avoid direct contact with the eyes and wash hands thoroughly after use. If the powder becomes clumpy due to moisture exposure, discard the affected amount to prevent bacterial growth on your cuttings.
