Rapid root formation allows you to easily and with a high degree of probability propagate your favorite plant.

In order for the cutting to quickly grow roots, there is no need to buy a special preparation. You can use a completely natural and free remedy.

You should turn to the willow for help. How can it help? The whole secret is in the substance contained in the bark. Salicin is a natural compound from which salicylic acid was once extracted.

For plants, it is a natural phytohormone that increases seed germination and stimulates root formation.

The volume depends on the needs. You can get by with a glass, or you can prepare a small bucket. Of course, the number of branches depends on this.

The willow is left in the container until roots appear on the branches. When this happens, the branches are removed and cuttings are put in their place.

Note

A similar remedy can be prepared from poplar branches. Young branches are cut into 7-8 cm pieces and poured with boiling water, then infused in a dark place for 12 hours, after which they are filtered and the cuttings are placed.
