»Today we will look into 10 different natural rooting hormones or root stimulating substances that can be easily used for plant cloning in gardening. Cloning means multiplying plants from cuttings. We will also show you how you can make the most powerful formula by mixing one or more of these substances. In horticulture, Cloning means making duplicate plants out of branch or stem cuttings from a mother plant. It is a great way to multiply a plant, specially if it’s a rare variety or very precious to you or if you wanna gift some plants to your friends and neighbours. The simplest way of cloning a plant is just pinching a small branch or stem cutting and inserting it into the soil. But, the success rate of this cutting is generally low. If you want to increase the success rate, then you need to follow certain simple rules to accelerate the root formation and increase the success rate of cloning. Most plant cuttings will naturally produce their own rooting hormones after a short period of time. Actually, many plants can be easily cloned by simply placing the cutting in some clean water and following some simple rules. You can watch a detailed episode on the 10 Golden rules of cloning from the end screen link at the end of this episode. Rooting hormones can be natural or synthetic chemicals and contain Indole butyric acid (IBA) and naphthalene acetic acid (IBA). IBA is the natural plant auxin or hormone responsible for the stimulation or the formation of roots. If you are purchasing these commercial rooting hormone powders, make sure you check composition on the label to contain atleast one of these compounds.«

To increase on the rooting ability of cuttings, rooting hormones are applied and this reduces on the drying percentage of the cuttings.
As cloning involves duplicating plants from branch or stem cutting from mother plant, rooting hormones are either natural or synthetic chemicals which contain indole butyric acid and naphthalene acetic acid (IBA)

Rooting hormones

As IBA is a hormone for root stimulation, human saliva or animal‘s prevent cuttings from rot and stimulates root formation. Insert cuttings into saliva and put back into the soil for root formation, equally for apple cider vinegar, add 5 drops with 0.5 cup of water and dip the end of cutting before planting.
Similarly for cinnamon powder, insert an inch of cutting end into powder and then put back to soil and equally for willow bark, make willow tea and put cuttings into it before planting them.
For honey, dont directly insert cuttings into it to prevent insects that is to say add 1 tea spoon honey to 2 cups of boiling water, stir, cool it down and then insert cuttings . Additionally for Aloe Vera gel, dip cuttings into gel and plant into soil and finally for asprin tablet, crash it into powder, add water, mix and dip cuttings.
