Dip 'n Grow, 1 gal (Case of 4)

Liquid Rooting Hormone Concentrate with IBA and NAA Auxins

Dip 'n Grow is a liquid concentrate rooting hormone used to stimulate root development in cuttings. It contains two proven root-inducing plant hormones — IBA (indole-3-butyric acid) and NAA (1-naphthaleneacetic acid) — in an alcohol solvent that serves as the carrier and dilution medium.

Propagators dilute Dip 'n Grow with water to the required strength for the specific plant species and cutting type. The alcohol base makes the formula self-sanitizing: each cutting introduced into the solution does not cross-contaminate subsequent cuttings. This property is particularly important in commercial propagation environments where large numbers of cuttings are processed through the same rooting hormone solution.

Key Features & Benefits

• Two Auxin Formula — Contains both IBA and NAA root-inducing auxins for reliable rooting across a wide range of plant species.
• Liquid Concentrate — Dilute with water to the appropriate concentration for the species and cutting type.
• Self-Sanitizing — Alcohol solvent prevents cross-contamination between cuttings dipped in the same solution.
• Used in Commercial Propagation — Marketed to nursery and university propagation programs running high cutting volumes.
• Economical Large-Format — Case of 4 x 1-gallon jugs for commercial propagation volume at reduced per-unit cost.
• Adjustable Concentration — Dilution ratio is adjustable, allowing different strengths for different plant varieties.

Who Should Use This Product

Dip 'n Grow is suited for commercial nurseries, propagation facilities, and serious growers who produce cuttings at scale. Its liquid concentrate format, self-sanitizing properties, and dual-auxin formula make it practical for high-volume propagation environments. The case of four 1-gallon jugs provides sufficient volume for commercial operations.

IBA and NAA: Why Two Auxins Work Better Together

IBA (indole-3-butyric acid) and NAA (1-naphthaleneacetic acid) are both synthetic auxin compounds that stimulate adventitious root formation in plant cuttings. IBA is typically considered the primary rooting hormone due to its stability and broad effectiveness. NAA provides complementary activity on species where IBA alone may produce slower results. The combination of both auxins in Dip 'n Grow broadens the effective species range and can improve consistency of rooting results across diverse propagation programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I dilute Dip 'n Grow?

Dilute Dip 'n Grow with water to the concentration appropriate for the plant species and cutting type. Refer to the product label's dilution tables, since softwood, semi-hardwood, and hardwood cuttings typically call for different strengths.

Why is the self-sanitizing property important?

In commercial propagation, many cuttings are dipped in the same hormone solution over the course of a work session. Without self-sanitizing properties, pathogens can transfer from one cutting to another through that shared solution, and the alcohol base of Dip 'n Grow prevents this cross-contamination.

What does this case contain?

This listing is for a case of 4 x 1-gallon jugs of Dip 'n Grow liquid rooting hormone concentrate. That volume is intended for commercial or high-frequency propagation use rather than occasional home cuttings.

What are IBA and NAA?

IBA (indole-3-butyric acid) and NAA (1-naphthaleneacetic acid) are synthetic plant auxins that stimulate adventitious root formation in cuttings. Dip 'n Grow combines both so a single formula covers a broader range of plant species than either auxin alone.

Is Dip 'n Grow appropriate for commercial use?

Yes, Dip 'n Grow is marketed to commercial nurseries and university propagation programs. The 1-gallon case format and adjustable dilution ratio support high-volume propagation across varied plant species.
