Hormodin 1 Rooting Hormone Powder - 0.1% IBA - 1lb

Hormodin 1 Rooting Hormone - 0.1% IBA Powder for Roses, Carnations, Poinsettias, And Most Soft Herbaceous Plants

Hormodin 1 is a professional-grade IBA (Indole-3-butyric acid) rooting hormone powder at 0.1% concentration, developed for roses, carnations, poinsettias, and most soft herbaceous plants. Used by commercial propagators and nursery operations for decades, Hormodin reduces propagation bench time, lowers plant loss rates, and delivers consistent performance across large volumes of cuttings. The powder format prevents disease migration between cuttings - unlike gel or liquid rooting products where cross-contamination between dipped cuttings is possible. With a re-entry interval (REI) of zero hours, Hormodin can be applied and used without waiting periods on the propagation bench.

Key Features & Benefits

• 0.1% Indole-3-Butyric Acid (IBA): A proven plant growth regulator concentration calibrated for roses, carnations, poinsettias, and most soft herbaceous plants - sufficient IBA to stimulate vigorous rooting without over-application that can inhibit root formation at the cut site.
• Zero Disease Migration: Powder application eliminates the cross-contamination risk present in shared gel or liquid rooting products. Each cutting contacts only the powder it picks up on dipping - no shared carrier fluid between cuttings.
• Reduces Propagation Bench Time: Faster root initiation means rooted cuttings move off the propagation bench sooner, improving throughput and reducing space requirements during peak propagation periods.
• Lowers Plant Loss: More consistent root formation across a batch reduces propagation failures and the cost of lost cuttings and growing space.
• REI: 0 Hours: No re-entry interval - the propagation bench can be accessed immediately after application without waiting periods.
• Simple Dip-and-Stick Application: Dip the cut stem in powder and stick directly into propagation media - no mixing, dilution, or special equipment required.

Who Should Use This

Commercial propagators, greenhouse operations, and nurseries propagating roses, carnations, poinsettias, and most soft herbaceous plants will find Hormodin 1 a reliable, straightforward option for professional-scale rooting programs. Its powder format and zero REI make it practical for high-throughput propagation benches where speed and disease control both matter.

Compatibility

Hormodin 1 is compatible with standard propagation media including perlite, vermiculite, peat-based mixes, rockwool, and rooting cubes. Use according to label directions. Signal word: Caution. For use on un-rooted cuttings. Restricted Entry Interval: 0 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IBA concentration in Hormodin 1?

Hormodin 1 contains 0.1% Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) - calibrated for roses, carnations, poinsettias, and most soft herbaceous plants. Hormodin 1 (0.1% IBA) suits soft herbaceous plants; Hormodin 2 (0.3% IBA) is for woody and semi-woody plants; Hormodin 3 (0.8% IBA) is for difficult-to-root varieties and dormant leafless cuttings.

How many cuttings does one pound of Hormodin treat?

One pound of Hormodin rooting powder treats approximately 35,000 cuttings at standard application rates.

Why is powder better than gel or liquid for disease control?

With powder application each cutting contacts only the powder it picks up on dipping - there is no shared carrier fluid. Gel and liquid products where multiple cuttings are dipped into the same container can transfer pathogens between cuttings. Hormodin powder eliminates this cross-contamination pathway.

Is there a waiting period after applying Hormodin?

No. Hormodin carries a re-entry interval (REI) of 0 hours - the propagation area can be used immediately after application.
