Hormodin 2 Rooting Hormone Powder - 0.3% IBA - 1lb

IBA Rooting Powder for Woody Ornamental Cuttings, 0.3%

Woody and semi-woody cuttings, including many evergreens, root more slowly and less reliably than soft herbaceous stock, and an under-strength hormone dip can leave a propagation bench full of cuttings that never take. Hormodin 2 steps up to a 0.3% IBA concentration specifically for that harder-rooting woody and semi-woody category, using the same fast dip-and-stick application as the rest of the line.

This 1lb container sits in the middle of the Hormodin concentration range, formulated for woody and semi-woody ornamentals and select evergreens rather than the easy-rooting softwood stock Hormodin 1 is built for.

Key Features & Benefits

• 0.3% IBA concentration — a mid-strength dose matched to woody and semi-woody plant material.
• Formulated for woody ornamentals and select evergreens — a step up from Hormodin 1's herbaceous-plant formulation.
• Dip-and-stick application — no mixing or soaking, apply directly to the cut end.
• Reduces propagation bench time and plant loss — a properly matched hormone concentration improves rooting consistency on harder-to-root stock.

Who Should Use This

This fits growers propagating woody and semi-woody ornamentals, including select evergreens, who need a stronger hormone dose than soft herbaceous cuttings require but not the maximum concentration reserved for the most difficult-to-root varieties.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply Hormodin 2

Dip the cut end of the cutting directly into the powder, tap off the excess, and stick it into your rooting medium. The dip-and-stick method skips any mixing or soaking step, which keeps propagation moving on a busy bench.

What plants call for Hormodin 2 instead of Hormodin 1

Hormodin 2 is formulated at 0.3% IBA for woody and semi-woody ornamentals, including select evergreens, that don't root as readily as the soft herbaceous cuttings Hormodin 1 targets. If a cutting is coming from lignified or semi-hardwood stock, the stronger concentration is generally the better match.

What is the re-entry interval for Hormodin 2

The labeled REI is 0 hours, so there's no mandatory wait before re-entering a treated propagation area. Review the complete label for the full application and handling directions.

Can Hormodin 2 be used on the most difficult-to-root varieties

It can be used on many woody and semi-woody plants, but the most difficult-to-root varieties and dormant leafless cuttings are specifically what Hormodin 3's 0.8% concentration is formulated for. Matching concentration to how hard a cutting roots is part of getting a consistent take rate across a propagation run.
