The hormones in rooting cuttings
Lorenzo "Lollo" Baby 
Today we will explain to all those who have just approached the world of the cuttings and they wanted to play in their own garden, conservatory or indoor space without some plants from seed to use for what is useful for a safe and fast rooting.
There are many different chemical products and extraction organic that used with a precise technique (the pennellamento of the base of cuttings) serve to promote the engraftment and then the consequent rooting of our cuttings.
These products are known or are known as rooting hormones; help the cuttings from plants that are difficult or unsuitable to 100% of the cuttings develop roots first. Also a correct hormonal treatment will also help in the growth phase the cuttings to remain sound and predisposed to an excellent growth.
Until some time ago were much in vogue extracts in powder, but in recent years have taken their foot on the very ease of use and effectiveness of the gel as the famous Clonex activators, which serve to stimulate the plant to produce roots immediately after cutting, or the Rhizotonic ie hormones liquids. These are available in both bio-mineral and organic growth in the first week of our cuttings, diluted in water at acid pH (6/6.5) will ensure a significant and rapid root development.
What is the best known hormone and plant origin?
Auxin: This is a set of compounds called phytohormones also equipped with hormonal properties.
The phytohormones: a phytohormone is an organic compound natural synthesized in a second time from the plant, that will influence the processes of growth.
The synthetic auxins: it is these that concern us more closely, forming the staple product for rooting cuttings mentioned above, for they act as growth regulators, changing the rhythm and the period of root growth. Are widely used in agronomy to produce ripe fruits, and consistent and in agriculture as fungicides and thinning.

Cuttings can be taken at any time from a healthy plant in the growth phase, and must be rooted in damp, warm and sheltered.
Once rooted seedlings are comparable, then you can put them in the ground in the specific season for the variety you're growing (usually spring).
They are delicate, so no direct sunlight, and should be sheltered from the rain.

I have done hundreds of cuttings with hormone powder that I find most 'and not even remember the nome.So only that it was dangerous to handle and inhale and eyes. I used a mask, and pennellavo the base of the cuttings. I once did an experiment, I put the seeds into a container and added a dash of water and a little of the hormone. I kept it in a drawer, the morning after the seed had germinated. Incredible.
