Honey is simply an irreplaceable assistant for rooting cuttings. Its presence in the solution has a beneficial effect on active growth and the rapid emergence of lower shoots. In addition, honey has disinfectant properties that help prevent infection of plants with pathogenic microorganisms.
Gardeners may argue about which concentration of honey solution is most effective. However, usually 1 teaspoon of honey per 1 liter of water is used to root cuttings. To make honey dissolve faster, it can be diluted in a small amount of warm water, and then topped up with cool water.
The cuttings should be dipped into this solution, they can stay there from 1 to 24 hours, this allows them to absorb all the necessary active biological substances. For trees and shrubs, this process may take longer than for herbaceous plants. After the cuttings have rooted, they can be planted in the ground.
To stimulate the growth of cuttings and prevent infection by pathogenic microorganisms, you can use a honey solution. It is easily washed off the surface and helps to maintain the health of plants.
