Hortus USA would like to clarify some misconceptions about our products used to make rooting solutions. Hortus IBA Water Soluble Salts and Rhizopon AA Water Soluble Tablets are US EPA labeled showing the active ingredient IBA (indole-3-butyric acid). THESE PRODUCTS ARE FORMULATED WITH IBA TO BE SOLUBLE IN WATER. The resulting solution is the same as if made using technical K-IBA except Hortus IBA Water Soluble Salts solutions are buffered close to pH NEUTRAL; K-IBA solutions yield an acidic solution.
Use the Rhizopon AA or Hortus rooting solution at the same concentration as technical IBA or K-IBA, or the same IBA concentration as commercial alcohol based premixed rooting solutions. Rhizopon AA Water Soluble Tablets and Hortus IBA Water Soluble Salts rooting solutions NEVER HAVE ALCOHOL BURN because the are dissolved in ordinary water. The same rooting solutions can by used by Spray Drip Down, Total Immerse, Basal Quick Dip and Basal Long Soak. The methods and rates are different but the products used are the same.
Regarding AA #1,#2 and #3 dry dip rooting powders, growers know that they are better for rooting of cuttings than rooting solutions for many plant varieties. Our Rhizopon AA powders are especially useful for winter cuttings or hard to root cuttings.
