Can this be used for rooting cuttings? I'm new to gardening and looking for the best rooting product.

I would prefer a powdered rooting compound to start the cuttings. Several are available that contain a rooting hormone.The Superthrive works best after the root system has been established.

There are rooting compounds used to root cuttings, but this can be used in watering during rooting to enhance the rooting.

I would help with that application as it is designed to promote strong roots

Yes, it can. I'd make sure it's plenty diluted- but this stuff really, really works!

In my experience, yes, it is very effective on roots. But I've had saw blades seriously dulled on rocks when cutting close to the ground.

most likely not. It's best use for potting plants topping. Especially bonsai.

I don't see why not. The BloomBoss works great on different kinds of plants that I have.

Tried this product on about two dozen blackberry bush cuttings and none of them made it. From what I understand, it should work on trees if you take a green growing tip, but apparently the rooting process is pretty sensitive to a variety of conditions including temperature, humidity, sunlight and soil/medium type. Warm, humid, partial sunlight and a sterile/inert medium is supposed to work. One person I found puts her cuttings under the exhaust vent of her clothes dryer and that works for her. Another fellow had a little more complicated misting system set up from pvc pipe and nozzles that worked for him. What I do know is that dipping a cutting, sticking it in a pot with some potting soil on a shaded back porch and watering daily doesn't work - or at least it didn't work for me. Hope you have better luck.

yes, but research where to cut, how long, ect ect i believe you only can clone a new years growth anything older might not root fast enough to support itself

Hi, I have never used it for tomato cuttings, but I have successfully used it to help baby orchids grow roots after losing the mother plant. Hopefully someone else will be able to answer about tomatoes. :)

It appears yo be okay for your plant. It says all plants and I have used it for 4 different types. Should be safe

It should. I have used it on numerous citrus, stone fruits, vines and shrubs with success. Try taking spring/summer semi hardwood cuttings and fall/winter hardwood cuttings. The ambient temperature, bottom heat, light spurce, moisture levels and growing media are really key in propagation.

I use it to root in a humidity dome, then plant in soil. works great for both seeds and cuttings. stays moist, sometimes too moist if you mist too often.

I believe you cannot these are intended for rooting purposes only unless you use them in conjunction with the bigger 8 inch blocks and flood tables as soon as roots pop out of these kind you need to plant into coco coir or the soil of your choosing once planted into your growing medium the block will become consumed by the soil and growing root I hope this helps

Depends on how hard. To get all the roots out, wet the area and wait a while. You have to press hard otherwise, possibly damaging the device. If you can readily penetrate the soil with foot action, it will work well.

I would suppose that depends on how closely set the stones are, and whether you can lift them to maneuver the tool. I've lifted deep vines, but if this is a true tap root, one would guess that this would be a time where you might have to add a systemic remedy to kill the root or dig and chop it out. In all likelihood, a deeply set and well grown root is not going to be pulled up with a tool like this. That said, this is a well-made and very effective tool for many purposes.

It should work.. It's actually what I'm planning to do because I'm up in the mountains and we get weather well below freezing in the winter. I'd use a good sized pot and you'll want to trim shrub and roots back probably after the growing season.

Absolutely. Make sure that the soil is damp when you use this. When taking out a deep dandelion root, I find it best to drill in from two sides to loosen it. I've only used the weed claw on my flower bed two times this summer. That's all that I needed. It really made weeding fun.
