Rhizopon offers a range of eight products based on the active substance indolylbutyric acid (IBA), developed to stimulate root formation in cuttings of ornamental crops.
Rooting Powders
Seven ready-to-use rooting powders from the Chryzo and Rhizopon AA product lines are available, with concentrations ranging from 0.1% to 2% indolylbutyric acid.
Application method:
Dip the base of the cutting (1–2 cm) into the powder.
Gently shake off excess powder.
Plant the treated cutting directly into the substrate.
Rhizopon AA Tablets
Rhizopon AA tablets are water-soluble and can be applied in solution using various methods:
Total immersion method: Fully immerse the cuttings in the prepared solution for 5 seconds.
Long soak method: Allow the bottom 2 cm of the cuttings to absorb the solution for at least 12 hours before planting.
Hardwood Cuttings
Hardwood cuttings are taken during the dormant season, when plants have naturally shed their leaves. These leafless cuttings can be treated in winter using the long soak method.
After treatment, hardwood cuttings can be temporarily stored in cold, humid conditions (just above freezing), provided they are protected against dehydration.
Choosing the Right Method and Concentration
The optimal method and concentration for most ornamental crops can be found in the Rooting Guide on this website.
