Customers find the rooting powder effective, particularly for hydrangeas and cuttings, noting it promotes quick root development within 14 days. The product is easy to use and offers good value for money. However, functionality and plant survival receive mixed reviews - while some report 100% success rates, others find it ineffective, and some report their plants dying.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2025Size: 1.25 ozVerified PurchaseI love flowers!! Using this powder to push roots out of cuttings is great!!! Definitely gets the job done!! Very easy to use.... The smell is a title funky but acceptable. I succeeded a couple of times already...
- Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2025Size: 1.25 ozVerified PurchaseThis jaded gardener is very happy with the quickly developing, profuse roots on clippings from some previously recalcitrant plants that simply refused to root in plain water or damp soil.
I even cut a languishing, leafless philodendron strand into single joint segments, dusted with this product, put in water— and they’ve all begun rooting in only three days. Oh, and nearly all eight segments are throwing out leaves as well.
(For the record, I have the offspring of the dieffenbachia my father gave my mother in 1964, so my reluctant-to-root plants haven’t been for lack of a green thumb—but this product sure enhances what I’m able to propagate among my greenery.)

- There was no seal on the bottle. Not sure if this was intentional, but I like that I don’t have to fight the bottle.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2025Size: 1.25 ozVerified PurchaseThe best thing for gardenrs who can't have enough plants! like me 😀. This brand works great, very functional, the powder lasts for ever, and your cutting will root out quickly. The size of bottlenose generous, lots of powder. Growh rate is about 90 percent successful.
I take thick cuttings from my rose bushes and propogate rhem with this powder, works every time. The powder is thick, so it sticks to your cutting well.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2025Size: 1.25 ozVerified PurchaseHave a plant that is going to 25 years old that wasn't doing well. The plant did have a couple of healthy pieces. Bought this rooting powder to try on some cuttings, using some self watering plants, also purchased on AMAZON. We got all of the clippings to root and have transplanted to a larger pot, hopefully to get another 25 years out of it. One thing you have to do is keep the clippings moist as the directions state and you should have good luck. The plants grew quickly and are healthy.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2024Size: 1.25 ozVerified PurchaseThe consistency of the product is fine. Can sprinkle over roots fine. The product is similar to ash, in my opinion. I ordered 3 bottles. I was happy to find that there was no secondary seal, as pulling on and trying to remove such might spill the product. There is some residual dust in the air when sprinkling which seems like a waste. The thing that most disappointed me is the bottle was just a tad more than half full. In fact, I was able to take all 3 bottles and fill one bottle with the product and discard the two empty containers right away. I felt jipped! I'd rather pay more and get a full bottle than pay for plastic I'm just going to immediately throw away. PLEASE COMPLETELY FILL THE BOTTLE BEFORE SENDING IT TO YOUR CUSTOMERS! THANK YOU!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2025Size: 1.25 ozVerified PurchaseAbsolutely works on cuttings. For the price every gardener should keep a bottle just to help move around the plants you have and love around the yard
