In this experiment how I used Fresh Aloe Vera Gel as a magic rooting hormone or the organic rooting hormone stimulant on two bougainvillea cuttings and also used Indole Butyric acid and Cinnamon Powder as controls. You will see this complete experiment using this DIY rooting hormone with results step by step. Stay tuned…
Well, Actually I have performed this experiment twice and both times I was successful with 100 percent success rate in the most recent one.
Well before Starting the experiment, the scientific basis or the concept of using aloe vera gel as a rooting stimulant to grow plants from cuttings. To keep it short, we all know that the natural rooting stimulant or anti-inflammatory substance responsible for rooting is salicylic acid and that’s it. Aloe gel contains this useful substance along with other useful enzymes, amino acids, saponins and minerals like calcium, manganese, magnesium and zinc.
Step 1: First of all we shall prepare a Fresh Aloe Vera Gel Rooting hormone. Pick a Fresh Aloe leaf and peel the green layer with a knife and find the magic rooting hormone gel inside. Carefully take out the gel into a container and make into a watery mixture – you can also use a hand blender for this job and also add small amount of water if you want.
Step 2: Choose your plant cuttings. And mind you! this works on any plant. I have chosen four bougainvillea cuttings for this experiment. I have followed all the other universal tips or hacks involved in growing successful cuttings like 45 degree cutting angles, stripping the leaves, sealing the top end with candle wax and so on.. You can follow my video on these Hacks in a separate video from the card link at the top right corner of the video.
Well now coming to Step 3: Choose a loose growing medium like coco-peat or sandy soil for the ease of root development. First make holes like these before you insert cuttings. I am inserting two of these cuttings by dipping them thoroughly in aloe vera rooting gel. Also for much better results, keep your cuttings soaked in aloe vera gel for about 6 hours.
Then am also keeping two controls for the experiment, One cutting am dipping in cinnamon powder and another in the indole butyric acid that is the chemical rooting hormone powder.
Step4: Finally spray some water to keep the soil moist, another hack here is, you can even mix the remaining aloe vera gel in water and water this container with the solution.
Now the Time For results: You can see the surprising results after 30 days – that’s really fast, young leaves have started their growth. Also one more thing, is I have done a similar experiment with aloe gel 3 months ago on this plant cuttings and you can see the results – though not 100 percent successful, there is one successful result
So there we have it folks, That was our interesting experiment on the magic rooting of cuttings using aloe vera gel.
