Propagation using superthrive

17 years ago

Has anyone ever used this product when trying to create their cuttings of passiflora? Superthrive. It has helped me start many plants that are otherwise difficult. i take my cutting and dip it in pure superthrive first, (sometimes whole cutting, instructions indicate it helps) and then the end I'm going to sink into soil into root tone. Sphagnum moss has always helped me with propagation too. Not the ground peat, the actual moss. Any thoughts on this?

I've never used it, but it sounds promising. I've had my best luck using liquid Dip 'n Grow and planting the cuttings in starter pots with a 50/50 peat/Pearlite mix. Some passi species seem willing to root if you just look at them funny, while others refuse no matter how hard you try. I've yet to figure any rhyme or reason to it...

jblaschke,
I've just tried it with one cutting this afternoon. I'm without root tone until Friday, but am going to try my experiment anyway. I also changed the 'soil" to sharp sand with less peat. I'll keep all informed on what happens. The passiflora is the vitifolia. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed! :)

I use Superthrive and or Thrive Alive with B1 for all my cuttings and transplants (all types of plants). I absolutely believe it helps.
