ABSTRACT:
A rooting composition is set forth comprising a water swellable gel containing auxin in an amount effective to stimulate root growth, the gel comprising a high molecular weight organic acid, ketone or ester or combinations thereof. Root formation of a cutting is stimulated by planting the cutting in the soil with the aformentioned rooting composition adhered to the portion of the cutting proximal where it was cut from a living plant. The auxins are maintained close to the cutting whereby they are highly effective and the gel serves as an artificial root to bring water and nutrients to the cutting as it develops its own root system.
