Dip&Root™
Dip&Root™ is a growth stimulating hormone solution designed to promote quick and robust root growth in plant cuttings. The product contains Indole-3 Butyric Acid (IBA) as the active ingredient, which is a synthetic auxin that aids in the development of new roots, and Napthyl Acetic Acid (NAA). The two active ingredients work together to enhance the rooting of the cutting and to promote vegetative growth. In other words, the cutting is pushed from the bottom and pulled from the top to promote maximum growth.
Dip&Root™ is commonly used in the fruit tree industry, forestry, rose growers and in general nurseries. It is suitable for a variety of plants, including those that are difficult to propagate by cuttings. The solution can be used on both woody and herbaceous plants, and it is particularly effective for hardwood cuttings. The IBA concentration in the solution helps the cutting to establish roots quickly and more abundantly, leading to faster growth and better overall health of the plant.

Use & Applications
Dip&Root™ is easy to use, and should be used as directed below:
- Shake before use, and only mix as required
- To use Dip&Root™, simply dip the cutting in the solution and then plant it in soil or a rooting medium.
- For Softwood Cuttings: Mix 20 parts of water with 1 part of Dip&Root™
- For Semi-hardwood Cuttings: Mix 10 parts of water with 1 part of Dip&Root™
- For Hardwood Cuttings: Mix 5 parts of water with 1 part of Dip&Root™
Important points to remember when applying Dip&Root™ to your cuttings:
- Dip&Root™ is suited to softwood to hardwood plant cuttings, and the correct concentrations should be mixed for each type of cutting (See above mixing indications)
- Overstimulation may injure the cutting, under stimulation from too weak a stimulant may give no beneficial result. Refer to the recommended list of plants.
- The size of the cutting should be governed by the species and method of propagation, i.e. softwood, semi-hardwood, or hardwood.
- Lateral shoots from the current year’s growth are usually the most reliable and are best taken at a node or joint, or at the base of a shoot, and with the lower leaves removed.
- Suitable rooting media include:
- Sand
- Sand & peat
- Sand, peat & loam
- Gentle bottom heat in the rooting medium will improve and hasten the effect of the rooting hormone if the plants are naturally dormant or the growth is slow.
- Cuttings consisting of the shoots of deciduous plants (plants or trees that seasonally shed leaves), normally strike best if taken about 3 to 6 months after the new season’s growth commences.
Testimonials
“…We started using your Dip & Root rooting stimulant and so far have excellent results.
Your price is also very competitive. Hope we can do a lot of business in the future.“ – Leon Scholtz, Bristle Cone Wholesale Nursery
“Hereby and indication of the results we reached with using Dip & Root on Plumbago Capensis blue (Cape Plumbago). We never could get a striking rate of more than 30% on Plumbago. With the Dip & Root, we obtained a 90% rooting, which is excellent.“ – Johan Retief, Malmesbury Nursery
“Trials with Dip & Root were executed at our Abercrombie Forestry Nursery of the Ministry of Agriculture, to evaluate the effect of Dip & Root, for the propagation of ornamental cuttings.
The results obtained, have shown that Dip & Root gave a higher take in cuttings such as Laurel, Ficus and Bougainvillea as compared to the control (traditional rooting hormone, used at the nursery. “ – Mrs. I Rama, Agricultural Research and Extension Unit – Mauritius Dept. of Agriculture
