Willow (Salix) branches are rich in the hormones indolebutyric acid (IBA), which stimulates rooting, and salicylic acid (SA), which protects the cutting from fungi and bacterial infections. Just cut up some willow twigs, cover in boiling water and let sit overnight, strain, and you have willow water to promote root growth! You can soak cuttings in the water 24 hours or water cuttings you are trying to root. #propogation #propogationtips #farm #farmlife #farmingtips #gardening #gardeningtips #pla
