Review: Worked better on dragonfruit than any product I’ve previously used - Used this Hormex #8 to root a heap of dragon fruit cuttings and had significant root growth on 27 out of 30 cutting in 2 weeks. Without rooting hormone I’d be lucky to get this amount of growth in 8 weeks. Got recommended Hormex #8 by a large scale dragonfruit grower and I’ll say he wasn’t wrong. Thought I’d give this a try on some Hoya cuttings that also generally take a while to root and I had roots pushing through in 3-5 days which was way above and beyond my wildest expectations. East to use, extremely happy with the results. Big fan of this #8. Rarely give 5 star reviews but I truly believe this product deserves the highest rating possible. Blew away my expectations by a lot based on my decades of experience with other rooting hormone products. My grading scale My ratings are based on one or more of the following characteristics. Please note I consider 4 stars a very high rating. * 1 Star - unsatisfactory - poor quality - misleading or false ad copy - would not recommend to anyone * 2 Stars - below expectations, needs improvement - inferior materials And/Or design - poor value * 3 Stars - meets reasonable expectations of quality, design and durability at the price point * 4 Stars - Exceeded expectation - above average performance of materials, design and craftsmanship - good value - would recommend * Five stars - Truly outstanding - exceptional quality and design - exceeded all expectations of materials, design, craftsmanship, durability and value. Would recommend without any reservations 5 point rating scale: * 1 - Unsatisfactory * 2 - Needs improvement * 3 - Meets expectations * 4 - Exceeds expectations * 5 - Truly outstanding
Review: OMG! This stuff works AMAZINGLY! Blown away!! - This stuff is totally AMAZING! I’m SO HAPPY I FOUND IT! I honestly forget to leave reviews on most things that I buy but this stuff is so deserving of a review! I’m so blown away right now that I couldn’t wait to leave my review! Totally worth every penny and more and I will definitely be rushing back once I’m low on it! I’ve started using this product on the ever so hard to root ZZ plant! I’ve read and read how hard it is to root a ZZ stem and that’s it’s almost impossible/not even really worth trying to root the leaves and that it could take possibly a month or longer to root! Let me tell you, with this stuff, it takes less than a month!! I’ve tried another cheap rooting hormone powder and no, it won’t root the ZZ leaves and it WILL definitely take a month to root the stem, possibly longer! The ones I did root, the roots don’t even compare to the ones I’ve rooted in this stuff!!!! The pics are worth saying it all!!! I was so amazed and was jumping with joy, simply ecstatic that my 2 boys were like what the heck is going on with mom! No lie! The leaves are even growing freaking rhizomes!!!!! It’s definitely so easy to do! I stuck the fresh stems in the premixed water…simply mix water and the rooting hormone powder…I didn’t honestly measure any certain amount but if I had to approximate it, maybe 1/2 teaspoon or less in a cup of water and stir vigorously because it honestly does not mix well or at least it takes a minute to get it to mixed! I then put it in a warm and bright/indirect lighted window!! Then as far as the leaves, I soil propagated! I had a nursery pot filled with moistened soil (not soggy) then I created a crater. I sprinkled a little rooting hormone powder on the end if the moistened leave stem/petiole and also a little in the crater, then I simply push soil around the leave just deep to make it stand up! Stuck it in front of a warm window too and in roughly 2-3 weeks, I literally have roots and rhizomes forming!!!! Just amazing and stunning! I just cannot believe it and how stinking easy it was! Also, I cannot say enough about this product! If you’re thinking about trying it, GO FOR IT! This product is so UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING! There are honestly no words to explain how amazed and blown away I am!!! Hormex #3 rocks! I know it may sound like I have been paid to say all of this, but truly and honestly, I have not! I would say it over and over for absolutely nothing because of how amazing this stuff is! I will definitely be a repeat buyer! I honestly cannot wait to try to root other things with this product! I feel like I may be able to root anything rootable! lol HAPPY CUSTOMER!
