The internet is full of DIY rooting hormone content - claiming these lists of household items can be used as a rooting agent to increase propagation success rates and speed of rooting. I put these items to the test, and bring you the video proof of what works and what doesn't.

I test and document trials with 6 different DIY rooting agents, including honey, cinnamon, aloe vera, aspirin, saliva and apple cider vinegar. Some work, some don't.

I used tomato cuttings in all these trials, and used basic water propagation with untreated tap water as a control. If you're looking to improve your propagation success and speed, I'd invite you to check out our entire propagation races playlist, found here:
