If your attempts to propagate a plant through cuttings have fallen short in the past, the issue might be related to the rooting hormone you’ve used. While there are many effective chemical rooting hormones on the market, few know that it’s possible to prepare an entirely natural and more economical alternative.

In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of making a highly effective natural rooting hormone that works for virtually any plant.

You’ll need:

  • 180 grams of black beans
  • 1 liter of water
  • Strainer
  • Dark cloth
  • Large container

Instructions:

  1. Pour the black beans into the water container, cover it with a dark cloth, and wait for approximately 8-10 hours.
  2. After the designated time, the water should have turned dark. Use the strainer to filter the water into another container.
  3. The goal is to leave the beans slightly damp to facilitate germination. Cover the container with the damp beans and wait for one day.
  4. The next day, add some of the dark liquid to hydrate the beans, wait for 15 minutes, and strain them again. Repeat this step daily until the beans begin to sprout.
  5. After about 5 days, the beans should be fully sprouted. Pour half of the dark liquid used for sprouting over the beans, and add around 500 ml of clean water.
  6. Blend the mixture until it becomes a homogeneous compound. Filter the blended mixture with the strainer to remove residues and obtain a clean liquid.
  7. The resulting liquid, with a light brown color, is your concentrated rooting hormone. To use it on plants, mix it in a ratio of 1:5 with clean water (e.g., for 100 ml of rooting hormone, use 500 ml of water).

The potency of this rooting hormone lies in its high auxin content. Auxins are compounds that stimulate root formation, making the plant stronger and healthier. Now you have an effective and natural solution to boost root growth in your plants.
