Rooting Hormone Concentration
I purchased Green Light Rooting Hormone with 0.1% IBA. The decision to purchase this particular type was based on careful deliberation at my local nursery aided by the facts that I am an impulsive shopper and it was the only one that they carried.
Anyways, will I be wasting my time using such a weak concentration or will it be sufficient for my needs? I am wanting to root prunus mume, prunus serrulata (flowering cherry), lagerstroemia indica (crape myrtle), betula nigra (River birch), and Ilex crenata (Japanese Holly). I'm mainly concerned about the first three. I'd like to propagate the birch and holly as well but they aren't deal breakers.
Also, I was planning on doing an air layer on the (~2") trunk of the flowering cherry. Will a 0.1% IBA concentration be sufficient for that?
Thanks in advance for any advise.
