Cactus Rooting Powder 3.5oz

Cactus Rooting Powder
3.5oz Jar

A 2% IBA-3/ Sulfur mix made specifically for hard-to-root cacti. Enough for hundreds of cuttings, thousands in some cases. While CRP was designed with Trichocereus in mind, it has been used on numerous varieties of cacti & succulents. Other than columnar cacti, customers have shared notable success with Gymnos, Astros, Lophs, and even some hardwoods.

*Results pictured were all taken on week 3. On average, results can be seen between 2.5 and 5 weeks. Keep in mind that many variables can change rooting times. Below are things to consider.

- Once calloused, either plant your cuttings or keep them vertically on top of a slightly moist, well-draining soil. While shelving your cuttings to watch for roots can be fun, it generally increases the time for root development.

- Small cuttings will generally take longer to root.

- Cuttings that are etiolated, stressed, or damaged may take longer to root.

- Cold temperatures and low lighting can hinder your cuttings from producing roots.

We recommend bright indirect light, or, if your garden gets direct sunlight, root your cuttings under 30% shade cloth or filtered light.

Using CRP on already callused cuttings.

We recommend making 5 or 6 fresh slices into the callused end. Apply CRP to the fresh cuts and then allow them to callus again. Afterward, follow the normal directions.

 *CRP can be applied as a paste by mixing a small amount of water & CRP, then applying the paste to the callused end with a brush; however, better results are found with the first method described.

• IMPORTANT: Keep in mind when applying to an already callused cutting or rooted plant. Micronized sulfur in wet soil can harm your plants. RH transfers into the plant quickly (24 hours is ample time), after which you should remove/wash off any CRP before planting. As long as you do this, your plants will be fine. If you skip this step and plant cuttings or rooted pups with CRP (micronized sulfur) still clumped on, you will most definitely have some plants that don't do well.

*CRP is not responsible for the misuse of this product. It should only be applied or used the way described in the directions or by a CRP representative.
