You can use a basket to dip the cuttings in a tub. Prevent bruising by not placing too many cuttings in the solution at once. Allow time for the solution to dry on the cuttings before watering, misting or covering. The temperature of the solution should be at least equal to the cutting temperature.

Plant the cuttings immediately.
Herbaceous cuttings: 1-3 tablets per liter water.

Chrysanthemum: 4-10 tablets per liter water.
Softwood cuttings: 20 tablets per liter.
