AboutMike Mascio Expertise I have been an avid gardener since 1985 and an AllExpert volunteer since
1998. I specialize in soil preparation, seed starting and plant
propagation, flowers, vegetables, and general landscaping. I am a strong
advocate of the square foot method of gardening and the use of organic
controls for pests and diseases.
Question is it ok if i can propagate jasmine without any root hormone? is honey advisable to use while propagation?
Answer Cuttings will root without a rooting compound. It's just that it helps expedite the rooting and ensures stronger roots. But given sufficient moisture, the cutting will still root.
Honey can be used as a rooting agent. It is less effective in regard to expediency, but many gardeners have used it successfully. It is definitely more economical if speed is not of essence.
I hope this answered your question. Please write again if I can ever provide assistance.
