Hi,

I was thinking of using hormone rooting liquid (or powder) to help root some blueberry bush cuttings.
However, on the product is says for ornamental plants only.

Does anyone know what the risk is with fruit bushes, and how dangerous using hormone rooting liquid (e.g Roota) is?

Are there any other products that are safe?

Thanks,
Kranser.

I can't believe there is any danger whatsoever, it will just be an approvals thing. Think how long it will be from you using a little bit on a cutting until you eat some fruit.
