I ordered KLN rooting hormone from ebay for ~$15 (free shipping) and you can also get it from firstrays.com. Most people seem to have pretty good luck with it.

Also, when I was looking for it, some people recommended looking in Wal-Mart for superthrive which is also supposed to be good.

is shultz take root ok?

[Narnia]

No, I actually asked that exact question last week. Apparently the powder formulas are too strong and will hurt the plant. You have to get a liquid formula.

[Call_Me_Bob]

what about mixing it with water, to water it down?

[Narnia]

You could try, but I think the consensus is to avoid that stuff for orchids.

[Call_Me_Bob]

ok, if there are no roots, i think ill try water culture

I wouldn't try a powder based routing hormone. Dosing is critical. Too much can also inhibit growth, that is why people here advise KLN or Superthive, as we are familiar working with it. If I remember well I read that powdered rooting hormones aren't soluble in water.

About winklash, I'm not familiar with it, but you can use Imageshack
You don't have to register in order to use it.

The next screen will look like this one:



In an orange box you see a link with right behind that the text 'Direct link to image'. If you copy the URL in that orange box and past it here when you type a message (insert image option) you can show us a nice large picture from the roots from the plant.
