I don't have a lot of experience rooting cuttings.. more often than not, I stick a cutting in a cup of water and that's the extent of my expertise ;D
I've tried rootone a few times with varying success.. usually hardwood cutting, strip half inch of bark off, dip in rootone, put in soil, put in humidity. This method hasn't overwhelmed me with success so I usually don't go through the effort.
I'm wondering though... when I try to root a plant the easy way (in a cup of water), if adding rootone would help? Or if it would hurt? or maybe it's negligible ???
Thinking about it cause I have rootone just laying around unused.. maybe I'll try a gel in the future bc I've seen many here use it successfully

I´ve tried rootone a couple of times and in my opinion is not worth it, I'm happy with the water method too ;)
Changing the water every day is the key to success with rooting in water. It keeps the water free from bacteria that can cause stems to rot. I notice that with rain water I got much better results when comes to rooting my cuttings.
But if you have some spare rootone and use it on the water it will help root development almost certainly! :)
