Default Re: Trying to root Cuttings?

Some some plants such as members of the persimmon family will never root due to genetic factors.

For hard-to-root ornamentals try a rooting gel and follow directions.

For edible plants -- herbs, vegetables, fruits: most rooting gels and powders now have a warning somewhere in small print on the jar or bottle. Don't use them. Instead, use seaweed extract and follow the directions on the bottle.

The best source of information I've come across for rooting and plant propagation in general is the following text:
Plant Propagation, ed. A. Toogood.
