Hmm, I think the benefit of RooTone is all in the fungicide
that comes in it. The plants you have mentioned all readily
produce roots without hormones. I think there are enough (auxins)
present in most CP's and the excess caused by adding RooTone
may actually inhibit (sp?) root growth. Use this stuff only
on Nepenthes species (anyone know of a hybrid that is hard to
root?) which are known to be hard to root. And a good
fungicide, by it's self, on the rest.
