She was doing a demonstration on how to replant a Hydrangea bush, she took the stem and dipped it in something white, what was that?
Today (9/13/06) on Martha Stewart...?
Rooting hormone. Get it at Wal-mart or any home improvement store that has a garden center. Dip stem in water then in hormone. I find plants root the best if you have 3 gallon pots to put a bunch of cuttings in, as if you forget to water them for a day or 2 they will not die. I also use cheap soil, organic humus or compost to root in, not fancy soil. And put the plants you are trying to root into part shade, morning sun, afternoon shade so they don't die from the stress of too much sun. Easy!
Reply:Sugar water?

Reply:I didn't see it, but I bet it was rooting hormone. It's a product you can buy at home and garden centers, to help cuttings from plants take root better.
