Does Honey Help Rooting? Natural rooting hormones
Does Honey Help Rooting? Natural rooting hormones
In this video I attempt to clone plants and test to see if honey can help plants grow roots faster. I try multiple honeys and application techniques to see what has the best and quickest root growth. What is the easiest way to propagate plants? Let’s find out!
If you’ve ever wanted to grow tomatoes from cuttings, clone cannabis, or create a mother plant- don’t miss out on this great garden tip. Learn how to use honey as rooting hormone!
Honey contains anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties which will help you propagate your plants quicker.
In this video I will be growing tomato plants from cuttings, but these same techniques can be used for roses, cannabis and vegetables of all kinds!

Great video, am off to root my favorite plants…. Lol!!!
You should make a video with unoxygenated, and oxygenated water. Oxygenate one with room air / aquarium pump and another with 100% O2.
Nicely done video. Thanks for the time and effort to make and post this.
Very useless. You cannot make conclusion on such small samples. If there is one conclusion is that contamination kill the plant and honey probably does nothing or make it much worse due to sugar.
You were right when honey is heated too much it loses the medical properties I think the same applies if it gets too cold that’s why it’s usually kept room temp
Backyard science is VERY cool, but it wasn’t very scientific to use the same spoon from one jar to the next without cleaning it 😀
Whatever food you may have put in that pot may have jump started that mold situation… the water got contaminated from the pot possibly?
👍
Thank you so much. This test really helps.
This cat knows his stuff
GREAT VIDEO!!!
Thank you for sharing God bless you
I keep 800 colonies of bees and produce about 1400 lbs of honey a year. Honey on its own will not sustain bacterial growth. Simply because the honey is so viscous that any bacteria will become autotoxic. Which means that the bacteria will die in its own waist. Honey normally has a moisture percentage of 17%. If it gets higher than that it will allow the bacteria to propagate. So when you added a teaspoon of honey to the water and mixed it in, you gave the bacteria the proper nutrition to propagate and make the water cloudy.
You could also place a piece of tin foil over the top, then poke a hole in it, and put the cutting through that as an alternative to using tape.
Well done son
Great research
Wow man nice video it’s January and I just purchased a song of Jamaica in India and I noticed it’s just a cutting which is not even rooted .temperature is 8-20°c here. I have kept it in a water mixture of honey and cinnamon please give me some recommendations so it can root faster without rotting. Should I keep it in that mixture permanently? Btw nice video I m ur subscriber now.
What agreat vid, nice job bro!
Thank you so much for doing this experiments. Could you do a aloe vera experiments.
Honey is sugar. Sugar is a great food source for bacteria 🦠
Super appreciate this thank you so much
Is Manuka honey ok to use?
Thanks for making this video
The thing is, most supermarket honey isn’t really honey, only honey from a beekeeper is the real deal, with all the enzymes etc.
Which DIY rooting hormones work best? Find out here: https://youtu.be/uQp2NfC0-kg
Can you clone cannabis in the same way as you did with tomato plants? Have u tried?
Contaminated the second jar with boiled water
Thanks
great video
thank you for your experiment. 👍👍👍
What does this tell us about pasteurization? Yes, raw milk is better!
Thus was wonderful, thank you so much for doing it for us!
i used aloe for the past 5 years or so now and its my rooting hormone of choice, the raw honey works great too have used it many times.
It did not look like you let the water cool. I think that would have made a difference.
great video ..thanks
Great video. Well done with comparison of different applications.
I will subscribe and follow you.
It looks like the boiled honey water started fermentation.
The kudos in Comments are overwhelmingly right-on! I just want to add that you made it look simple, but the work is all there to see. Thank you
By far the best and most scientific of the videos in this genre iv seen so far, thank you!
Thank you!
Oh my honey does work
I’m interested in this because right now I am making molasses/honey water for my plants. I have a multitude of different honeys. I’m using Manuka honey. It is a powerful honey with many beneficial properties. I figure if it’s the best kind of honey for everything else it should also be the best for this stuff!
@JimmyBHarvests, Honey’s main antifungal and antibacterial properties are due to the high concentration of sugar in honey. The concentration of sugar makes it just about impossible for bacteria and fungus to grow. Enzymes do play a role in this but they are usually dead after a month or so of storage.. maybe even sooner. So, when you dilute honey in water, you are effectively creating a haven for bacteria and other microorganisms. Honey dips for rooting should be a straight dip into no-diluted honey and into potting mixture, not water. FYI , I am a beekeeper, and storing honey is an important part of being a beekeeper.
🎉
dont mess around with mold it will kill you ..its hazmat suit bad…learned from experience
I’ve also seen cuttings dipped in honey and placed in potting soil. Ever done that?
Greetings from Los Angeles
Why tomatoes though? Their cuttings grow incredibly easy just in water without anything added. Try the honey on something thats actually hard to clone.
Did you delete your propagation races video ?
Have you tried banana water? 🍌
grazie chicco
Really interesting, thanks very much😊
