Fill a pot with tap water and put it on your stove over high heat. Let the water heat up completely until it comes to a rolling boil. Turn the heat to low to let the water simmer before moving on. You can also use purified or filtered water if you’re worried about any foreign substances in your tap water. Once the rooting hormone is completely cooled, put the cuttings in the pot so the bottom 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) are submerged. Let the cuttings soak for at least 2-3 hours before putting them in a growing medium so they can absorb the solution. You can also dip the end of your cutting in honey before planting it in the ground for an additional layer of protection from fungus and bacteria.
