    1. Recommended rooting powder?
    2. what rooting hormone do you guys recommend?
    3. Chopped and propped 4 pieces directly into soil with rooting powder a couple of months ago. Followed all the recs about stem lengths and nodes, but looks like this one’s an L. The only growth is from a water rooted prop I added. Any tips for better success next time?
