| Summary: | In the last decades, in horticulture, improving the propagation methods for decorative plants and raising their efficiency became a high priority. Preserving and maintaining the desired plants traits are essential and thus, vegetative reproduction via cuttings is usually the preferred way to obtain high quality material. Today, there are plenty of commercially available synthetic products that promise better and faster rooting and development of cuttings, but in most cases the price is very high and the environmental impact, due to their chemical composition, is another thing that must be taken into consideration. Finding new, eco-friendly and natural solutions that promote a better yield, which can be valued both economically and scientifically, determined research in the field and the results are promising. In this paper we aim to compile the present findings from relevant literature, still very scarce, underlining the importance of diversifying the solutions involved in increasing the natural growing and development of roots in plant cuttings, leading to a better percentage of rooting individuals with a minim impact towards the substrate in particular and the environment in general. |
