Anyone know where to buy hormone powder for getting cuttings to root?

Its called Hormone Radicante on Italian, I got that far. Everyone seems to know it but not carry it.

I'm trying to propogate my Kaffir Lime Tree hand carried from home.

Aside from the likes of garden depts of Castorama and Obi have you maybe tried smaller garden centres/nurseries where they maybe do their own propagating and could give you a little ?

Or maybe just try taking a couple of softwood cuttings of your kaffir lime and see what happens. Rooting powder v useful - but not essential.

Far from essential. I've grown many things from cuttings without it.

If your local garden centre does not carry one of these, they can always order it for you.
