Willow Tea

[LordHill]

I made a batch of "willow tea" ... Basically it's new growth from a willow tree soaked in water.. I made it to root some cuttings I took..

It made me wonder, would this be a good thing to add to bonsai water? Half of bonsai seems to be the development of roots. You would think hitting them once in a while with some natural rooting hormone would be a good thing?

I was told that rooting hormones do not affect roots. Just stimulates root formation from stems where there are no roots so good for cuttings but hot useful on existing root systems

That's sounds logical, I will accept that.. thank you!
