<p>I've never used water hyacinth, <strong>but in the amounts you are likely to use</strong> toxicity is hardly an issue. You don't want to eat commercial rooting hormones either. I grow willows for the Salicylic Acid which is good for fever and headache while the indolebutyric acid (IBA) is a good rooting hormone.

<p>Children could eat them. But there are a wide variety of many other poisonous plants and unless you research each you probably already have a few. The oxalic acid is a poison. Within a minute or two your mouth will feel like your are chewing broken glass. I know from experience what it feels like and I'll admit I thought I might die.. </p>

<p>I would not advise that water hyacinth I have heard is toxic if eaten by humans. I have always been told that you dont want to put in it ponds where a kid might eat it. </p>

<p>Yesterday, I saw a video that talked about using roots from water hyacinth to make a rooting hormone. Haas anybody here tried this?</p>

<p>There are so many natural ways to start a plant from a cutting and get them to root. One trick is just dip the cut stem in honey and then plant it in the growing media and wam you have a new rooted plant. Just Google natural ways to root tone a plant cutting. Root tone is the defacto product name and brand that comes to my mind though.</p>

<p>Bianca, fresh willow cuttings make the best cloning solution of all, in my opinion. When gathering the willow, look for the lowest branches that have recently been covered by dirt and leaves. When living willow bark is out of direct light, the bark will quickly turn yellow, and the yellow sections will have the highest levels of <span>indolebutyric acid (IBA). Cut these yellow sections into manageable lengths. I aim for pieces the from the size of pencils to hot dogs, but whatever is convenient. I dip them into a bucket of water with peroxide for a couple of minutes. Hydrogen peroxide kills mold, spores and single celled organisms like potential plant paothogens. Throw a handful of yellow willow cuttings right into your bubble cloner water, and leave them there until plant roots shoot. You may want to zip tie them to a brick to keep them from bouncing around and harming delicate roots. </span></p>

<p>First, it depends what you are trying to clone. Second, rooting clones is not the only way to get clones, but let's skip that. Third, you can just use water with absolutely no synthetic plant growth regulators ("hormones"). Tap water is best since it should contain a tiny amount of chlorine to help reduce the chance of rot or disease.</p>
