Sydney folk - where do you get rooting hormone from?

Post by Mellenoire »

I want to air layer a tree growing in my back yard. I'm not sure what it is precisely but it's very green, young and has absolutely no leaf growth until the upper 3rd.

Do most nurseries stock rooting hormone, or alternately is there anywhere online I can buy it? Also, is honey a suitable substitute or do I really need the powder?

Thanks!

The big B stores stock lots of the stuff. Any good nursery should also have some.

This is going to sound dreadfully silly, but does big B = bilo, best n' less, or something else?
