Honey and Coconut Milk for rooting hormone

Honey is good stuff for our life, we use honey for health care, cooking, also good to mix on tea or milk. So, I'm sure people need honey for their life and we always have stock of honey in pantry. Also for coconut milk, we use it for cooking , especially Asian dish.
This time , I'm gonna try use honey and coconut milk for propagating plant as rooting hormone.I use geranium cutting for experiment , because geranium is one of the easiest plant for propagating. The 1st plant dip in honey mixed with boiled water ( let it cool ). The ratio is 1/2 tbsp honey and 1 cup water. I put the lable with pink paper. The 2nd plant dip in honey mixed with cold water. I put lable with blue paper. The ratio is 1/2 tbsp honey and 1 cup water.

The 3rd plant dip in coconut milk mixed with water. I put the lable with green paper. Ratio is 1 tsp coconut milk and 1 cup cold water.
Let those plants uncover, put in bright room but indirect sunlight.

After 5 days, the water looks browniesh, it looks like debris on it. Plants still look fresh.
Let see closer, the 1st plant looks browniesh in the bottom right on leaf bud.
The 2nd plant also looks browniesh on the leaf bud.
The 3rd plant looks better of all, water looks clean and plant looks fresh too.
So, I repot them to 4 inch pots, and keep in indirect sunlight.

This is what I get after 20 days. The 3rd plant with coconut milk for rooting hormone ( green paper ) is the best one of all. The 1st and 2nd plant with honey for rooting hormone are dead, they wilt and rot. So, by this experiment , I can say that honey is not the best stuff for rooting hormone, and I prefer coconut milk for it. But we still can get comercial rooting hormone by cheap, so as long as it still available in store , better use it.

Minewanka lake

Last August was the perfect time to go camping, we deciced to go camping in Two Jake campground for some reasons. There are three lakes close together. So, during the day we can go to those lakes for couple minutes by walk. Feel the nature and admire the perfect landscaping around it.

Lake Minewanka is the biggest lake in this area, great for scubadiving or fishing, as it says on historical site that is underwater old city , which this city was existed years ago in the area. I love the colour of the lake, looks really blue.
In Minewanka Lake we can go hike for about 1 hour, there is Minewanka Canyon with wooden bridge between hills.
We went for swimming in Johnson Lake, it is big enough for swimming and canoeing. The stream is for water flowing from the lake with the wooden bridge, create the beautiful natural landscaping.

Hubby in Two Jake Lake. He enjoy to walk across the lake to get the small island by the layed wood bark.

Johnston Canyon in summer. We went there in spring roadtrip for the first time. Because this place was close from Two Jake Campground, so we went back there and we had plan to go hike up the top of the hill to see the Inkpot. Johnston Canyon always look fantastic with its nature.

So, this is Inkpot, we hiked up there for more 3 km from the Johnston Canyon Upper Fall. Well, it is not really far, but the trail is up and down the hill, so litle bit tiring. but I made it , yay...!! The Inkpot is like pond with 4 different colours ( I think, I forgot what it says on siteboard ), dominant to blue, green and yellow. The bubble come up from the ground create a wave of mud in the bottom of the pond.
This place is remind me about my picture that I like to draw when I was kid he he he. Mountain for background, cloud, blue sky, some trees and the meadow. I was walking to the creek there.
