    Most soilless mixes are predominantly sphagnum peat moss, which is lightweight, inexpensive, and well draining but water retentive. Soilless mixes are also free of disease and other contaminates.

    You can buy it at most plant nurseries and many big box hardware stores. It will be sold as rooting hormone.

    Yes, willow trees are often started this way. They produce a natural hormone that encourages rooting. You can actually root other plants easier in "willow water" or water that has been used to root willow branches.

    Is there a way to grow cedar trees without the plant itself? Can I use a cut or broken branch put into plain water to start a tree??? Thanks

    It really depends on which kind of bush. Some kinds of plants will develop just by sticking the branch into the soil. Some bushes require grafting, which I've never tried. Some will grow by adding root hormone. And some? Some won't grow at all even if you add pixie dust to it. (Good luck finding pixie dust anyway. lol)

    Now, try again, and let folks know which kind of bush you want to grow and you'll probably get a better answer next time. (Hey, I'm no expert. I just garden. lol)
