Cytokinin paste - application for indoor plants, why and how

Tell me what a cytokinin paste is, what is the result of using this drug for indoor plants? She was advised to me by a friend, knowing my problem - for the second year in vain they have been trying to achieve dracaena branching. She carried out the second pruning, and she again opened only one kidney to me. A friend says that you can smear the stem and then several kidneys will wake up. Is this true and what is the reason for this effect of the drug? Is it a growth promoter?

The effectiveness of growth stimulants is beyond doubt, and hormonal preparations show the best results. It is to them that cytokinin paste belongs, the use of which for indoor plants helps to stimulate their development and flowering. Most often it is used for crops with a capricious character, such as orchids. But for most other indoor flowers, paste is also suitable. Just one drop of the magic remedy will help turn a lonely "asleep" trunk into a lush bush. Or cause a rapid flowering in a plant that has not been forming buds for a long time.

Characteristics of the drug

The paste is produced in the form of a thick yellow mass, packaged in small jars or plastic beakers. The active ingredient of the drug is the phytohormone benzylaminopurine. Its purpose is to activate plant cell division. As a result of this, the flower begins to quickly grow roots, lateral branches, or lays flower stalks.

In addition, the use of the paste increases the general immunity of plants. This makes them more resistant to adverse conditions and diseases, extending the overall life expectancy.
