Using Wilt-Pruf (Anti-Transpirant) for Rooting Cuttings

Do propagators use Wilt-Pruf, Transfilm, or Vapor-Guard when rooting cuttings? Does it improve rooting percentages?

Anti-Transpirants in Propagation

No standard propagation protocols include anti-transpirants like Wilt-Pruf. They're not taught in university propagation courses. If you have a mist bench maintaining high humidity, anti-transpirants are unnecessary—the mist serves the same function (reducing transpiration). Could be an interesting experiment: compare cuttings with and without Wilt-Pruf on a mist bench. But the consensus is that proper humidity management makes them redundant.
