Clonex Rooting Gel, 100 mL

A Cut-Tissue Sealing Rooting Gel, 100 mL

The freshly cut end of a cutting is exposed tissue, vulnerable to drying out and to pathogens before it can callus and initiate roots. Clonex Rooting Gel is a water-based gel applied directly to that cut end, sealing the tissue while supplying rooting hormones to encourage callusing and root initiation.

This 100 ml wide-mouth bottle is a trial size for a hobbyist testing a small batch of cuttings, sized for dipping multiple cuttings straight from the bottle.

Key Features & Benefits

• Seals cut tissue — protects the exposed cut end while it callus and begins rooting
• Supplies rooting hormones — encourages callusing and root initiation at the cut
• Water-based gel formula — clings to the cut end rather than running off like a liquid
• EPA registered — meets EPA registration standards for the product
• Wide-mouth bottle — sized for dipping multiple cuttings directly from the container

Who Should Use Rooting Gel

Growers taking cuttings for propagation who want the cut end protected and hormone-supported from the moment it's made will dip each cutting in Rooting Gel before setting it into the propagation medium.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply Rooting Gel?

Dip the freshly cut end of the cutting into the gel, coating it fully, then set the cutting directly into your propagation medium. The wide-mouth bottle is sized so multiple cuttings can be dipped one after another.

When should I apply Rooting Gel to a cutting?

Apply it as soon as the cut is made, since the gel is formulated to seal the exposed tissue and start supplying rooting hormones right away. Waiting too long after cutting risks the tissue drying out before the gel is applied.

What does 'EPA registered' mean for this product?

It means the product meets EPA registration standards that apply to products like Clonex Rooting Gel. That registration is a regulatory classification rather than a performance claim.

Can I reuse gel left on cuttings that don't take?

Rooting Gel is meant to be applied fresh to each cutting from the bottle rather than recovered from a cutting that didn't root. Dip directly from the bottle for each new cutting to avoid cross-contaminating the supply.
