HDI Clonex Rooting Gel | 1gal

Water-Based Rooting Gel for Cuttings, 1gal

A rooting powder that brushes off the stem isn't delivering hormones where the cutting needs them most. HDI Clonex Rooting Gel is a tenacious, water-based gel that seals cut tissue and stays in contact around the stem, supplying the hormones needed to promote root cell development.

1gal, water-based rooting gel, EPA-registered.

Key Features & Benefits

• Water-based rooting gel — adheres to and seals cut stem tissue rather than washing off.
• Supplies hormones for root cell development — actively promotes rooting rather than just protecting the cut.
• Manufactured under pharmaceutical laboratory conditions — a higher manufacturing standard than typical rooting products.
• EPA-registered — approved for use on woody, herbaceous, flowering, vegetable, and fruit cuttings.

Who Should Use HDI Clonex Rooting Gel

This fits propagators taking cuttings from woody, herbaceous, or flowering ornamental plants, vegetables, fruit trees, or small fruits who want a gel that stays in place through the rooting window.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Clonex Rooting Gel work on a cutting?

The gel is tenacious enough to remain in contact around the stem after application, sealing the cut tissue while supplying the hormones needed to promote root cell development. That combination of sealing and hormone delivery is what distinguishes a gel from a simple rooting powder that can brush off.

What plant types is Clonex approved for?

It's EPA-registered and approved for woody, herbaceous, and flowering ornamental cuttings, as well as vegetables, fruit trees, and small fruits. That broad approval covers most propagation situations a grower is likely to encounter.

Why does manufacturing under pharmaceutical laboratory conditions matter?

HDI manufactures Clonex under strict pharmaceutical laboratory conditions, a higher consistency standard than typical horticultural production. That consistency is part of why the brand positions it as advanced compared to older hormone and powder rooting products.

Is this different from a rooting powder?

Yes, unlike a powder that can be brushed off or washed away, this water-based gel stays in contact around the stem to keep supplying hormones over time. That sustained contact is the main functional difference from powder-based rooting compounds.
