SUPERthrive Root-Gel Rooting Gel | 2oz - (Case of 12)

IBA/NAA Rooting Gel That Coats and Protects Cuttings, 2oz

A liquid rooting dip runs off a fresh cutting almost as soon as it's applied, which limits how much hormone actually stays in contact with the cut surface during the critical first hours of propagation. SUPERthrive Root-Gel is formulated as a gel rather than a liquid, combining IBA and NAA rooting hormones with essential minerals in a coating that clings to the cutting instead of dripping away.

This 2oz size, sold as a case of 12, is sized for propagators working in small batches who need a quick-application gel for cuttings rather than a bulk liquid concentrate.

Key Features & Benefits

• IBA and NAA hormone blend — combines two rooting hormones in a single gel application.
• Gel format — clings to the cut surface instead of running off the way a liquid dip does.
• Essential mineral content — adds minerals alongside the hormone blend to support the cutting during root formation.
• Quick application — coats a cutting in one dip rather than requiring a longer soak.
• Protective coating — helps shield the cut surface while roots begin to form.

Who Should Use Root-Gel Rooting Gel

This gel fits propagators taking small batches of cuttings who want a hormone treatment that stays on the cut surface through the first critical hours rather than one that runs off immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a rooting gel different from a rooting liquid or powder?

A gel clings to the cut surface of a stem instead of running off the way a liquid dip can, which keeps the hormone and mineral blend in contact with the cutting longer. A powder, by contrast, can flake off during handling or planting in a way a gel generally doesn't.

How do I apply Root-Gel to a cutting?

Dip the freshly cut end of the stem into the gel so it's evenly coated, then insert the cutting into your propagation medium. Avoid double-dipping directly from the container into a shared batch to keep the remaining gel free of contamination.

What do the essential minerals in the gel do?

They supplement the IBA and NAA rooting hormones with additional nutrition available to the cutting while it's forming roots and before it has functioning roots of its own to draw nutrients from soil or media. This is meant to support the cutting through that early, root-free window rather than to feed an established plant.

Can I use Root-Gel on hardwood cuttings, or is it just for softwood?

The hormone blend is formulated to support root formation across cutting types, though harder, woodier stems generally take longer to root than soft green cuttings regardless of the rooting product used. Follow standard propagation practices for whatever cutting type you're working with alongside the gel.

Does the 2oz size go a long way for a home propagator?

Since only a small dab of gel is needed to coat each cutting, a 2oz container covers a meaningful number of cuttings for a home-scale propagator rather than a single use. Keep the container sealed between uses to keep the gel from drying out.
