Product Description

Clonex is a premier brand in producing rooting products and has aided growers increase their strike rates since 1988. Clonex Gel Propagation Cloning 50ml is a specialised formula containing nutrients, rooting hormone, anti-fungal agent to promote explosive root growth.

What It is Used For

This is used to root cuttings. When applied to a freshly taken cutting, the gel works to seal the cut-end and the rooting hormone in the formula will encourage shoots to form. Its anti-fungal agent protects the cutting from stem rot and the nutrient and trace elements are a valuable feed in the rooting process. This gel will heighten the strike rate and reduce the time of the rooting process.

How to Use Clonex Gel Propagation Cloning 50ml

Dip the end of the taken cutting into the gel and place it into a pre-prepared rooting plug. Once the process has been repeated for all your fresh cuttings, cover your propagator and move it to an area with mild conditions and appropriate propagation lighting. The cuttings will require misting every 2-3 days and the plugs need to be kept moist. Cuttings can be transplanted once they have rooted through the plugs.

FAQs

What is Clonex Gel Propagation Cloning 50ml?

Clonex Gel Propagation Cloning 50ml is a high-performance rooting gel designed to promote rapid and healthy root development in plant cuttings. It contains a balanced blend of minerals, hormones, and vitamins that stimulate root growth. This gel adheres well to stem cuttings, providing a protective barrier and creating an ideal environment for new roots to form.

How do I use Clonex rooting gel?

To use Clonex rooting gel, first take a healthy cutting from your plant. Dip the cut end into the gel, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, place the cutting into your chosen rooting medium (rockwool, soil, etc.). The gel will seal the cut tissue and deliver hormones and nutrients to stimulate root growth. Always use clean tools and follow proper hygiene practices when taking cuttings.

Can Clonex rooting gel be used in hydroponics?

Yes, Clonex rooting gel can be used in hydroponic systems. It's particularly effective when used with rockwool cubes or other inert hydroponic media. The gel helps protect the cutting from pathogens while providing essential nutrients for root development. Once roots have formed, you can transfer the cutting to your hydroponic system.

How long does it take for cuttings to root with Clonex gel?

Rooting time with Clonex gel varies depending on the plant species and environmental conditions. Generally, you can expect to see root development within 7-14 days for most plants. Some fast-rooting species may show roots even sooner, while others might take up to 3-4 weeks. Maintain proper humidity and temperature for best results.

Is Clonex gel safe for all plants?

Clonex gel is safe and effective for a wide range of plant species, including ornamentals, vegetables and herbs. It's formulated to promote root growth without harming the plant tissue. However, some very sensitive species might react differently, so it's always best to test on a small number of cuttings first.

Can I reuse Clonex gel after opening?

While Clonex gel can be reused, it's best to minimize contamination. Always use clean tools and avoid dipping cuttings directly into the bottle. Instead, pour a small amount into a separate container for each cloning session. Store the original bottle in a cool, dark place with the lid tightly closed to maintain its efficacy.

Can Clonex gel be used for air layering?

Yes, Clonex gel can be effectively used for air layering. Apply the gel to the scraped area of the stem before wrapping it with moist sphagnum moss and plastic. The gel will provide hormones and nutrients to stimulate root growth at the air layering site, potentially improving success rates and speeding up the rooting process.

What makes Clonex gel different from other rooting hormones?

Clonex gel stands out due to its unique formulation and consistency. The gel adheres well to cuttings, providing a protective seal and consistent hormone delivery. It contains a balanced blend of nutrients and vitamins, not just rooting hormones. The water-based gel also helps prevent air bubbles from forming at the cut site, which can inhibit rooting.

Do I need to use a rooting powder with Clonex gel?

No, you don't need to use rooting powder with Clonex gel. The gel contains all necessary hormones and nutrients for successful rooting. Using additional rooting powder could potentially oversaturate the cutting with hormones, which might hinder rather than help root development. Clonex gel is designed to be a complete solution for plant propagation.

How should I store Clonex Gel Propagation Cloning 50ml?

Store Clonex Gel Propagation Cloning 50ml in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination and maintain its effectiveness. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures. When stored properly, Clonex gel can remain effective for up to two years from the date of manufacture.
