Clonex cloning gel
Clonex Cloning Gel is a rooting compound designed to promote rapid, healthy root development on plant cuttings. It combines hormones, vitamins, and antifungal agents in a viscous gel that adheres to cut ends for consistent application and reduced runoff. Clonex is formulated for use on a wide range of species, including ornamentals, herbs, and many woody and herbaceous plants.
Key benefits
Promotes fast root initiation and strong root structure
Gel form sticks to cuttings for precise application and minimal waste
Contains fungicides to protect cuttings from rot and disease during rooting
Encourages uniform rooting across multiple cuttings
Easy to use — no dilution required
How to use
Prepare cuttings: Take healthy cuttings with a clean, sharp blade. Remove lower leaves and any soft growth that will be below the rooting medium. Make cuts at a 45-degree angle to increase surface area.
Apply Clonex: Dip the cut end of the cutting into the gel to cover the wound thoroughly (about 1/8–1/4 inch). Avoid contaminating the container by not touching the gel with dirty hands or soil.
Insert into medium: Place treated cuttings into a sterile rooting medium (perlite, vermiculite, rockwool, coco, or a mix). Make a hole first to avoid wiping off the gel.
Environment: Maintain high humidity and stable temperatures (typically 70–75°F for most species). Provide bright, indirect light. Use a humidity dome or misting to reduce transpiration until roots form.
Monitor: Check for root development in 1–3 weeks depending on species. Once roots are established, gradually acclimate cuttings to lower humidity and transplant to pots or beds.
Tips and best practices
Use sterilized tools and clean hands to minimize contamination.
Avoid re-dipping cuttings into the gel after touching non-sterile surfaces.
Combine with gentle heat (rooting mats) for species that root more slowly.
For very sensitive species, trial small numbers first to confirm response.
Replace gel cap tightly after use to maintain product stability.
Safety and storage
Store in a cool, dark place between 40–75°F. Do not freeze.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
Dispose of container following local regulations.
Sizes and packaging Clonex is commonly sold in small jars suitable for hobbyists and commercial sizes for larger operations. Always check the label for specific ingredient information and manufacturer directions.
Why choose Clonex Clonex’s gel formulation delivers a reliable combination of rooting hormone and protective agents in a form that’s easy to apply and reduces waste. It’s a popular choice for growers who want consistent, high-success cloning results without complicated mixing or equipment.
