Clonex Rooting Gel Plant Rooting Compound 100ml Two-Pack — IBA Gel for Fast, Reliable Rooting

Clonex Rooting Gel is a tenacious, water-based rooting compound formulated with the optimal IBA level to promote reliable root initiation and early root development on plant cuttings.

Developed for growers and nurseries since 1988, Clonex delivers a laboratory-produced gel that sticks to fresh cuttings, supplying plant hormone and nutrients where they matter most. Its viscous formula maintains contact with the wound site so the active ingredients can encourage root primordia formation while protecting the cutting from desiccation. This two-pack of 100ml bottles provides enough product for repeated propagation cycles and works across a wide variety of soft-tissue plants.

How do I use Clonex Rooting Gel effectively?

Using Clonex is straightforward: make a clean cutting, dip the base into the gel, and place the cutting into your chosen rooting medium. Keep the environment warm, humid, and clean to support root development and reduce stress on the cutting.

• Trim cuttings with a sterile tool and expose fresh tissue.
• Dip 3–6 mm of the base into the gel so it adheres evenly.
• Insert into perlite, rockwool, peat mix, or similar medium and mist.
• Maintain warmth (above ambient), indirect light, and humidity dome or propagation tray.

What plants work best with this rooting compound?

Clonex is designed for a broad range of soft-tissue and semi-woody plants, making it useful for hobbyists, greenhouse growers, and professional nurseries. While particularly effective on herbaceous and tender cuttings, many hardier species will respond when environmental conditions are optimized.

• Herbaceous ornamentals and houseplants (fast response).
• Soft-stem cuttings from shrubs and vines (good success with care).
• Young woody cuttings when paired with higher humidity and longer root times.
• Compatibility across common propagation media.

Why choose a gel over powder or liquid rooting products?

The gel format provides prolonged contact between the hormone blend and the cutting’s wound, which can improve uptake compared with powders or thin liquids. Clonex’s tenacious gel reduces drip and runoff, retaining active ingredients exactly where they’re needed during the critical initial rooting phase.

• Adheres to cutting for sustained delivery of IBA and ingredients.
• Reduces mess and waste versus powders or dilute solutions.
• Less chance of over-application compared to concentrated liquids.
• Suitable for repeated, controlled dips in busy propagation setups.

How should I store and handle Clonex Rooting Gel?

Store Clonex in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve its effectiveness. Use clean tools and avoid contaminating the bottle to keep the product stable and reliable for multiple uses.

• Keep bottles tightly closed between uses.
• Do not return used gel to the bottle to avoid contamination.
• Room temperature storage recommended; avoid freezing.
• Follow local regulations for disposal of unused product containers.

Who is this for? Clonex Rooting Gel 100ml (2 pack) is aimed at gardeners, propagation technicians, and commercial nursery staff who need a dependable propagation aid that reduces waste and improves contact with the cutting. It fits both small-scale hobbyists propagating houseplants and professional growers conducting frequent cloning runs, offering a consistent, industry-standard solution for initiating roots across many plant types.
