Hydrodynamics Clonex Rooting Gel, 100 ml(2-Pack)

Over the years I have used many different cloning/ rooting hormones including powders, gels, and even honey while rooting cuttings of various vegetables, ornamentals, and woody trees. I have taken detailed notes of success rates with different hormones and from my personal experiences I have had the best luck with the Clonex gel. I am not sure if that is because it is a superior product, or if it is because it is easier to use (but that is really splitting hairs…). Some plants that are very difficult to clone may require a stronger # rooting powder, but for your average needs I have found Clonex to be very reliable.Some tips: Store your clonex in the refrigerator to extend the life. Also, NEVER dip a cutting directly into the bottle of clonex! Always pour the desired amount of clonex into a separate clean container to work out of. If you dip straight into the container, you’ll come back in a few weeks and find that your expensive rooting gel has changed colors and gone funky… (I made that mistake a few years ago).I hope this helps your purchasing decision. If you have any questions about my review, please feel free to message me. I’ll try and reply in a timely manner!

Using clonex i can get 100% success 99.9% of the time. If you sterilize your equipment and clone properly this gel is very much worth the money. Sterilize a shot glass, pour in a little clonex, let it get to room temp, refrigerate the rest. I can get 2-300 clones w 1 bottle. And if refrigerated I can attest to a bottle staying good for over a year. Good good stuffEdit April 2018: same bottle, still going strongEdit august 2018: same bottle for over a year. Keep in mind, i only use about 2-3ml at a time in a shot glass and use that for only a handfull of clones. The bottle is still half full and the gel is still thick. I have no doubt itll last another year. Ill keep updating on it.Please hit that button if my review was helpful!

I love this stuff because I'm too cheap to buy plants from the garden store; I get cuttings free from neighbors and friends and now I don't waste so many because I get such good success with this stuff.

I had no issues with my first attempt to clone. I cloned a 30 day old Blue Dream. The photos are after 24 hours. So far... Great!

I'm loving this! Using the double dip method (GardenSafe Takeroot) makes sure all my cuttings root successfully!

I bought this because I was doing propagation experiments with (initially) carnivorous plants. I figured the plants could use all the help they could get when trying to grow new roots, and having this rooting hormone was logical.— EXPERIMENTS —The proper application of this is to apply this gel over a cut piece of a plant—usually the stem. When dried, this gel helps to close off the wound from possible contagions in the soil. The ingredients of the gel provide the nutrients necessary to promote root growth. Some of the experiments I did are as follows:• I cut the entire root base of an Aloe Vera plant off so that it was just a stump, I applied this purple gel to the bottom, let it dry for a few hours, and stuck it back in soil. The Aloe is now growing large, looks great, with a completely new root system (pretty amazing).• I pulled apart, and cut off some Dionaea muscipula (Venus Fly Trap) leaves to see if I could get them to become new plants. With the ones pulled apart, I applied this gel to the rhizome (bulb) and stuck it in its specific soil type, and the ones I cut I did the same. A majority of them all grew into new separate plants.• There was an "ugly" leaf on my Sansevieria (Snake/Mother-In-Law plant), so I cut it into five pieces and put the gel at the bottom of each. Each piece grew a new root system and it's now a forest of plants.— CONTROL —I also did some experiments *without* any rooting gel to see how that would turn out. I got similar results in that the plant pieces grew into a whole new plant.From this limited range of experiments I have concluded that plants are pretty strong organisms and they *want to* survive, so they will grow despite getting help or not, given the right conditions. The environment and the care you give them will help determine whether your plants will succeed through propagation.Take what you will from my experience. Recommended.

works well Most Of The Time.the plant cutting needs to be VERY saturated to actually grow roots.I have also found that dipping the cutting in the solution and then also saturating the soil and inserting the cutting right in the soil works best.

I purchased this to root a madagascar dragon tree cutting. They grow very slow so I was trying to speed the process as I wasn’t having any luck rooting it in water. After 2-3 weeks I checked and I can see tons of small lumps where I applied the gel where roots are about to come out! Very happy, as this takes like 3+ months... I used it and applied heavily and then put the cutting in damp soil.I also used this on one of my eves needle succulent cuttings and it hasn’t rooted. But oh well.
