FAQs

Can I use this on all types of plants?

It is highly effective for most soft-wood and green-wood cuttings but may have varying results on mature woody shrubs.

How long should I leave the cutting in the gel?

A quick dip to coat the base of the stem is sufficient; it is not necessary to soak the cutting.

Does it need to be refrigerated?

No, it should be stored in a cool, dark, and dry place at room temperature.

Can I reuse the gel if I poured too much into a tray?

No, you should discard any excess gel that has touched plant material to maintain the hygiene of the stock bottle.

Is this safe for the environment?

Yes, it is an organic formula, but it should still be handled with standard gardening care and kept away from pets and children.

Troubleshooting

Gel appears too thick or difficult to extract.

Gently warm the bottle by placing it in a cup of lukewarm water for a few minutes to improve consistency.

Cutting is rotting instead of rooting.

Ensure the propagation medium is moist but not waterlogged and that the cutting is not being kept in an excessively humid, non-ventilated space.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent adherence to plant stems
  • Encourages faster root emergence
  • Consistent and reliable formula
  • Suitable for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor plants

Cons

  • Not suitable for use on food crops
  • Requires careful storage to maintain efficacy

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before use, ensure your cutting tools are sanitized to prevent infection. Once the gel is applied, place the cutting in a humid environment, such as a propagator or a clear plastic bag, to maintain high moisture levels. For storage, keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the active components. Always dispose of unused gel from your dipping container rather than returning it to the original bottle to ensure the sterility of the remaining product.
