Cloning Gel + Solutions

Types of Cloning Products for Every Propagation Style

At GrowersHouse, you’ll find classic rooting gels like Rootech, Clonex, and Ventana Plant Science that cling to stem tips, encourage callusing, and trigger rapid root initiation. We also carry liquid clone solutions from HydroDynamics, Dyna-Gro, Olivia’s and more, formulated with essential minerals and micro-nutrients to support root cell development in plugs, rockwool, soil, or hydroponic systems. For even more explosive root structure, pair your Clonex rooting gel with foliar products such as HydroDynamics Clonex Mist to keep cuttings hydrated, reduce stress, and push strong, uniform root formation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is cloning gel safe for all plant types?

Most cloning gels are formulated to be safe for a wide range of plant species, including ornamentals, herbs, shrubs, and many fruiting plants. Always check the manufacturer’s label for any specific restrictions and follow the recommended application rates. If you are working with a sensitive or rare variety, test the gel on a small batch of cuttings first to confirm compatibility before scaling up.

Does cloning gel work in hydroponic systems?

Yes, cloning gel works very well in hydroponic systems. You typically dip the fresh cutting in the gel, place it into your chosen starter plug, rockwool cube, or collar, and then move it into a hydroponic cloning machine or system. The gel helps initiate roots at the cut site, while your hydroponic nutrient solution supports ongoing growth once roots begin to develop.

Can cloning gel be used with rockwool cubes?

Cloning gel is commonly used with rockwool cubes. After taking a cutting, dip the stem into the gel and insert it gently into a pre-soaked rockwool cube. The gel promotes root initiation and protects the wound, while the moist, aerated structure of rockwool provides an ideal environment for new roots to expand. Just be sure rockwool is properly conditioned to the recommended pH before inserting cuttings.

Is rooting gel better than rooting powder?

Rooting gel and rooting powder can both be effective, but gels offer some advantages for many growers. Because they are thicker and stick to the stem more uniformly, gels can provide more consistent contact with the cut surface and create a better seal against pathogens. Powders are lightweight, easy to store, and work well for certain setups, but many growers prefer gels for delicate cuttings or high-value propagation where maximizing success rates is critical.
