Olivia's Cloning Solution: A Quart for the Home Propagator
A home grower taking a handful of cuttings at a time needs a small bottle that does both jobs. This quart holds a root starter and a gentle feed in one liquid concentrate. The guaranteed analysis is 0.06-0.13-0.07, led by phosphate. Ammonium phosphate, potassium nitrate and a specialty fertilizer supply those nutrients. Every value stays well under one percent, which suits a stem with no roots yet. The formula has been in use with growers for more than thirty years. The mix rate is 6 oz per gallon, so a quart makes about 5 gallons of working solution. That covers several rounds of cuttings for a hobby bench or a windowsill tray. Shake the bottle before measuring, since the concentrate settles in storage.
Using Cloning Solution for Plants in Soil, Cubes or Water
Set a cup of the mixed solution beside the mother plant before cutting. Drop each fresh stem straight in so the cut never sits open to the air. After sticking the cuttings, water the medium with the same mix every day. Root cubes, peat plugs, rockwool and soil all work with it. In a small cloning machine, it replaces plain water in the reservoir. Keep cubes moist but drained, since standing water rots a stem base. Herbs, houseplants, vegetables and flowering shrubs all root the same way. Daily feeding stops once roots push out of the medium and the plant moves to its regular program. Mix only a day's worth at a time and keep the bottle capped between uses. A quart goes quickly if trays go in every week, so plan refills around your cutting schedule.
