Cloning Nutrients - Cloning Gels

Cloning gels are used to dip the freshly cut stems of cuttings into. The cuttings are then placed into the propagation media. The main benefits of cloning gels are to seal cut plant tissue instantly and eliminate the risk of infection. They also contain a rooting hormone which encourages root growth and are full of nutrients and trace elements which help to nourish the cuttings as they grow. Once roots start to appear out the bottom of the propagation media, the clones are ready to be planted into a hydroponics system.
