#CLONE X GEL FOR SOFTWOOD FULL#

Please note that refill six-packs of Gel2Root are available separately from the mini-propagator. With rooted leaf stems, the entire leaf stem should be placed in the soil or compost. There is no need to remove any adhering gel before potting on into soil or compost in the usual way. When cuttings can be seen to be well rooted, cut the foil around them carefully and remove them from the pot. Roots will develop on the stem of the leaf and shoots will grow from buds at the intersection of leaf stem and blade. Proceed as in 7 and 8 for softwood stem cuttings as above.

Following 5 (above), insert the leaf stem into the gel, leaving the leaf blade above the foil lid.

From healthy plants, cut mature leaves with their stems and trim.

Leaf Stem Cuttings (Suitable for African Violet (Saintpaulia), Peperomia etc.)

Then, without further watering or feeding, watch the roots grow!! Once a well developed root system has formed the plants can be potted on.

Keep the intact mini-propagator in a light, warm place but not in direct sunlight and ensure that the base of the propagator remains moist until roots appear. Make sure the vents have been pushed out of the lid to ensure air flow.

Place the pots with cuttings into the propagator base and cover with the clear lid.

Do not use hormone rooting powder as it will be detrimental to rooting in this gel.

Insert the cuttings, up to 3 per pot depending on their size, about halfway into the gel.

Using a pointed object, such as a pencil or skewer, carefully make a hole in the foil lid just large enough to accept the cuttings without damaging them.

Only a few small leaves are needed on any stem cutting.

Just before inserting into the gel, remove the lower leaves and cut to approximately 9cm (about 3ВЅ inches) just below a leaf joint.

This can be done all year round but best results are between March and October.

Using a clean, sharp knife or blade, take cuttings, approximately 12 cm (about 5 inches) long, from healthy.

Place the six-pack into the green base of the propagator.

Pour a small amount of water to the green base of the mini-propagator to maintain a high humidity around the pots.

For best results always use the mini propagator.

The Gel2Root propagation system contains a six-pack of rooting gel and a mini-propagator with a green base and a transparent lid, all enclosed in a sleeve with вЂInstructions for useвЂ™.

Instructions for Gel2Root Propagation System and 6 Pot Refill Softwood Stem Cuttings (Do not use hardwood cuttings)

Gel2Root is not only easy to use and clean but requires no watering or feeding during rooting. The unique, homogeneous, peat-free and transparent gel allows visual checks to be made of the progress of rooting so that appropriate timing for potting-on can be readily assessed. It has been tested for over 30 species/varieties. Gel2Root is a special formulation for the rooting of cuttings of common houseplants, such as African Violet (Saintpaulia), Coleus (Solenostomum) and Chrysanthemum, and softwood conservatory plants, including Weeping Fig (Ficus), Fuchsia and Ivy (Hedera). This can be done at your leisure because the nutrients and water in the gel will sustain a considerable amount of growth. Gel2Root is essentially a medium for propagation but, there is no need to pot on immediately the roots become visible.

The new young roots are provided with a full package of nutrients to ensure rapid and healthy development. Using Gel2Root enables you to see the roots develop. If they havenвЂ™t, this process may itself prevent root bud formation. When soil or compost is used for cuttings the tendency is often to remove them to see whether or not roots have formed. Reducing shock helps lead to the natural formation of root buds on the stem. It helps to reduce the shock to the cutting by providing an environment that is similar to that inside the cutting. The root-inducing agent, indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), occurs naturally in plants. Gel2Root is homogeneous and provides the cutting with a natural chemical to promote root formation. Gel2Root is a unique medium specifically developed for the propagation of houseplants whether softwood cuttings, leaf cuttings or offsets are used.
