The Industry-Standard Rooting Gel for Faster, More Reliable Plant Propagation

Clonex is the most widely used rooting hormone gel in professional horticulture for a reason. A single-step gel application seals the cut stem, delivers Indole-3-Butyric Acid (IBA) directly to the wound site, and provides a sterile, nutrient-rich environment that protects the cutting while root initiation begins at the cellular level.

Whether you're running a hydroponic cloning system or propagating in coco and soil, Clonex reduces cutting failure rates and produces more uniform root development than powder or liquid alternatives.

Why Clonex Outperforms Powder and Liquid Rooting Hormones

IBA Rooting Hormone (Indole-3-Butyric Acid). The most effective plant-available auxin for root initiation. IBA triggers root cell development at the base of the cutting faster and more reliably than synthetic alternatives.
Gel-Based Application. Adheres to the cut stem and stays in contact with the wound site throughout the rooting period. Powders fall off. Liquids dilute. Gel stays where it needs to be.
Anti-Microbial Protection. Seals the cutting against fungal infection, rot, and bacterial contamination during the vulnerable pre-root phase when most cutting failures occur.
Vitamin and Mineral Enriched Formula. Supports early-stage plant metabolism and cellular development from the moment of application, giving cuttings the nutritional foundation to establish quickly.
Sterile Rooting Environment. Protects exposed plant tissue without the need for additional fungicide treatments in clean propagation setups.

How Clonex Works

Three mechanisms work simultaneously from the moment of application. IBA stimulates root initiation at the hormonal level. Anti-microbial agents seal the wound and prevent infection. Vitamins and minerals support the cutting's metabolic function before roots are established and nutrient uptake begins. The result is faster rooting, higher clone survival rates, and more uniform development across a full propagation tray.

Application Guide

Take your cutting at a 45-degree angle with a clean, sterile blade
Dip immediately into Clonex gel, coating the bottom 10-20mm of the stem
Insert directly into your propagation medium without wiping or shaking off excess gel
Compatible with: rockwool cubes, coco plugs, peat pellets, aeroponic cloners, and soil propagation
Do not dilute or mix with other rooting solutions

Applications

Hydroponic cloning systems and aeroponic propagators
Indoor plant propagation and hobby growing
Professional nursery and horticultural propagation
Soil, coco, and rockwool-based propagation setups
Cannabis and vegetable cutting propagation (horticultural use)
