Rootech Cloning Gel | Rooting Hormone for Plant Cuttings and Clones | Promotes Root Initiation and Rapid Root Development for All Plant Types | High-Potency 0.55% IBA Gel | 0.25 Ounce

It does work. I usually can only root a cutting in plain water, they always rot in dry soil or absolutely won't grow roots for some reason. I have used powdered rooting hormone with a about 50/50 success rate years back. I have recently been completely unsuccessful in propagating succulent leaves & stems with the powdered hormone, now with this gel, every one of them have rooted and usually within days. FYI the moonstone leaves, immediately dip in the gel, stand up right in damp sphagum moss (loose not packed) do not let them callous first (my experience anyways). I have also got the strings of dolphins, bananas, pearls and ruby necklace to grow roots from a little fat leaf within a few days, prior to this gel I had to drop an entire stem in water and wait a few weeks for roots. I have not noticed this having any sort of smell, it is a small container but your not supposed to make the rooting end look like a q-tip. I probably have over 50 leaves/stems currently sprouting and still have over half of this little container.

works great

Rootech gel really upgraded my propagation game! Going from some old powdered stuff to this gel increased my cutting success and speed dramatically. This may not hold true for everyone, but my success rate and speed were abysmal until I started using Rootech gel. Now I'm buying the big tub to keep stocked up! One tip: to keep you product fresh, scoop out how much you're using in that session and put it in a smaller container for use rather than dipping cuttings directly in the tub. For their tiny containers this is less important, but it's my process going forward with the larger tubs. I'd give it five stars if it didn't stink so bad, though

Had a jungle mint monstera mid-cutting that wasn't doing well, it's roots rotted in the shipping process. I tried treating it in diluted hydrogen peroxide to save the remaining roots, but they ended up all rotting away within a few days Anyway, I got the plant on 9/10/25 and by 9/19/25 all the roots were completely rotted and slid off the stem with minimal force. I'm unsure how much of this damage was my fault, vs the packaging, vs it being a midcutting which apparently doesn't do well anyway in comparison to top cuttings. I normally propagate in water, but because it already had rot, I worried about it surviving water propagation. I have zero experience rooting in moss, but I set up a moss bin and I had put some of this gel on the stem where roots should come from. So far it's been a week and I have no roots still, however I do have this growth point which is finally emerging! Which means the rot didn't take too much of the plant! I'm really hoping this gel helps or at least I hope the plant roots regardless of the gel. I'll update my post eventually. I don't know if I should try reapplying the gel or not though, but I'm probably going to avoid reapplying 10/28/25 I have plenty of roots now! I'm unsure if this paste helped or not but it certainly didn't kill it so there's progress! The first root developed on 10/10/25 in a spot I did NOT put this paste (the aerial root coming out from next to the growth point aka the higher up root) I'm not sure at what day it was, but at some point the spot I DID put the paste did start developing roots and there's two roots coming out of that section (the lower two roots) All roots look healthy, and it will remain in the prop box until I see a leaf fully emerge. Overall unsure if this product works but it at least didn't kill this plant. I'm going to try it on two albo cuttings I have that don't seem to be developing roots as well as the other cuttings are.

This root tech stuff is absolutely by far the best cloning gel I've used. Whoops clonex butt to the point that I (right now) have a full bottle of clonex and it's basically a paperweight, never will be used. I have cloned probably over 100 (indica sativa and crosses) strains with root tech, likely a few thousand clones...with almost 100% success rate. Yes, that's the truth. When I ran out recently, and switched to clonex for a short while because I had some, my success rate dropped significantly. Needless to say I'm with root tech for good. I can't say enough good about these guys. My 100% success rate is in reference to the root tech brand only, the success rate with other brands was noticeably different/lower. My successful method: I keep it simple. I take cuts from the mother, and with a clean (disinfected) razor blade I scrape the skin only from the bottom 1/2 inch of the stem (be delicate). Then dip in cloning gel, and into pre-moistened rapid rooter plugs (or root riot). Stick em in the clone tray, on top of heat pad, and feed pH balanced 6.0 water. Place under florescent lamp. That's it. I don't go crazy with extra steps or get over complicated. I have almost 100% success, and the few that don't survive are more likely due to neglect than anything. I would absolutely recommend this stuff hands down over the several other brands I've tried. It's very easy to use, and eliminates headaches, guesswork wondering why you're only getting 50% success, etc. If anybody has something bad to say about this stuff, they are very likely doing something very wrong. If you have a decent idea of how to clone, this should make your life easier and is worth the extra few bucks, trust me! Just think about it...would you rather save a few bucks, and get something with 50-75% success, essentially leaving you to guess and have to grow extras to be sure you fill your space, or would you rather have a product that works as intended? I don't work for these guys in any way, I'm just a big fan and feel that a fantastic product with fantastic results really does deserve being mentioned in today's overcrowded marketplace. Hope this info has been helpful and welcome to someone trying to make a tough choice. Hope it also saves some from the trial and error of testing different brands over a course of years! This review is referring to CANNABIS cultivation cloning ONLY. I can NOT comment on how effective this product is for any other type of plant, fruit, vegetable, etc. If you're looking to clone cannabis of any variety, you've stumbled onto the very best stuff (my honest, humble opinion) to get the job done! You'll buy it again. Good luck out there, fellow greenthumbs!!

It’s very small quantity but it helped a lot with growing new branches on my rubber plant

Good product. Product was as expected and helped root plants

Unfortunately it’s very bad I’ve been tried it on a clones and it kills them

クローン腐った匂いする

Just touch the root tip with the powder. Last a very long time
