Rooting Gel High-Performance Rooting Compound - 100ml

This is a great product. Works well. My hubby has been using this for years and he loves it.

Worked perfect

I’m a long-time user of Clonex Rooting Gel and while the product is undeniably effective, I was surprised (and disappointed) that Amazon product listings and reviews don’t ever mention its toxicity or handling precautions. That omission feels misleading for growers, especially those using Clonex for edible plants or aquaponic setups. Here’s what the official documentation actually says (and what should be clearly visible on the product page): EPA-Registered Pesticide (EPA Reg. No. 79664‑1; active ingredient Indole‑3‑butyric acid (IBA) 0.31%). The product label includes these signal words and hazard statements: > CAUTION – Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through the skin. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling, and remove/wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Do not apply directly to water, and avoid contaminating water when disposing of wash waters. Manufacturer's Safety Data Sheet (Nov 21, 2023) confirms these precautions and notes that IBA may cause an allergic skin reaction in sensitized individuals. Recommended PPE includes gloves and eye protection, and standard first aid includes 15–20 minute rinses for skin or eyes, and calling Poison Control or a doctor if swallowed. Environmental Warning: Do not contaminate water — that includes drinkable or aquaponic system water. --- My Recommendation: Clonex is excellent for rooting cuttings—but it’s not inert. If you’re using it on food crops, in edible gardens, or especially in aquaponics systems (where fish and microbial life could potentially be exposed), you must handle it as a pesticide: 1. Use gloves and eye protection when applying. 2. Avoid all direct contact with aquaponic water or fish tanks. 3. Contain and dispose of any rinse or residual gel according to the label—do not flush it down the sink or drain. 4. It should ideally not be used in systems where ingestion by humans, animals, or beneficial organisms is possible. --- Why This Matters: Amazon product pages and reviews currently promote Clonex as “safe,” “water-based,” and suitable for vegetables, fruit trees, etc., without any safety caveats. That omission is deceptive, as it fails to inform users of the real handling hazards and environmental precautions—critical information for home growers, especially those growing edible or aquatic plants. Copy-Paste Ready Conclusion for Your Review: > Safety Disclosure Omitted: Clonex Rooting Gel contains IBA (0.31%), is an EPA-registered pesticide (CAUTION – harmful if swallowed/absorbed), and is not labeled on Amazon with any hazard information. It requires gloves and eye protection, careful disposal, and should never enter edible or aquaponic water systems. Amazon's omission of this safety data is misleading and potentially dangerous.

Great for cutting starters

I use it when I make rooted cuttings of my Plumeria. I use it in conjunction with "Rooting Hormone" powder. I dip in Clonex, then the Rooting Hormone powder. I let dry and plant. Works well!

Exactly what I was looking for

I feel absolute love for a specific rose which goes by the name of "Black Magic" Roses! They are extremely hard to purchase and if you can, you have to order way in advance, like a year or two and wait all that time just to be told your order is being canceled and you are being refunded because they have no more as they have over ordered the product( Which is now the 6th year in a row they have done this to me)! How is that my fault right? anyway back to the review! I apologize for the tangent! 1. Before we begin with directions here is something that all of you need to know as I have been asked this so many times before, which is About how to properly cut a stem. a. For those who do not know the proper way to cut a stem off, You will want the proper shears for this and make sure they are good quality and extra sharp as if they are dull you will ruin the whole plant you cut it from. b. If you happen to (like me) acquire a flower from a florist you will want to get that stem home and under luke warm water (room temperature) you will submerge the stem and take your sharp shears and cut just a half inch off the bottom in a slanted cut as so your flower does not sit directly onto the bottom of the vase or your stem will not be able to soak up the nutrients it need to grow roots or even soak up water. Instead it will just die! 2. First and foremost DO NOT rush! a. You DO want to apply Clonex generously (by Dipping at least 1 whole inch on the bottom of the cut off stem into the bottle as so you know it has been saturated!). b. When you have done that, you will then want to place this into a small single flower vase. c. If you do not have one you can purchase one at your local florist or hardware store. An even cheaper option is to buy one at your local dolor store like Dollar Tree. You dont need a fancy one. d. If you Rush you WILL end up with a dead stem and NO new flower or tree or what ever else you are trying to grow! 3. You will need lots of flower food. a. If you are like me and you dont have alot of money, you can use other alternatives the only problem is if you cut corners with the flowers you are going to see what happens to the flower when you try to cut corners! b. Buying a plant food from your local florist or garden center is best! They do have cheap food for flowers. c. Make sure you buy the appropriate foods tho! If you happen to try and clone roses, you will need rose food. If you try to clone a vegetable, you will need vegetable food. If you try to clone a tree, you will need the appropriate foods for it. d. Basically what I am saying is some plants require a very acidic type food and nutrient for them to grow and thrive as well as make flowers and so on, and some cannot have any or too much acidity or they will die. If you dont use the appropriate foods you can and will kill them. e. I see alot of people who have said this does not work, well they are full are it, or they just do not know the proper steps to take! 4. Making water for the Vase. a. Before you place the stem into the vase you will want to make up the water and plant food solution. b. You will add luke warm(or ROOM TEMPERATURE) water along with the plant food into the water and let it dilute. c. You will then mix the water and plant food in the water until it has dissolved. d. After it has diluted by mixing it and letting it settle for a minute or so you will then take the next steps! 5. Placing the Stem in the vase. a. After you place your Stem in the vase you will leave it in there until you see it actually root! b. You will want to change the water and add more plant food like the above steps in steps 4 a-d at least every 3 days so it is not sitting in stagnant water. c. Plants can survive after being cut without water for about three days before they start to wilt unless they are left in the sun which in that case will wilt even sooner! So on that note you will want the freshest cut flower to do this with or you will wind up with a rotting flower in the water, regardless of how cautious you are! 6. Patience is A Virtue! a. If you are as impatient as some people are here you can take your chances and actually place the flower in the dirt after submerging the stem in the clonex, but I would not suggest it! b. In the cut stage you dont want to risk it as if you forget to water the flower even one day as these need to be watered twice a day or more depending on the temperature outside then you risk the entire process going to crud! c. Its up to you. You either want results or dont! 7. When to place it in the ground! a. Only after you actually see roots(which can be really tiny) will you actually place the stem in the dirt b. Before placing the stem in the ground you will need to maker sure the ground has been that has been aerated and fertilizer has been added to it! c. If it is too cold outside make sure you have a pot that is big enough for your plant. d. The best way to measure a pot so you know it will be big enough is to take the roots and measure it with a ruler on a piece of paper then mark the other side of the paper until you have a whole circle then you will take that and figure you will need at least two inches bigger then that circle(as you will need to make sure you have enough room for growth). e. If you have grown this indoors, you are probably wondering (If you dont already know) when to place this new plant of yours outside to acclimate to the weather(as you cannot bring the plant outside and just place it in a hole right away! You need to give it at least 2 or 3 days to adjust to your yard before placing it in the ground! f. You will dig a hole that is at least 1' deep and if the stem is bigger you will want to dig a hole that is big enough for your stem! g. Do not try to cut corners like I have said again and again above as you will not get the results you are looking for! It will only end in disaster! If you have questions please feel free to ask as I will always be available to answer any questions! Also if anyone feels I am missing something please let me know as I feel like I have missed something! I guess I will figure it out!

No funcionó como se esperaba

Sorprendido por el rápido crecimiento de raices en un esqueje de una planta cuyos esquejes siempre les costaba mucho enraizar.

Awesome thanks 😀

I’ve been using this on my Gymnocalycium and other cacti, and it really works wonders. I don’t use it for cuttings, but mainly during repotting, after trimming roots, or when I receive plants shipped from overseas. It really helps the plants recover faster and encourages healthy root growth. I’ve noticed less stress after repotting and better overall root development compared to not using anything. The gel consistency is great because it coats the roots nicely and stays in place during planting. Overall, this has become part of my routine when handling my cacti. Highly recommend for anyone repotting or rehabbing plants!
