clonex 50ml

Seems to be the best rooting product. More expensive, but the results are worth it.

Good item

Arrived promptly, remains to be seen how effective it is

I pruned some trees in January, and a few months later came across some videos on propagating cuttings.One problem was that the only cuttings I had were the ones from months earlier which I had simply thrown up the top of the garden.Another problem I had was the advice from the various videos.There was advice to plant the cuttings in sand, soil, compost or well rotted manure, or a combination of some or all of these. Also, some were saying to strip the bark from the bottom half inch while others didn't mention doing that.So I decided to do an experiment, trying some of the different combinations and leaving some with full bark while stripping the base of others.I planted eight pots with cuttings, two or three to a pot, but given the time which had elapsed since making the cuttings I honestly didn't expect any to take.Well a month or more has passed since, and as you can see from the photos what were basically sticks I stuck in the pots seem to be taking fine....every single one!I even broke a small piece off a redcurrant plant wile planting it, so stuck it in with the others and that seems to have taken too?I'd be the first to admit that I'm a complete novice at growing and am jumping in at the deep end, but it appears to me that these saplings are going to be suitable for transplanting?If there's anyone with experience who suspects different I'd welcome their input.FYI... The cuttings were all from fruit trees. I don't even know which is from which fruit type, but they are a combination of eating and cooking apples, pear and plum trees (plus the redcurrant bush).If these cuttings are as usable as I think they are, then this stuff is dynamite and could save me a fortune in buying young fruit trees as I'm planning to plant a lot more either way.

Great product and it is more expensive than allot of the other rooting compound powders but has the professional rooting hormone which works. When you consider how much plants cost these days learning to be successful taking cutting this is a winner and in the end saves money.

Good thankyou.

Had powder before, and not particularly impressed with it. This seems to be much better. I got it less than 10 days ago and immediately used it on 30 or so succulent leaves. As seen in the photo, save for 7 that still haven't grown any roots yet (in the centre of the tray there), nearly all have been succesful. I moved them to the edge, plugged them in a bit deeper, and now they're lining the tray. I expect the ones that are left in the centre to grow roots soon, too, since they don't seem to be decaying at all. I only used a few drops, but right away the purple gel stuck on there and prevented the leaves from rotting. It's the cheapest compost available in-store, by the way, so I can't attribute it to that.Obviously, succulents propagate easily, so it's not that surprising. But it's great that there's been no rotting, no mold, and also the roots seem to have come a tad quicker.Update: picture three shows the baby plants alongside some succulents, sempervivum plants, and fairyland accessories in my daughter's fairy garden.

In the days when I could buy powdered rooting hormone products, I had absolutely no trouble getting cuttings to root. Legislation changes that have since left gardeners with not much choice have meant it is now difficult to find anything as effective. I had high hopes for Clonex, but it has been a complete waste of time and money.I tried 28 cuttings, in two separate batches, using Clonex, from the very same plant that has produced very successful cuttings in the days of powdered rooting hormone. Not a single one of them rooted, despite close and careful care. I cannot see myself using this stuff again, it seems completely ineffective.
