It is ideal for both softwood and semi-hardwood cuttings, delivering superior strike rates compared to standard cloning gels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"678\" data-end=\"990\"\u003ePro Gel contains the powerful plant growth hormones Indole-3-Butyric Acid (IBA) and Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA), making it stronger and more effective than most competing brands. These hormones stimulate rapid root initiation while sealing the cut stem to protect against infection and dehydration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"992\" data-end=\"1314\"\u003eWhat truly sets Pro Gel apart is its ultra-thick, high-viscosity formula. It is one of the stickiest and most binding propagation gels ever produced, ensuring maximum contact with the cutting for faster hormone uptake. The result? Stronger roots, quicker establishment, and dramatically improved success rates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1316\" data-end=\"1392\"\u003ePro Gel doesn’t just help cuttings root — it helps them root super fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1394\" data-end=\"1397\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1399\" data-end=\"1452\"\u003eBest Results – Propagation Environment Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1454\" data-end=\"1651\"\u003eFor optimal seed striking and cloning success, always ensure you have the correct tools and conditions.

Choose cuttings with 3–4 sets of leaves plus the crown leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2341\" data-end=\"2499\"\u003eTop shoots are ideal, but ensure the stem is firm and rigid. If the stem bends easily, it is too soft and unlikely to survive the early stages of cloning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2501\" data-end=\"2690\"\u003ePrepare all propagation media before taking cuttings. Exposed cuts can quickly absorb pathogens and fungal spores, reducing success rates.

Soak for approximately 20 minutes, then drain excess solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2940\" data-end=\"3053\"\u003eArrange the cubes in a propagation tray. Standard 50 × 50 mm cubes allow for around 20 cuttings per tray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"3055\" data-end=\"3058\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"3060\" data-end=\"3090\"\u003eStep 2 – Take the Cuttings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3091\" data-end=\"3264\"\u003eUsing a sterile single-edge razor blade, cut just below the third or fourth internode at a 45-degree angle. Remove the bottom two sets of leaves flush with the stem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3266\" data-end=\"3431\"\u003eIf leaves are large, trim approximately 50% of the leaf surface to reduce transpiration.

This allows rooting hormones to activate more efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4198\" data-end=\"4420\"\u003eAfter 24 hours, set lighting to 18 hours on \/ 6 hours off. Check moisture levels every 2–3 days and rehydrate blocks with the original Seed ‘n’ Clone solution if needed.
