IBA Rooting Gel - Ideal Cloning Gel for perfect, strong clones - The key to successful plant cloning - Midas Products Rooting Gel Hormone 4oz - For professional and home based growers

I love this product! It's thick, so it stays on the root. Shortly after receiving it, I started trying it on all kinds of plant clippings from my tropical yard. This rooting hormone works faster than the powder hormones I've used before.It's actually saved me about $30 in just replacement milkweed plants!I bought the 1st milkweed to see if I could get Monarch butterflies to come. I was delighted to soon see the first one. In no time, I realized there were striped Monarch caterpillars of varying sizes eating the plant down to its stems! I hurriedly bought another large milkweed, so they wouldn't starve. They quickly stripped it too, but left behind 6 cocoons!Sadly, only one hatched, but I was learning. There's some local, flying pest that attacks the chrysalises. I didn't know about, but I was entranced. Above, a picture is of my original plant eaten down to sticks!A friend told me to cut about 6" off all of the ends, to try to root them.This rooting gel is quick and easy to use. It's tempting to want to just dip the cutting into it, but luckily this time, I read the directions first. To prevent contaminating the whole jar, I just dip a clean teaspoon in it. Enough clings to coat the clipped edge & the rest stays clean.Within 3 weeks my cuttings were rooted enough that they began making leaves again. My original 2 plants was now a dozen.Again, the Monarchs came and laid eggs. Soon, those hungry, hungry, caterpillars became fat, then made even more chrysalises! This time, I knew to put a mosquito net over all of them to protect them.Here's a picture of on of my many hatched Monarchs! Thanks to being able to root the clippings so quickly, I had enough food for them all. I won't need to ever buy more milkweeds. In fact, I plan to sell the extra plants I'll have after clipping the ends again!My jar is still at least 3/4 full, although I have rooted dozens of new plants this summer. It's so easy, and I think it's a great value for the money.I'm hooked now!

WOW! This stuff works great! I have roots on my Lavender cuttings in 10 days! Works terrifically!!

Easy to use

It works great has made cloning alot better and more successful

I have used a couple different powder rooting hormones, with inconsistent results. My intention was to air root several ornamental and fruit trees. After having done this several times with other products. I thought it would be nice to use a liquid. At the recommendation of a friend, who it turns out hadn't used it yet. Well all went smooth in the application. But after an entire summer, there were no results. Most of the branches scared over healing themselves with huge callous. But no roots. I'll try some actual cuttings over the winter, and give an update.

I have been growing and cloning cannabis for the past year, and in my experience this stuff really works. In the beginning I had mediocre success keeping clones alive, with ~50% dying before they could be planted. This failure was due to a number of rookie mistakes, but my choice of rooting gel certainly didn't seem to be a contributing factor. I took tiny cuts (~a few cm) from new growth, used junky rockwool that often disintegrated or broke in half, sat them in dirty, algae-filled, stagnant water, and frequently knocked them over and ejected them from the rockwool, among other embarrassing mistakes. Though many cuts died by my hand from carelessness, nearly all (90%+) grew healthy roots in a week or less.Not only that, but I only recently realized that the directions say to add some gel to a different container to avoid contaminating the entire batch...whoops. I'd been dipping the stems straight into the main container for nearly a year now, yet I've been enormously successful in rooting anyway. I'm proud to say that, for the entirety of 2021 so far, not a single clone has died on me; without exaggeration, 100% SUCCESS (not including the clones I've killed from carelessness or neglect). I get bright, thick, healthy, fuzzy white roots with this gel every time, often in a week or less. Furthermore, I ALSO only just realized that this gel should be refrigerated to maintain its effectiveness over months and years. My container usually just sits at room temperature, sometimes even being accidentally left under hot grow lights. In spite of my constant ignorance of the directions, this gel sticks to the stems' wounds and does an impeccable job coaxing out roots.

This is my husband's first time attempting to clone succulents. He laid out the leaves and let the ends callous first, then dipped them in the rooting solution and let them be for a few months. Nearly every one rooted and grew a new plant. I've heard succulents are pretty easy to propogate like this so, not sure how much of it is the hormone vs without. He's now attempting to propagate a batch of succulent leaves without rooting hormone to compare the results. Also, attempting to propagate some arbor vitae and boxwood cuttings with the hormone -so far a few weeks and no roots using dwc and aeroponics. Mind you, the rooting hormone likely got washed off with the water and the cuttings were taken in winter so not sure they will root at all. He'll be starting tomato's and a bunch of other plants soon and plans on propagating everything if it stands still long enough, so I'll be sure to update this review with results in the future.

I was really excited at finding this product so I could clone my existing plants and not have to buy more as I wanted to expand my garden. I followed the instructions exactly and even brought the rooting cubes so I could have a good result. I applied the product to two seedlings which I had had in water for a day and were very much alive, along with three new cuttings. They all started shriveling immediately and died within 24 hours. I left them in the cube for 4 to 5 days, because they say there may be some shock to the cutting and it needs time to recover and within 4 to 5 days roots will develop they say. Nothing developed. The cuttings simply instantly died. I do not recommend this product.

Received item in good condition,great handling by delivery no leakage. 1st switch to gel from powder form of rooting hormone. I would have to say it's an improvement, faster roots formation! Success.
