A little goes a long way so theres enough in a bottle to last a long time. You can also dilute it in water and soak your rooting medium. GOOD STUFF!! Review: Real results, my cuttings root faster! - I’ve tried several rooting products over the years, and Clonex Rooting Gel is by far the best I’ve used. I applied it to my plant cuttings (roses, succulents, and herbs) and literally saw roots start to form a lot sooner than with hormone powders or homemade gels. The texture stays put on the stem, so it doesn’t just slide off like some other gels do. It’s easy to use dip, plant, and mist and the 100 ml bottle lasts much longer than I expected. My plants now have strong root systems and look healthier overall. This product genuinely delivers. Highly recommend if you’re serious about propagation! ## Features - HIGH-PERFORMANCE ROOTING GEL - Clonex Rooting Gel is a water-based formula with the ideal level of IBA.

I used the whole bottle so it might be good for longer than 4 yrs. I never noticed any decrease in the performance, as it always produced pretty well. Some hydro suppliers recommend storing it in the refrigerator, but I never have. I don't use any cloning solution anymore. Go to modularhydro.com to find out why. I don't work for them, just trying to help you out. I bought the $38, 8site cloner and had 8 super healthy rooted clones in 9 days. Never seen anything like it. Check it out. **Q: will clonex rooting gel work on clippings from fruit trees such as gauva or wax apple?** A: I root everything I love with Clonex! Roses, lantanas, wisterias, yellow bells...in other words things I want more than one of. I have never had a failure! One good tip is to keep in the frig and it will last much longer. Good Luck!My Best,Delores. Smithville,Tx **Q: Will this product work on fruit trees....I want to clone this loquat tree but not sure if it will work** A: Things that will work well is get a cutting with a small leaf then cut stem under water at an angle. The more of an angle the better. Use an eyedropper and put some Clonex down your hole in case you rub some off inserting the cutting. Keep moist and use fertilizer cut to about 1/4 strength and mist the cutting 2 times a day. Make at least 3 times the cuttings you wish to keep just in case something goes wrong. Should get about an 80% success rate if you did everything correctly. **Q: For a plumeria cutting would I still let the cutting dry first or dip in clonex right after cutting the plumeria?** A: Right after cutting. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good stuff!! *by G***R on March 28, 2026* Works amazing for starting fresh cuttings in rapid rooter plugs.

Highly recommend if you’re serious about propagation! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Informative Safety Note for Clonex Rooting Gel *by S***T on August 22, 2025* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - HydroDynamics Clonex Rooting Gel, Quart/32 fl oz - Clonex Clone Solution, Gallon - Clonex Clone Solution, 2.5 Gals. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/17422165-clonex-rooting-gel-high-performance-rooting-compound-for-plant-cuttings](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/17422165-clonex-rooting-gel-high-performance-rooting-compound-for-plant-cuttings) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
