Seed and clone care products help propagate plants from seeds and cuttings with stronger, faster root development. Our range covers rooting gels, cloning compounds and rooting hormones that supply the vitamins and growth stimulants young cuttings need — from soft-tip cuttings through to woodier stems, plus seedling starter trays and cloning collars.
Weak or slow-rooting cuttings waste time, space and mother stock — a cutting that doesn’t strike within a week or two is a lost clone. Rooting compounds trigger faster, denser root formation so cuttings establish quickly and transplant with less shock, meaning higher strike rates, shorter veg times and more consistent genetics carried through from mother plant to harvest.

Gel or liquid rooting compound?
Gels cling to the stem and are easiest to apply to cuttings, giving controlled, even coverage. Propagation medium soaked in liquid compounds give seeds and cuttings the required nutrition.
Soft-tip vs semi-hardwood cuttings
Soft, green cuttings generally need a lower-strength rooting hormone, while semi-hardwood or hardwood cuttings need a stronger formulation to penetrate tougher stem tissue. Check the product strength before you start — using the wrong strength can stall root development.
Choosing your growing medium
Rockwool cubes suit growers who want consistent moisture and easy transplanting into hydroponic systems, while Jiffy pellets are a simple, soil-based option for beginners starting their first seedlings.
