Medical Grade Disposable Scalpel | Size 22

Q. Why use a scalpel instead of scissors for hydroponic cloning?

A scalpel produces a sharp, smooth cut rather than pinching through the stem. This helps prevent tissue crushing, minimises plant stress, and supports faster root development.

Q. What is a Size 22 scalpel blade best used for?

A Size 22 scalpel has a large, curved blade that is well suited for cutting thicker or denser plant stems when taking hydroponic cuttings.

Q. How does a clean cut help plant clones root faster?

A clean cut reduces cell damage in the stem. This allows the plant to focus energy on forming new roots rather than repairing crushed or damaged tissue.

Q. What angle should I cut clones at when using a scalpel?

Clones are typically cut at a 45-degree angle, which increases the surface area of the stem and provides more space for rooting hormones and root growth.
