What is Gel4Plugs?

Gel4Plugs is the first rooting gel specifically formulated for use with propagating plugs/blocks.

It is a gel based propagating aid, which, unlike other rooting gels, is placed directly into the central dibble of the plug. Just one ml or less is sufficient to ensure rooting of softwood/greenwood and many semi-hardwood cuttings (but not acid-loving plants, such as Azaleas).

Gel4Plugs is a unique formulation and is synergistic with the plug, producing vigorous roots with minimum maintenance. It loses hydration very slowly within a moist plug and so delivers its active ingredients over a long period. This ensures maximum effect of its active ingredients. The gel forms a seal around the cut surface of the cutting, aiding uptake and helping prevent dehydration and infection.

In extensive trials, a wide variety of garden plants, including Forsythia, Buddleia, Hydrangea, Hebe, Buxus and roses have been rooted. Using Gel4Plugs, the time taken for first root formation has been reduced, more roots per cutting developed and faster root growth achieved.

Gel4Plugs has obvious potential for both gardeners and commercial growers. It could be used in automated filling systems as well as manually dropping a tiny amount into each plug from the squeezy bottle. It is economical in use and, providing the plugs remain moist, success rates are extremely high.
It will work equally effectively with rockwool, peat, fibre or combination plugs. Outstanding performance has been achieved with FLEXIMIX and Root Riot and Grodan plugs.
