Frequently Asked Questions
If I have product leftover, how do I store it?
Great question! This product comes in single-use packets. We recommend you use the entire contents of a packet on up to 5 cuttings at one time and then discard the packet. For the unopened packets, just store the box in a cool, dry place.
What is propagation?
We're so glad you asked! Propagation is just a simple way of saying you're growing a new plant from a piece of another plant. Taking a "cutting" (a small piece of a stem or leaf) and helping it grow its own roots is a perfect example, and this gel helps you do just that!
Can I save an opened packet for later?
It's best to use the gel fresh! We designed these as single-use packets. Each one has enough gel for up to 5 cuttings, so we recommend you prep all your cuttings first, dip them all at once, and then discard the packet when you're done.
Is it better to root my cutting in water or soil?
That's a great question, and this gel works perfectly for both! Some people love watching the roots grow in water while others like to plant directly in soil. It's all about your preference, and both ways will work.
