Growth Technology - Clonex Gel Purple – Premium Horticultural Rooting Hormone Gel

Growth Technology - Clonex Gel Purple – Premium Horticultural Rooting Hormone Gel

Establish a highly successful nursery foundation and optimise your early-stage vegetative success rates with Growth Technology Clonex Gel Purple. Explicitly engineered to meet the rigid environmental standards of commercial wholesale nurseries, indoor vertical farms, and passionate home cultivators, this professional-grade rooting gel delivers exceptional, predictable performance. Transitioning vulnerable unrooted cuttings into robust vegetative specimens requires a stable environment that locks in moisture and keeps active hormones in direct contact with the stem. Standard liquid or powder hormones can wash away, lack localized retention, or suffer from uneven coverage that stresses unrooted clones. Clonex's advanced, high-tenacity gel formula completely eliminates those operational vulnerabilities.

Constructed from an ultra-stable, water-soluble polymer base, this specialized formula maximizes rooting uniformity across all treated cuttings. Available in three strategic retail capacities - including the 50ml bottle for hobbyists, the 250ml mid-scale container, and the industrial 1-Litre bulk jug for commercial operations - this series fits perfectly into any propagation workflow. The biological core of this formula is its active 3g/L Indole-3-Butyric Acid (IBA) concentration, paired with a built-in tissue-sealing matrix. This specialized gel ensures that vital root-promoting hormones envelope the base of the stem without exposing fragile cutting tissues to direct air drafts, maintaining uncompromised protection throughout the rooting cycle.

Best For: High-density plant cloning, cutting propagation, maintaining stem moisture during root initiation, and establishing uniform root structures across softwoods, semi-hardwoods, and ornamental varieties.

Key Features:

• High-Tenacity Viscous Matrix: Features a specialized thick gel formula that adheres completely to the plant stem, maintaining tissue coverage and preventing liquid run-off, evaporation, or accidental displacement.
• Targeted Root-Zone Phytohormones: Contains a concentrated dose of Indole-3-Butyric Acid (IBA) to rapidly accelerate internal cell division, dramatically increasing rooting success rates and uniformity.
• Instant Micro-Wound Sealing: The gel acts as an immediate physical barrier over the freshly severed stem vascular system, protecting fragile cuttings from rapid dehydration, air embolisms, and wilting.
• Total Pathogen Guard Protection: The advanced protective layer seals the open cutting to minimize the risk of bacterial ingress or fungal contamination, protecting sensitive genetic lines from damping-off issues.
• Complete Nutrient Infusion: Loaded with a specialized profile of essential trace vitamins and mineral co-factors to nourish new root initials immediately upon emergence, ensuring rapid plant establishment.

Product Technical Specifications Matrix:

Primary Cultivation Applications

• Commercial Wholesale Nurseries: An exceptional choice for maintaining a perpetual rotation of clean, rooted plugs, ensuring downstream production benches are continuously filled without production delays.
• Vertical Indoor Micro-Farms: Perfect for space-restricted multi-tier cloning facilities looking to take advantage of rapid root initiation times to shorten overall vegetative cycle turnarounds.
• Dedicated Genetic Preservation: A clean, predictable and proven chemical setup ideal for isolating delicate genetic backups, mother plant cuttings, and premium strain hunting selections.

Advanced Media Conditioning & Propagation Management Tips:

• Managing Humidity During Initiation: During the critical first 4 to 7 days after taking cuttings, keep all propagation dome vents fully closed and rely on the purple gel's protective seal to manage stem moisture. This locks in the required 85% to 95% relative humidity inside the dome without draining internal plant reserves. Once root initials begin to break through your rockwool, peat, or coco plugs, slowly crack open the vents to reduce humidity and harden off the plants.
• Decanted Working Vessels for Maximum Cleanliness: When drawing from primary bottles for large nursery runs, always pour a small, dedicated portion into a separate shot glass or dipping cup rather than dipping stems directly into the master container. Because raw plant tissue can introduce organic contaminants, discard any leftover used gel from your working cup at the end of the day to ensure a completely sterile environment for the next cloning shift.
• Precise Depth Dipping: Insert the clean cut stem firmly into the gel matrix to a depth of roughly 10mm to 15mm, ensuring the lower node area is fully enveloped. Insert the stem gently into your pre-formed propagation plug hole so the gel layer is not scraped off at the media entry point, ensuring constant contact with the cambium tissue.
• Nursery Sanitation Protocols: Between cloning cycles, clean all cutting tools and dipping stations completely. Spray down your work surfaces with an appropriate horticultural sanitizer. Wipe tools clean and dry with a soft microfibre cloth to avoid corroding sharp blades, keeping your workspace immaculate before preparing the next round of cuttings.

Grower Pro Tip & Gel Management: To get the absolute best results out of your Clonex Purple Gel, always make your final stem cut at a sharp 45-degree angle right through or directly below a leaf node using a sterile, razor-sharp blade. Dipping the cutting into Clonex immediately after this cut prevents air bubbles from blocking the stem's vascular pathways. The gel will immediately lock onto the wound site, delivering its 3g/L IBA load precisely where the plant's natural cellular response is most active!

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Since oversized items require special handling, we may need to provide a custom freight quote for your order and will contact you with an updated shipping rate.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup - default method
✔ Direct delivery - requires forklift on site
✔ Direct delivery with tailgate lift truck (extra fees apply)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Because of the forklift requirement, delivery to the nearest depot is the default option and will be the method used unless you contact us to request otherwise.

Business Delivery:

• Business delivery is available for commercial customers only
• If you select business delivery and your products are bulky, it is your responsibility to ensure you have appropriate equipment (including forklifts) to unload products from the delivery truck
• If you select business delivery and you are not a business, you risk your product not being delivered and may incur additional fees to retrieve your order
• Business delivery customers must provide a valid business address and contact information
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

Let us know your preference, and we'll arrange the best solution for you!

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
