Root!t 24 Cell Propagator

Description

The Root!t 24 Cell Propagator features a ridged base tray allowing water to drain away and the sponges to retain the correct amount of moisture. The holes in the base of the insert will allow you to easily push up the sponge without damaging the plantlet or roots. The adjustable vent allows for controlling humidity. Dimensions:

• Length – 32cm
• Width – 21.5cm
• Height – 17.5cm

Plugs Not Included A good cutting is between 7 and 10cm long. A green flexible stem will give you the best chance of successfully cloning your plants. With a clean, sharp blade or pruner, cut at a 45° angle. Place cuttings immediately in water submerging the cut. Dip each cutting into the rooting gel covering the bottom 1cm and especially the wound. Place the fresh cutting into a rock wool cube, Jiffy pellet or Preforma plug and into your Root!t 24 Cell Propagator. Keep the vents closed for the first 3-4 days after cuttings are placed into the propagator. Open the dome at least twice a day for 1 min for fresh air. From day 5-6 the vent can be opened slightly and lid removed 4-5 times a day for 1-2 mins. Roots will emerge from day 7-9. Harden clones off by slowly adjusting them to their new environment.

Rooting/Cloning Tips:

• Foliar applications of kelp 2 weeks prior to cutting can aid in root development.
• Take cuttings later in the day rather than early in the morning.
• Mix a very weak nutrient solution and use this to expand or soak plugs in.(EC < 0.6)
• Temps around 24 degrees are best for striking roots.
