ROOT!T Hobby Heat Mat – EU Plug

The ROOT!T Hobby Heat Mat is essential for early propagation and developing roots on cuttings fast. Creating a gentle heat when placed under a propagator, they will keep the cold at bay protecting your seedlings. 

The ROOT!T Heat Mat will allow you to start your propagation earlier or continue later in the season. A heat is generated by the single mesh element encased inside a waterproof, frayproof matting. Controllable by the Root!t Heat Mat Thermostat, you’ll be propagating like a pro.

Ideal to withstand the tough greenhouse environment.

Use in conjunction with Happy Harvest Rooting Gel and Propagation Domes for the best results.

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. Lastly place the fresh cutting into a rock wool cube, Jiffy pellet or Preforma plug. Kept humid at 24° roots should appear in 7 to 14 days.

Rooting/Cloning Tips:

• A foliar application of kelp 2 weeks before cuttings are made can aid in root development.
• Take cuttings later in the day rather than early in the morning.
• To ensure a long shelf life, store rooting gel in the fridge.
• To avoid contamination, do not dip cuttings into rooting gel jar. Take a small amount of rooting gel from the jar or bottle to use for cuttings and discard afterward.
• Don’t add any nutrients to your solution or water used for germination or propagation.
• Once clones have rooted, feed with an EC of 1.2 or 600ppm
