FloraMax Cloner is a premium, 100% organic stem-dip gel designed to protect cuttings (clones) before they are planted. Its specially formulated, ultra-thin gel rapidly absorbs into the stem, sealing the cut and preventing air from entering the tissue. This helps preserve the cutting during the critical pre-rooting stage, reducing shock and contamination risk.
The gel features an almost indefinite shelf-life it resists drying out, spoilage or thickening over time. It also tolerates cross-contamination, meaning you’re less likely to introduce pathogens back into the bottle when using it repeatedly.
FloraMax’s proprietary formula is derived from purified organic molecules (e.g. from kelp, fulvic acid and guano) that are optimised for fast absorption, minimal waste, and no synthetic hormones or PGRs.
Key Features:
Fast absorption – Thin gel penetrates stem tissue more quickly than thicker gels, promoting faster hydration and treatment.
Seals and protects cut ends – Forms a protective coating to block air bubbles entering the stem, which can damage tissue.
Ultra-stable formulation – Resistant to drying out, long shelf life (10+ years), and doesn’t spoil in the bottle.
High cross-contamination resistance – Minimises risk of reintroducing pathogens when dipping many cuttings.
Purified organic composition – Made from refined molecular extracts (e.g., kelp, fulvic acid, guano) to deliver benefits without foaming, pH shifts, or residue.
No synthetic hormones – Free of PGRs, making it gentle and safe for delicate cuttings.
Directions:
Pour a small amount of the gel into a clean, sterile container.
Dip the cut end of each cutting (about 10mm) into the gel to coat it thoroughly.
Immediately place the treated cutting into your medium stonewool, coco, peat plug or aeroponic system.
Discard leftover gel do not return unused gel to the original bottle (to prevent contamination).
Store Cloner in a cool, dark, tightly-sealed container. Avoid exposure to high heat or light.
Avoid combining with oxidisers do not use with Hydrogen Peroxides or chlorine-based products.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to dilute Cloner before use?
No. FloraMax Cloner is used undiluted simply dip the base of the cutting directly into the gel.
Can I reuse leftover gel after dipping cuttings?
No, it’s recommended to discard any leftover gel after use to prevent contamination of the main bottle.
Will Cloner clog my propagation system or drip lines?
Unlikely. The ultra-thin gel is designed to absorb quickly into tissue and not leave sticky residues.
How long does FloraMax Cloner last in storage?
Very long it is highly stable with a shelf-life of over 10 years if stored properly.
Is Cloner safe for all types of plants and cuttings?
Yes it works with both softwood and hardwood cuttings across many species.
Can I use Cloner with Hydrogen Peroxide or bleach to sterilise cuttings?
No. You should never mix Cloner with peroxides or chlorine-based sterilising agents, as they can degrade its organic formulation.
