Technaflora Rootech Gel is a gel-based cloning gel made for rooting cuttings and vegetative propagation, helping growers accelerate rooting and support rapid, healthy root development. This rooting gel is designed to coat the fresh cut end of a cutting, creating a clean, consistent starting point for new roots.
This cloning gel is built around a thick, rich formula that clings to plant cuttings, so the coating stays in place where it matters. The gel format also avoids the dusty handling associated with powdered rooting products, which many growers prefer when setting up a tidy propagation routine. If you’re working through batches of cuttings, the wide-mouthed container makes quick, repeatable dipping convenient without turning your bench into a mess.
Rootech Gel is positioned as a strong rooting hormone option for vegetative propagation, including for the most hard-to-root plants. The goal is straightforward: more reliable starts, faster root initiation, and healthier early rooting so young plants can move forward with less hesitation. The formula is also described as delivering readily available sustenance to the cutting, supporting the transition from freshly cut stem to actively rooting start.
The active ingredients include indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and vitamin B-1, alongside inert ingredients in the gel base. That compact ingredient profile is useful for shoppers who want a cloning gel with a clearly stated rooting-hormone active, plus a simple supporting component list, without needing a complex multi-part propagation program.
This cloning gel is a good fit for growers who want a thick gel rooting hormone that supports rapid, healthy root development during vegetative propagation, especially when rooting cuttings from harder-to-root plant varieties. It’s also well suited to anyone who prefers a gel-based cloning gel in a wide-mouthed container for clean, repeatable propagation work.

Indole Butyric Acid (IBA) is important because it helps cuttings form new roots faster and more reliably, which reduces wilting, stalling, and failure during propagation. It’s unique because it works as a targeted rooting signal that specifically supports root initiation instead of simply “boosting growth” in general.
Inert ingredients matter because they control how a garden product mixes, spreads, sticks, and performs on plants, making them unique from active ingredients that only describe the main “job” of the product. When inert ingredients are too harsh or poorly matched to your grow conditions, they can cause leaf burn, residue, or root-zone stress that looks like a nutrient problem but is actually a delivery and compatibility issue.
Vitamin B1 is important because it supports plant energy metabolism during recovery, helping plants rebuild roots and resume growth more smoothly after stress. It’s unique from most other plant inputs because it doesn’t feed the plant like a fertilizer or force growth like a hormone—it mainly supports the plant’s internal energy-use systems while you correct the real stress cause.
