NextGen Rooting Gel
Plagron NextGen Rooting Gel is a hormone-free rooting gel for cuttings, certified as a biostimulant. Its natural rooting precursor drives a more extensive root system: more roots, longer roots and a higher number of root hairs, without any synthetic growth hormones. Pour a little gel into a clean cup, dip the bottom of the cutting and set it straight into the hole in a rooting plug. At 0.3 ml per cutting, the 150 ml bottle covers around five hundred cuttings on paper. The pouring spout keeps small doses manageable and the gel stays on the cut surface instead of running off. Store it closed, cool and dark. Order online at plantandflower.be.
Plagron NextGen Rooting Gel 150 ml — hormone-free rooting gel for cuttings
Plagron NextGen Rooting Gel is a rooting gel for cuttings that works as a certified biostimulant and contains no synthetic growth hormones. Its natural rooting precursor promotes a more extensive root system: more roots, longer roots and an increased number of root hairs. The 150 ml bottle sits in the cloning and propagation category.
Biostimulant, not a fertiliser and not a hormone
The distinction carries more weight than it first appears. A fertiliser supplies nutrients to the plant; a biostimulant supplies none, and instead strengthens the processes the plant already runs. NextGen Rooting Gel belongs to that second category, and it is hormone-free where many traditional gels and powders lean on synthetic growth hormones. For anyone propagating without those compounds, that is the entire point of the product.
- Hormone-free: no synthetic growth hormones anywhere in the formula.
- Root hairs: these fine structures handle most of the actual water and nutrient uptake, so density matters more than a single thick root.
- Adhesion: the gel stays on the cut surface rather than falling off during insertion, which powders often do.
- Coverage: at 0.3 ml per cutting, 150 ml works out at roughly five hundred cuttings.
How to apply it
Pour a small amount into a clean cup and work from there. Never dip straight into the bottle: sap and pathogens from cut surfaces end up in your stock and get passed to every following cutting. Use 0.3 ml per cutting and dip only the bottom two to three centimetres, the zone where roots are meant to form. Place the cutting immediately into the pre-made hole of a rooting plug and firm the medium lightly around it. Whatever is left in the cup gets discarded at the end of the session rather than poured back. The same hygiene logic applies to the blade: a clean cut on a clean tool costs nothing and removes one more variable from a process that already has plenty.

The rest of the propagation setup
A gel only performs as well as the setup around it. Cuttings need a medium that holds moisture without waterlogging: Root Riot cubes (50 pcs) do that job and come pre-holed. A propagator of 24 x 21 cm keeps humidity high around the tray, which decides more outcomes than any additive during the first days. Once roots appear, Plagron Vita Start 0.25 L handles the transition into the first real feeds.
One constraint sits outside any product's reach: until roots form, a cutting transpires more than it takes up. Keep humidity high, keep direct light off the tray and go easy on watering the plug. Order Plagron NextGen Rooting Gel online with fast shipping across Europe.
Is this gel a fertiliser?
No. Plagron NextGen Rooting Gel is a biostimulant rather than a fertiliser: it does not supply nutrients directly, it supports the cutting's own rooting processes. Your normal feed chart simply resumes once the cutting has rooted and moves into vegetative growth, and the gel changes nothing about it.
Rooting gel or a hormone powder — which works better?
They differ on two counts. A gel clings to the cut surface, while powder tends to be wiped off as the cutting goes into the plug. And the mechanism differs: most classic products rely on synthetic growth hormones, whereas this gel is hormone-free and works as a biostimulant. If avoiding synthetic hormones matters to you, that settles it.
How many cuttings does one bottle treat?
At the stated 0.3 ml per cutting, 150 ml comes out at about five hundred cuttings arithmetically. Real-world figures land lower, because you always pour slightly more into the cup than you strictly use and that remainder does not go back into the bottle. For hobby propagation the bottle lasts a long time regardless.
Do you ship this bottle across Europe?
Yes, orders leave our Belgian warehouse for destinations throughout Europe. The 150 ml bottle is small, sealed and ships without special handling. Store it closed in a cool, dark place after delivery so the gel keeps the consistency it is supposed to have.
