What is Ezi Root 50ml Rooting Gel and how does it work?
Ezi Root is a ready-to-use rooting gel for plant cuttings. It contains two rooting hormones (IBA and NAA) to promote fast root development, plus a built-in fungicide and wetting agent. It’s alcohol-free, non-burning, and ideal for delicate cuttings. The blue gel also makes application easy to see.
How do I apply Ezi Root Rooting Gel correctly?
Dip the base of a fresh cutting (not the whole stem) into a small, clean portion of gel, then insert it into your propagation media. Don’t dip directly into the bottle or reuse gel—this avoids contamination. You only need a thin, even coat—no need to cake it or rub it in.
Which propagation methods and media can I use with Ezi Root?
Ezi Root works with soil, coco, rockwool, perlite, plugs, and cloners. It's not meant for mixing into water systems or reservoirs. In cloners, apply to the cutting—not the water—to avoid clogging sprayers or pumps.
What types of plants can I propagate with Ezi Root?
Ezi Root is effective for softwood, semi-hardwood, and hardwood cuttings, including houseplants, succulents (after callusing), herbs, fruiting plants, roses, and many tropicals. It won't fix incompatible propagation types—success depends on clean cuts and stable conditions.
Do I need a humidity dome or heat mat when using Ezi Root?
Often yes—especially for soft or tropical cuttings. Ezi Root supports rooting, but humidity prevents wilting. Bright, indirect light and warm temps (around 20–25°C) help. Skip fertilising until roots form, and consider beneficial microbes—just don’t add them to the gel itself.
How soon will cuttings root with Ezi Root, and how do I care for them?
Rooting time varies by plant—some show roots in a few days, others take weeks. Keep the media moist (not soggy), maintain humidity, and water gently after planting. Once rooted, reduce humidity gradually and increase airflow to harden off.
Is Ezi Root Rooting Gel safe to handle?
It’s safe when used properly, but gloves are recommended. Avoid contact with eyes or skin, and wash hands after use. If irritation occurs, rinse thoroughly and seek advice. Store cool and sealed—refrigeration is fine, but don’t store with food.
How do I know if my Ezi Root Gel has gone bad?
If the gel becomes runny, discoloured, smells off, or has been exposed to heat or sunlight, it’s best to discard it. Use clean portions each session and never return used gel to the container.
Can I use Ezi Root for water propagation or grafting?
Ezi Root is designed for media-based propagation. It's not meant to sit in water jars or reservoirs. For grafting or air-layering, other techniques may be more effective—use Ezi Root where it shines: on fresh cuttings going into media.
Is Ezi Root Rooting Gel beginner-friendly?
Yes—it’s easy to use and works across many plant types. Most issues come from poor hygiene, overwatering, or skipping humidity. Start with clean tools, use fresh media, and don’t blast cuttings with direct sun or heavy feeding before roots appear.
How many cuttings can I treat with a 50ml bottle of Ezi Root?
You’ll get dozens—possibly hundreds—of cuttings from one 50ml bottle, depending on how much gel you use. A little goes a long way when applied properly to just the rooting zone.
Why choose Ezi Root over rooting powders or other gels?
Unlike powders, Ezi Root coats the cutting evenly and sticks better, especially for soft or sappy stems. It’s alcohol-free, has dual rooting hormones, and includes a built-in antifungal—giving you an edge in rooting success.
What’s the best way to keep things hygienic during propagation?
Sterilise your tools, avoid double-dipping, make a pilot hole in the media, and discard used gel after each session. Cleanliness reduces rot and disease, especially when working with many cuttings.
