Common questions about this category

Answers for buyers sourcing cloning & seed starting.

What do I need to set up a commercial propagation area?
The essentials are a clean rooting medium (plugs or cubes), trays and humidity domes, a cloning gel or rooting hormone, controlled humidity and temperature, and gentle light. Sanitation and consistency drive strike rates more than any single product, so standardize the whole station.
Which propagation media is best for clones?
Common choices are stone wool cubes, coco or peat plugs, and foam or aeroponic systems. Stone wool and coco suit most fertigation programs, while aeroponic cloners can speed rooting. Match the plug to your transplant media so roots transition without check.
How do I improve clone success rates?
Keep cuttings clean, use a rooting hormone, hold high humidity and steady warmth at the root zone, and avoid overwatering. Consistency across every tray, from cutting technique to environment, matters more than chasing any single product.
Can I buy propagation supplies in bulk?
Yes, and plugs, trays, and domes suit bulk purchasing on a propagation schedule. Confirm lead time and storage conditions for media so you have fresh, uniform supplies ready for each round without overstocking perishables.
