How to Use Westland Rooting Gel

Using Westland Rooting Gel is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps to ensure optimal results:

1. Prepare Your Cuttings:

   • Select healthy, disease-free cuttings from your desired plant.
   • Use a clean, sharp knife or pruning shears to make a clean cut just below a node (the point where a leaf joins the stem).
   • Remove any lower leaves to expose the stem.

2. Apply the Gel:

   • Pour a small amount of rooting gel into a separate container to avoid contaminating the entire jar.
   • Dip the cut end of the cutting into the gel, ensuring it is well-coated.
   • Allow any excess gel to drip off before planting.

3. Plant the Cuttings:

   • Insert the gel-coated cutting into a pot filled with a well-draining, sterile rooting medium such as perlite, vermiculite, or a seed-starting mix.
   • Firmly press the medium around the cutting to hold it in place.

4. Provide Optimal Conditions:

   • Place the pot in a warm, bright location with indirect sunlight.
   • Maintain high humidity by covering the pot with a plastic bag or using a propagation dome.
   • Keep the rooting medium consistently moist but not waterlogged.

5. Monitor and Transplant:

   • Check for root development after a few weeks by gently tugging on the cutting.
   • Once roots have formed, transplant the cutting into a larger pot or directly into the garden.

Maintenance Tips for Successful Propagation

• Sterilize Tools: Always use clean, sterilized tools when taking cuttings to prevent the spread of diseases.
• Optimal Conditions: Maintain a warm, humid environment for the cuttings to encourage root growth.
• Avoid Overwatering: Keep the rooting medium moist but avoid overwatering, which can lead to rot.
• Gradual Acclimation: Gradually acclimate the new plants to outdoor conditions before transplanting them into the garden.

Additional Uses and Tips

• Propagation of Various Plants: Westland Rooting Gel can be used for a wide range of plants, including houseplants, shrubs, and herbs.
• Extend the Life of the Gel: To prevent contamination, always pour out a small amount of gel into a separate container for use.
• Proper Storage: Store the gel in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its effectiveness.
