- - Propagation substrates in the form of rock wool rooting cubes (Grodan), peat and perlite (X-Plug of Platinium or Eazy Plug), or coconut fibre (Ugro or Root Riot from The Growth Technology);
- - Hormones and additives, designed to root cuttings effectively through the addition of auxins (Clone Xroots of Platinium) and to develop the existing root system in a very dynamic way, thanks to powerful root stimulators (such as Rhizoponic from Platinium or Phase 1 of Vaalserberg Garden, for example);
- clone systems, or aeroponic growing systems specially developed for the rooting of any clone, in a safe and fast way, such as the SuperCloner range from Platinium;
- scissors and scalpels, to prune, manicure plants or to take cuttings;
- propagation greenhouses, which ensure stable temperatures and humidity levels and thus guarantee an optimised root setting;
- and other cutting accessories, such as plant identification labels, heating mats for use under propagation greenhouses, ...
What are the determining factors in the rooting of seedlings and cuttings?
Generally speaking, both seedlings and clones, young plants require an atmosphere conducive to this particular phase of germination or cutting. Indeed, to be followed with the help of a thermohygrometer, a very high hygrometry and a comfortable temperature actively contribute to a healthy and vigorous rooting of the young plants.
