A cutting has no roots and no way to make food until it grows some, so the first few weeks decide whether it strikes or rots. Clonex Purple is Growth Technology's rooting hormone gel, made in Australia and registered with the APVMA (No. 33350), carrying indole butyric acid (IBA) at 3 g/L. Because it is a gel, it clings to the stem, seals the cut end and holds the hormone where roots form. Purple is the middle of Growth Technology's three strengths, made for semi-hardwood (medium-wood) cuttings, and Growth Technology states it can be used on all types of plants. Available in 50ml, 250ml, 1L, 5L and 20L.

APVMA-registered rooting hormone. Active constituent: indole butyric acid (IBA) 3 g/L. APVMA No. 33350. Read the label safety directions before use. Growth Technology pairs it with Clonex Clone Solution (CCS): gel when you take the cutting, CCS while roots develop.
Registered, with a published strengthAPVMA No. 33350 and 3 g/L IBA on the label. You know exactly which hormone is going on the stem and at what strength.
Gel stays where you put itGrowth Technology's gel gives even coverage and lasting contact around the stem, so the hormone stays at the cut while roots form. No mixing, no measuring.
Seals the cut endThe gel seals the fresh cut, which Growth Technology says helps stop air entering the stem while the cutting forms roots.
The right strength for semi-hardwoodPurple sits between Clonex Green (1.5 g/L) and Clonex Red (8.0 g/L). It is Growth Technology's pick for medium-wood cuttings.
A small jar goes a long wayGrowth Technology puts it at several thousand cuttings per litre, depending on stem thickness and dip depth. Decant what you need and the rest stays clean.
Lasts two years once openedGrowth Technology rates it effective for up to two years after opening when it is decanted, not dipped into, and kept cool.

Grower's Tip
  • Never dip cuttings straight into the bottle. Decant enough for the session into a clean container, use it, and throw out what is left. That is how the gel stays good for two years.
  • Use clean, sharp tools and cut at 45 degrees just below a node, as Growth Technology directs. A crushed stem roots slower than a clean cut.
  • If cuttings form a callus but no roots, the hormone is too strong for that plant. Growth Technology's answer is a lower strength: Clonex Green (1.5 g/L) for soft, sappy cuttings.
  • Keep the jar in the fridge. If it has turned runny in a hot shed, chill it and it thickens back up.
  • Cuttings are commonly run under 24 hours of light, but that is plant-specific and some varieties do better with a few hours of dark. Check what suits the plant you are propagating rather than treating any photoperiod as a rule.
  • Once the cuttings are in the medium, feed them with Clonex Clone Solution at 5ml per litre until roots establish. That is the second half of the system Growth Technology designed.

How To Use It
1Clean and sterilise your knife or secateurs. Take the cutting and cut the stem at 45 degrees just below a node.
2Pour enough gel for the session into a clean container. Do not dip into the bottle.
3Dip the cut end into the gel to the depth you want roots to form.
4Set the cutting straight into your propagation medium: rockwool, a propagation plug or potting mix.
5Water and feed with Clonex Clone Solution at 5ml per litre while roots develop.
6Throw out any gel left in the container, cap the bottle and put it back in the fridge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Clonex Purple a registered rooting hormone?

Yes. It is registered with the APVMA (No. 33350) and its active constituent is indole butyric acid (IBA) at 3 g/L, both printed on the label.

Which cuttings is Clonex Purple for?

Semi-hardwood, or medium-wood, cuttings. Growth Technology makes three strengths: Green (1.5 g/L IBA) for softwood, Purple (3.0 g/L) for medium wood and Red (8.0 g/L) for hardwood.

Can I use it on houseplant cuttings?

Yes. Growth Technology states it can be used on all types of plants. Choose the strength by how woody the stem is, and if a cutting calluses without rooting, step down a strength.

Can I dip cuttings straight into the bottle?

No. Decant what you need into a clean container and discard the leftover. Dipping into the bottle contaminates the rest of the gel.

Do I need Clonex Clone Solution as well?

No, the gel works on its own, but Growth Technology designed the two to work together: Clonex gel when the cutting is taken, CCS to feed it while roots develop. They are not interchangeable.

How many cuttings will a bottle do?

Growth Technology puts it at several thousand cuttings per litre. The real number depends on how thick the stems are and how deep you dip.

Why has my Clonex gone runny?

Heat. Warm storage makes the gel liquefy. Put it in the fridge and it thickens again.

How long does it last once opened?

Up to two years, according to Growth Technology, provided you decant rather than dip into the bottle and keep it cool, ideally refrigerated.

Do I need gloves?

Not by the label, but the label does say to avoid prolonged skin contact and to wash skin thoroughly if contact occurs. Gloves are the easy way to do that. Keep it out of reach of children.

Welcome to The Grow Guys

We built The Grow Guys from the soil up — well, coco and perlite. Before we sold gear, we bought it, ran it, and learned the hard way what's worth the money and what ends up in the shed. That's the filter everything on our shelves passes through. No sales scripts, no rebadged junk, no telling you what you want to hear. Just gear we'd run ourselves and advice from people who actually grow. Chasing higher yields, tighter flowers, or your first harvest? You're in the right place.
