Athena Cuts | Water-Based Rooting Gel for Plant Cuttings

Athena Cuts – Water-Based Rooting Gel for Plant Cuttings

Athena Cuts is a premium water-based rooting gel developed for propagating new plants from stem and leaf cuttings. Its specialised gel formula coats the freshly cut stem and provides a controlled application of plant hormone, nutrients and vitamins to support consistent root initiation during propagation.

Suitable for a wide range of plant types, Athena Cuts can be used with woody and herbaceous cuttings, flowers, ornamental plants, vegetables and fruit trees. The gel consistency is designed to adhere effectively to the stem while helping seal the exposed tissue around the fresh cut.

The latest Athena Cuts 8 oz / 237 mL squeeze bottle makes application straightforward and helps reduce unnecessary handling and product waste. Gel can be applied directly to the cutting before it is placed into a suitable propagation cube, cloning system or rooting medium.

How Athena Cuts Rooting Gel Works

Athena Cuts coats the freshly cut section of plant tissue with a water-based gel containing an essential plant hormone together with nutrients and vitamins. The gel remains in contact with the stem while the cutting is transferred into its rooting medium.

Root development time varies according to plant variety, environmental conditions and propagation method. Depending on the variety, visible roots may develop within several days or may require several weeks.
