Soil

First of all there`s cloning into soil.

The soil used should not be too heavily fertilised otherwise the clones will get scorched. I`m watering with plain pH adjusted (about 6.5) water. No nutes or anything are needed at this stage.

Pic shows 4 little pots of soil along with some rooting gel (contains hormones which encourage growth of roots).
Clonex is obtainable from hydro stores, any rooting gel or powder from a garden centre or wherever should work fine. In fact the rooting hormone isn`t absolutely necessary, this will work without hormones, they just speed things up.

The soil should be moist all the way through, not sodden.
