This is just a viscously compounded fertilizer which contains no hormonal stimulants at all to help promote rooting in plants. It's a thick mixture of water, viscous agents and fertilizers which you can make on your own! Very disappointed with the advertisements which act as though it contains IBA compounds or related ingredients to promote root formation. Don't buy it.

After reading other reviews for this stuff I decided to give it a try cloning Stevia Cuttings. No dice. No results at all. I tried both rockwool, water and soil for cloning with absolutely no results. Followed the directions to the letter and tried about 20 different cuttings to make sure it wasn't user error. Every single one of them died.

I got better results just sticking the stevia cuttings in straight water and changing it out once a week. At least I got those cuttings to survive and start to root after a month or so.

I always hate to write a negative review, but I just couldn't get this stuff to work.

I bought a bottle of this some months ago and have had excellent luck with it. I live in the subtropics and am a nut about cuttings that I see in my friend's gardens, along the roadside, wherever, and nearly every one of the cuttings that I have planted using this gel have taken. I have to order another bottle now, though, because I left it lying in the garden and one of my dogs ran off with it....

indole 3 butriatic acid. IBA3, is oneof the most used hormones for cloning agents. there are a few others, but none of those are in Olivia's either. this is just some gooey fertilizer. it doesn't actually belong in the category "cloning" or "rooting" products.

absolutely sad. if a plant clones easily, this won't kill it, usually. in situations when a cloning agent is actually needed, you won't find any here.

i have had better results sticking stems in water. aerated water. coco coir, rockwool, etc. root tech, clonex, etc are all much better and actually have necessary infredients relevant to ROOTING.

if you need to feed clones, prewater with 1/4 strength nutrient solution, or water with it once roots form.

don't waste money on this.

even schultz rooting powder is more effective.

agghh!!! the people i know who've lost so many cuttings using this gooey crap...

I recently tried Olivias after getting some for free and running out of Clonex. 100% failure rate. I had 99% or better with clonex. I took my cuttings after 3 weeks, recut them, used clonex and guess what? Roots 5 days later, as usual.

Buy Clonex
