Propagation Nutrient Kit - Everything Your Cuttings Need in One Box
Best for: Growers taking cuttings who want a matched rooting-to-early-growth feed without buying four separate products.
Our thoughts
Propagation is the stage where most new growers lose plants through guesswork - too weak a feed and cuttings stall, too strong and you burn them. This kit takes that decision away by bundling four products that are designed to work together in sequence. Straightforward, and it removes a genuine failure point for anyone new to cloning.
The Propagation Nutrient Kit bundles four established propagation products covering the full journey from fresh cutting to rooted, feeding plant: Clonex Rooting Gel (50ml), Dynomyco Mycorrhizal Inoculant (200g), and Shogun Start and Shogun Katana Roots (250ml each). Clonex is a well-known rooting gel that seals the cut stem and supplies rooting hormone and nutrients to encourage faster strike rates. Dynomyco is a mycorrhizal fungi inoculant applied to the growing medium, which colonises the root zone and improves water and nutrient uptake as the plant establishes.
Shogun Start is a balanced liquid feed for seedlings and cuttings, and Shogun Katana Roots is formulated to encourage root branching and resilience during the vulnerable propagation window. Used together in the order intended, they take a cutting from initial rooting gel dip through to its first proper feeds.
How it compares
Most growers buying propagation products separately end up with either an incomplete kit or overlap they didn't need.
- Buying Clonex, a mycorrhizal inoculant and two liquid feeds individually from different ranges usually costs more and risks gaps in the sequence.
- Complete propagation bundles are also sold by brands like Canna (Start kit) and Root!t, generally built around their own single-brand rooting gel and feed - this kit mixes proven products from Growth Technology (Clonex), Dynomyco and Shogun rather than sticking to one house brand.
- Standalone rooting gels alone (without a mycorrhizal inoculant or dedicated feed) leave you having to source the rest yourself.
A sensible one-box solution if you'd rather not piece a propagation programme together from scratch.
Usage guidance
Follow the sequence below and always check the label on each individual product for exact dilution rates, since these can vary by batch.
Taking the cutting
Dip the freshly cut stem into Clonex Rooting Gel before inserting it into your propagation medium - this seals the cut and delivers rooting hormone directly to the area that needs it.
At planting
Apply Dynomyco Mycorrhizal Inoculant to the growing medium at the point of planting so the fungi can establish alongside the developing root system.
Early feeding
Once the cutting is in its medium, introduce Shogun Start at a light dilution as your base feed through the propagation stage.
Root development
Add Shogun Katana Roots alongside your base feed to encourage stronger root branching as the cutting establishes.

Who this is for
- New growers taking their first cuttings who want a guided, complete approach
- Anyone who's had inconsistent strike rates with home-mixed feeds
- Growers who'd rather buy once than piece together four separate products
Best suited to anyone propagating from cuttings rather than growing from seed.
Our take
This kit earns its place by solving a genuine early-stage problem: knowing what to use, when, without having to research four separate product lines. Each component has an established track record on its own, and bundling them removes the guesswork of matching them up yourself.
One we sell a lot of for new growers who want their propagation stage sorted in one purchase.
