I just bought a couple of these gel rooting systems that look like 6 packs of clear yogurt in clear containers. They claim to be able to root 3 cuttings in each section. The neat thing about this is you can watch and see if, when and how the cuttings start sending out roots. When there is enough root development you then transfer the rooted cuttings to a regular container.
So the question are:
Has anyone had success with this means of citrus propagation?
and Should I put these on a heat mat in my warming greenhouse? (table top type)? or just on the counter in the kitchen?

Thanks, Greg

Hi Greg. I have used them with great success. If always used them outside in the shade though. I have rooted Oranges, Satsuma Madarins, Grapefruit and Citrons with them.

If you like, make it on your own.

Simply take some old yoghurt pots, clean and in order.
Now take some gelatine or agar-agar. Use them as given, usually they were given in hot water and build up a gel. So, be carefull... stir well and as you reduce heat and it get's sticky, stir a very low amount of liquid fertilizer to the gel and add a rooting hormone, if liquid or as power, doesn't mtter.
The hormone will mix up in the gel, hich you now filll in the pots.
Seal them with Parafilm and wait until fully hardened and cold.
Then rip off the parafilm, stuff your cuttings in and then wait...
Place in shade and keep air moisture on about 90% rH.... Usually roots can be spot through the agar and the rooted cutting can be taken ou, rinsed and planted...
Sometimes mold will grow on the gellatine or agar surface, simply prevent by spraying a diluted ammonium chloride or super hydroxid solution to the surface....
