TL;DR
Propagation hormones and starter feeds help cuttings and seedlings root faster and establish clean, healthy growth. Use rooting gels/mists for clones and gentle, low-EC nutrients for young plants to reduce losses and improve success rates.

Propagation hormones are rooting products (gels, liquids, or sprays) that support root initiation in cuttings. Propagation feeds are mild nutrient formulas designed for seedlings, clones, and young plants — providing essential elements without overfeeding.
