How do I clone in perlite & vermiculite?
Equipment: Sharp clean scissors vermiculite perlite water propagation tray w/tall humidity dome or large tall ziploc bags 3.5 inch square planting containers or other similarly sized container rooting hormone (optional) Olivia’s Cloning Solution or OT1 cloning solution (optional) heating pad (optional) Perlite and vermiculite, combined at a 1:1 ratio, make an effective, cheap, and widely available cloning medium. Simply mix 50% perlite with 50% vermiculite, add enough water so it’s moist, and fill your small containers. Optionally, use Olivia’s Cloning Solution or OT1’s cloning solution (1 ml 30% H202, 5 ml Maxicrop to 1 liter of water) to moisten medium. Note wash/rinse any new perlite with PH 6.0 water to remove any dust residue before use when cloning. 1) Prepare your mother plants at least 6 hours in advance with a fresh drink of water so they are fully loaded before you cut. 2) Using a screwdriver, toothpick, or alien probe, make a small hole in the medium, about 3 cm deep at each
