I tried gel2root last year. Didn’t work. I had some cuttings leaf out but no roots. I tried this on citrus and pomegranate. After 4-6 weeks, although they were alive, I looked into it some more and sounds like a lot of people were poopooing the product. So I took them out and rooted indoors with a mini grow light. 2/3 pomegranates rooted and are still growing (outdoors now). Citrus puttered along for another month or so then dried out.
I had one lomegaranate cutting hat I just neglected and out in a pot outdoors. That grew and outstripped all the other cuttings I tried. I won’t be using gel2root anymore.
My 2 cents. Let me know if it works.
I am currently rooting about 40 different fig cuttings with rooting hormone. And it seems like the best outcome for me has been with rooting hormone (dip n grow or clonex) and wrapping with parafilm vs putting on a heating mat and covering with a humidity dome with temperature control and t5 grow lights. The latter is doing better than the former. I have cuttings in my greenhouse but temps there aren’t as well controlled so those are behind in development.i
In short, I say wrap with parafilm, root with hormone, use a seedling heating mat, and keep the humidity up.
