Hydro Clone Cloning Collars Green Soft (35pcs/Pack)

Hydro Clone Cloning Collars are premium neoprene plant cloning aids designed for professional and hobbyist hydroponic and aeroponic growers. This 35-piece pack of soft 2-inch (50.8 mm) collars provides the perfect gentle grip for your cuttings, helping them stay secure while promoting healthy root development in cloning systems.

Made in the USA with high-quality neoprene, these durable, reusable collars are engineered to fit standard cloning setups, including popular hydroponic systems. Their soft texture minimizes stem damage, reduces light exposure to the rooting zone, and helps maintain ideal moisture levels around the cutting base. Whether you're propagating herbs, vegetables, flowers, or cannabis clones, these collars deliver consistent results with minimal effort.

Benefits

• Gentle & Secure Hold - The soft neoprene material cradles delicate stems without crushing or restricting growth, reducing the risk of stem rot or damage.
• Light Blocking - Opaque design prevents algae growth by blocking light from reaching the rooting area.
• Reusable & Durable - High-quality construction stands up to repeated use and sterilization cycles.
• Universal Compatibility - Designed to work seamlessly with most aeroponic and hydroponic cloning machines (e.g., 2" net pots, cloning collars slots, and standard hydro trays).
• Easy Maintenance - Simple to clean and sterilize for disease-free propagation.
• Made in USA - Supports quality manufacturing standards you can trust.

Cleaning & Sterilization Instructions

Cleaning:

• Rinse collars thoroughly with clean water to remove any plant residue, gel, or debris.
• Air dry completely before reuse.

Full Sterilization (recommended between cloning cycles):

1. Soak collars in a 10-20% bleach solution or hydrogen peroxide solution for 20-30 minutes.
2. Rinse thoroughly with clean water multiple times to remove all sterilizing agents.
3. Optionally, wash with a mild soap and rinse again.
4. Allow to air dry fully or pat dry with a clean towel.
5. Store in a clean, dry location until next use.

Installation Instructions

1. Select a healthy cutting with a clean diagonal cut.
2. Gently slide the Hydro Clone collar onto the stem, positioning it near the base where it will sit in the cloning system.
3. Insert the collar + cutting into your aeroponic or hydroponic cloning chamber, net pot, or tray slot. The collar should fit snugly to hold the cutting upright.
4. Ensure the stem end is in contact with the rooting solution or mist (follow your specific cloning system guidelines).
5. Monitor for the first few days and adjust as needed for optimal stability.
