Why
don't the leaves need misting?
The air pump forces air through a bubble stone sitting on the
bottom of the tank, this causes warm humid air to rise past
the leaves and keep them moist. Not only does this cut out the
need to mist them, but because the water can be dosed with a
rooting accelerant this will feed the leaves also.
Will
the rockwool cubes dry out?
The rockwool cubes are suspended in a polystyrene cell tray
that floats with the water continuously sitting ¼ the way up
the cubes keeping them nice and moist.
If
the cubes are wet all the time will the cuttings rot?
In most cases cuttings that are left in stationary water for
long periods of time can be affected by fungal problems. To
overcome this possible problem the RapidCloneT continuously
oxygenates the water with the air pump, this is an excellent
way to deter any fungal problems. The option of safely adding
a fungal deterrent to the tank is also explained in the manual.
What
about controlling the humidity?
With the dual adjustable air pumps you are able to set the humidity
to your specifications
Will
the RapidCloneT reduce the time for the cuttings to root?
No, it will still take the normal amount of time; this is usually
between 8 - 14 days depending on the strength and type of plant
you are taking cuttings from. However, due to the cuttings receiving
the perfect environment in the RapidCloneT they will surprise
you by forming larger clusters of roots that explode out of
the bottom of the cubes resembling a thick healthy jungle.
What
types of plants are suitable for the RapidCloneT?
This unit has great success with all types of plants; any plant
that has the gene ability to be reproduced via the cuttings
method will thrive in the RapidCloneT. This unit is ideal for
the hydroponics or home garden enthusiasts, a great way to multiply,
introduce, swap, or sell a wide variety of plants.
