Description
The Disposable Scalpel is a sterile, single use blade for taking clean cuttings. A clean, sharp cut helps cuttings root faster and reduces the risk of infection.
Options
- Single scalpel
- Pack of 10
Why use a fresh scalpel for cuttings?
Scissors and blunt knives crush the stem as they cut, damaging the tissue that needs to root. A fresh, sharp blade gives a clean cut, and starting each session with a new sterile blade stops you carrying disease from one plant to the next.
How to take a cutting
Cut just below a leaf node at an angle, dip the cut end in rooting gel straight away, then set it into a Jiffy peat pellet or Root Riot cube inside a propagator.
FAQs
Can I reuse it?
It is designed for single use. A new sterile blade each time keeps cuts clean and avoids spreading disease.
Single or pack of 10?
A single scalpel suits an occasional batch of cuttings. The pack of 10 suits regular propagation.
