Clone Collars for Hydroponic and Aeroponic Propagation Neoprene cloning collars (sometimes called clone pucks or cloning inserts) are widely used in hydroponic propagation systems across North America. These collars support plant cuttings while the stem is suspended in an oxygen-rich environment, allowing roots to develop quickly without soil or traditional rooting media. Hydroponic growers commonly use clone collars in aeroponic cloning machines, deep water culture (DWC) propagation setups, and DIY cloners built from buckets or storage totes. Because neoprene is flexible and non-absorbent, the collar holds the cutting securely without trapping excess water around the stem. This simple design has made neoprene cloning collars the standard choice for cloning tomatoes, peppers, herbs, and other plants grown in hydroponic systems. Compatible with Most Cloning Systems These neoprene clone pucks are compatible with most hydroponic propagation equipment that uses 5-inch cloning collars, including many commercial aeroponic cloners and DIY cloning machines. Growers frequently use them with net pots, cloning manifolds, and bucket-style cloners. They are commonly used for propagating: Tomatoes Peppers Herbs such as basil and mint Hydroponic vegetable starts Houseplant cuttings Reusable and Easy to Maintain One advantage of neoprene clone collars is that they can be reused many times. After each propagation cycle, collars can be rinsed and sanitized before the next round of cuttings. Because neoprene does not absorb water like rockwool or peat plugs, it dries quickly and resists contamination between cycles. For growers running larger propagation systems, reusable cloning collars can significantly reduce ongoing propagation costs compared to disposable media. Shipping Across North America IncrediGrow Garden Centre ships hydroponic supplies across Canada and the United States. These cloning collars are lightweight, easy to ship, and commonly ordered by growers setting up new aeroponic cloning systems or replacing worn clone pucks in existing equipment. Whether you are expanding a propagation setup or replacing collars in a cloning machine, bulk packages are often the most economical way to stock up. Why Many Growers Prefer Neoprene Clone Collars No rooting cubes or soil required Excellent oxygen exposure for developing roots Reusable across multiple cloning cycles Compatible with most aeroponic cloning machines Works well for hydroponic vegetable propagation For growers using hydroponic propagation systems, neoprene clone collars provide a simple and reliable way to produce healthy plant starts with minimal equipment.
