Clone Rooting Success Rate Calculator
Calculate observed clone rooting success from the number of cuttings started and successfully rooted.
Track clone rooting performance
Enter the number of cuttings placed into propagation and the number that developed acceptable roots within your observation period. The calculator reports the rooted percentage and unsuccessful count.
Twenty rooted cuttings from twenty-four started produces an observed success rate of 83.3%.
Define a rooted clone consistently
Choose a repeatable standard, such as visible roots of a minimum length or successful transplant establishment. Record the same observation window for each batch.
Why success rates change
Mother-plant health, cutting position, tool cleanliness, temperature, humidity, light intensity, media moisture, handling, and cultivar can all affect results.
Better propagation records
- Label source plant and batch date.
- Record environment and rooting method.
- Separate rooting success from post-transplant survival.
- Sanitize tools and trays appropriately.
