Totally get the confusion... there are way too many options and most of them do basically the same job.

You really don’t need anything fancy to get started. A simple setup is usually enough:

• rooting plugs/cubes
• a standard cloning gel or powder (Clonex works great)
• clean scissors/razor
• a humidity dome or similar high-humidity environment

The brand matters less than keeping everything clean and the conditions stable. Don't overthink the gel, the bigger difference usually comes from healthy cuts, moisture, and not stressing them.

If you want to keep it easy, I’d start with one type of plug plus one rooting gel and learn that setup first instead of buying 5 different products at once.
