Tissue cultures are now available! You will receive one plant in a plastic bag as displayed in the second picture. They will be grower's choice only, size and variegation may vary. Please read carefully the acclimation instruction below if you are not familiar with growing tissue culture plants from the early stages. 

1. Removal from Bags or Culture Vessels

Carefully remove the plantlets without damaging the delicate roots and shoots.

Rinse off the gel under clean, lukewarm water to prevent fungal or bacterial growth. 

Submerge the palntlets in a mild fungicide solution with a few drops of hydrogen peroxide for 5-10 minutes. 

2. Transplanting to Substrate

Transfer the rinsed plantlets into a small 2 inch pots  filled with a sterile potting medium with good drainage.

Plant at the same depth they were growing in vitro.

3. High-Humidity Environment

Place the potted plantlets in a humidity dome to maintain 100% humidity initially.

Keep low light levels (indirect or diffused light) to reduce stress and water loss.

Temperature: 70-80 F 

4. Gradual Hardening

Over 1–3 weeks (varies by species): Gradually reduce humidity by opening the covers or vents a little more each day. 

Increase light intensity slowly to adapt plants to normal greenhouse conditions.

5. Nutrient and Water Management

Water with clean water; avoid overwatering.

After 7–10 days, begin light fertilization with a diluted nutrient solution (1/2 strength) 

6. Final Transfer

Once the plants have hardened (showing new growth, thicker leaves, and strong roots), transfer them to larger pots and continue to fertilize regularly.

Continue monitoring for pests, diseases, and gradual adaptation to ambient humidity and light.
