Tissue Culture Acclimation and Care
Getting new tissue culture plantlets off to the right start is key to their success. As excited as you may be to open your brand-new living treasures and show them some love, giving the newbies plenty of time to settle in is essential. Follow each of these six steps to ensure your new tissue culture makes the leap from its sterile home to your jungle.
- Unwrap but do not open for 1-2 days: Leave the cultures to settle and adjust to the temperature inside their plastic flasks.
- Thoroughly wash the plantlet: Remove all gel to avoid mold growth. Wash the plantlets a few times in clean running water.
- Plant your tissue culture plantlets: Give your new rare or exotic treasures the best start in Orange Lake Nursery Aroid Mix and water thoroughly.
- Provide humidity: Place the potted tissue plantlets in a closed container to ensure consistent, high humidity.
- Provide lots of light: Place the plantlets under grow lights for at least 12 hours per day.
- Gradually expose them to ambient air: After the first week, progressively expose the plants to ambient air. Some varieties require a little longer in the humidity flasks than others.
