Philodendron Tortum Tissue Culture

This culture pack of 1 Philodendron Tortum Tissue Cultures are sold in agar gel & ready to acclimate in their new jungle. 

Philodendron Tortum is a truly unique tropical aroid prized for its narrow, deeply divided foliage that gives it an almost skeletal appearance. Unlike traditional Philodendrons with broad leaves, the Tortum features long, elegant leaf segments that create a dramatic and architectural look, making it an instant standout in any plant collection. Its exotic form and lush tropical feel make it a favorite among rare plant collectors and jungle enthusiasts alike.

Fast-growing and incredibly eye-catching, the Philodendron Tortum brings texture and movement into any indoor space. As the plant matures, its foliage becomes larger and even more intricate, creating a bold statement whether displayed climbing on a moss pole or showcased as a tabletop specimen. Despite its rare appearance, this Philodendron is relatively easy to care for and rewards growers with steady growth under the right conditions.

Watch our step-by-step video instructions on our How To Acclimate Your Tissue Culture blog!

• Step 1- Do not do anything to the culture for 1-2 days to allow them to adjust to the temperature in their new environment
• Step 2- Open the package & wash the agar jelly off the plant as thoroughly as possible. We strongly recommend using running water. A small paint brush can be gently used to assist with the cleaning process. This is one of the most important steps of the process.
• Step 3- Plant your cultures in the medium of your choice. We recommend a chunky blend of coco husk & perlite. We utilize acclimation plugs although there are many great mediums available.
• Step 4- Place them into a clear sealed package (container or plastic bag). Within 24-hours your container will have water droplets forming, which will confirm the container is at 100% humidity.
• Step 5-Place under a grow lights for between 8 & 14 hours a day
• Step 6- Leave plants covered for the first 7 days.  The following 7 to 10 days slowly expose plants to ambient air. Each day exposing the plants to slightly more air until fully acclimated. 

Our acclimation kits will contain all of the tools necessary for success. Just add water & grow lights to the simple acclimation process to produce healthy acclimated plants!
