Intro to Plant Tissue Culture
A beginner-friendly guide to starting your journey with organic plant tissue culture. Learn how to propagate plants in a clean, sustainable way—from setting up a workstation to seeing your first plantlets grow.
Clean Workspace
Wipe all tools and surfaces with alcohol or vinegar to minimize contamination risk.
Prepare Medium
Use PhytoBase™ as your base medium. Sterilize in jars. Add optional nutrients or boosters depending on plant species.
XBoost™
Accelerates rooting and shoot multiplication.
BioTone™
Balances pH and adds organic micronutrients.
MycoLift™
Fungal/mycorrhizal booster for advanced users.
PureShield™
Anti-contamination additive (coming soon).
Collect Explants
Cut a small shoot or leaf tip from a healthy mother plant using sterilized tools.
Transfer to Container
Place plant tissue on the medium in a clean jar or vessel. Seal tightly to maintain sterility.
Growth & Observation
Keep jars at stable room temperature with indirect light. Some species may require an optional callus induction phase.
Acclimate Plantlets
Gradually open jars to let plantlets adapt before moving to soil. Timing may vary by plant species.
Step-by-Step Starter Guide
- 1Create a clean workspace: Use a simple table in a draft-free area. Wipe all surfaces with diluted alcohol or vinegar.
- 2Prepare your growth medium: Use a natural, organic culture medium suited for your plant species. Sterilize it properly in jars.
- 3Select a healthy plant: Choose disease-free mother plants. Young shoots and buds work best for beginners.
- 4Take your explant: Cut a small shoot tip, leaf, or node using sterilized scissors. Minimize exposure to open air.
- 5Transfer to the medium: Gently place the plant tissue on the surface of the medium in a clean jar. Seal the jar.
- 6Provide the right conditions: Keep jars at room temperature with indirect light. Avoid direct sun and temperature extremes.
- 7Observe and wait: Within a few weeks you’ll see callus or tiny shoots forming. Patience is key!
- 8Acclimate your plantlets: Once plantlets have roots, open jars gradually to let them adjust to normal air before planting in soil.
🌱 Pro Tip
Small, clean, and patient: Start with just a few jars, keep everything clean, and avoid overhandling your cultures. Simplicity and hygiene are more important than fancy equipment.
