Growing plants from tissue culture may seem daunting, but the process was actually pretty easy (especially considering I was so rushed during mine). There are many nurseries and online sellers who will sell packs of tissue culture plants and it's a fun way to experiment growing plants from these!
I recommend starting off with an easy going plant for your first tissue culture experience so you can experiment with the process. This is a cost-effective way to grow some more expensive, rare plant varieties.
STEPS:
1. With clean hands (gloves preferred), remove the tissue culture from its bag/container.
2. Wash off the gel/agar in warm water
3. Remove any dead leaves or rotted roots and soak the plant in a fungicide solution (I use neem and castile soap).
4. Rinse the plant in clean water.
5. Plant in a sterile medium (I used sphagnum moss) and keep in 100% humidity for the first several weeks. You can use rooting hormone as well (I used a myco inoculant, which isn't the same, but it helps with transplant shock and water/nutrient uptake). Don't let the moss dry out.
6. Gradually acclimate the plant by adding a hole to the humidity dome every two weeks (I used a soldering iron). Or, simply expose the plant to less humidity for gradually longer periods of time.
7. Repot the plant into a larger pot in the medium of your choice (I did an aroid mix in a self-watering set-up for my variegated Alocasia dragon scale).

Tissue culture has made many rare plants more affordable and accessible. It is easier to ship tissue culture across the world rather than a plant that was previously in soil. 😊

I wish live plants could be shipped internationally 😭. But every country has their own unique requirements for bringing in plants and requires specific certificates and permits, which is why it’s not possible for individuals like me to ship plants outside of the US. Not to mention it’s already gamble shipping plants for a few days within the country hoping it will arrive safely. I can’t imagine plants being trapped in quarantine and taking potentially WEEKS to arrive elsewhere! 😭
