Tissue cultures almost always will die off if you don’t properly acclimate them to your home environment. They spent their entire life in 90-100% humidity in a completely sterile environment. When you open it that will be the first exposure to lower humidity and bacteria. Keep it in a humidity cloche and be sure to gently remove all of the culture media from the roots before you plant it or they’ll rot.

That seems far above my level. So won’t be doing it anytime soon. It’s so interesting though and good information. Saving for later! 🌱💕

I looked into it and the sterile stuff you need to be successful is $$$$!!!

### Matteo commented on 2026-06-25

I have done this and sold plants and it’s Pennie’s for what I sell the plants for!

Wow, not what I expected…but if you get a successful rare plant I can see how you’d get a good price for it…are we talking a few hundred per plant? Or a bigger number that may blow my mind!?

Also, how quickly do they grow and mature this way? …if you do everything right.

#### Matteo replied on 2026-06-26

Like $400

#### Matteo replied on 2026-06-26

It takes time maybe about 4-6 months but I have serval tcs I grow

I use a mix of 50% perlite and 50% fluval stratum for my substrate! Rinse the agar off really well and cut any bad looking roots off. Then plant in the perlite/fluval mix in those parfait style plastic cups with the attachable dome lid to create a closed humidity dome. After several weeks and visible root growth I start slowly acclimating to lower humidity. This method has worked well so far for me :)
