Description
PlantCell Houseplant Tissue Culture Medium
Please order the Product Express post and put the product in the fridge as soon as it arrives. Do not put in the Freezer.
Storage Conditions:ย Store in the fridge at 2ยฐ-8ยฐC, avoid direct light.
Supplied in powdered form, when mixed with water, it makes the volume youโve selected.
Choose your stage: Multiplication (HPP04) or Rooting (HPP05)
Two complete, ready to use tissue culture media made specifically for tropical ornamental houseplants. Rather than adapting a general purpose formulation such as MS, both were built from scratch around the nutrient and hormone requirements of tropical foliage plants, so you get clean results without the burn or stall that generic media can cause in delicate genera.
Everything is already in the mix. There is no pH meter, no separate hormone stocks and no supplementation required. Weigh, dissolve in water, add your gelling agent if you are running solid media, and autoclave. Each pack makes 1 L of medium.
Which one do I need?
Multiplication Medium (HPP04) is your Stage 2 medium. It drives shoot proliferation, giving you more nodes and clean, uniform growth from each explant. This is where you build numbers.
Rooting Medium (HPP05) is your Stage 3 medium. It supports consistent root initiation and development so your plantlets are genuinely ready for the move out of the jar, which is where most home and small lab setups lose plants.
If you are running a full protocol you will need both. Multiplication first, then rooting before you harden off.
Features
- All in one formulation, pre weighed and pH buffered
- No pH calibration or adjustment needed
- Works in both liquid and solid culture systems
- Formulated specifically for tropical ornamentals, not a modified MS
- Performs without additional supplementation in most workflows
- Benefits
- Consistent, repeatable results between batches
- Improved uniformity across cultures
- Less prep time and fewer variables to get wrong
- Better survival rates through the transition to ex vitro conditions
Validated genera
Philodendron, Monstera, Pothos (Epipremnum), Anthurium, Syngonium, Alocasia, Calathea and Maranta, Ficus species, Begonia, and many other tropical ornamental houseplants.
Disclaimer: Results may vary with species, genotype, culture conditions and laboratory practice. We recommend a small scale validation trial before scaling up, and consulting relevant literature or a tissue culture specialist to optimise for your application.
