Jungle GardenPlant Care & Deflasking Guide
Whether you receive lab-grown tissue culture plantlets or established potted specimens, proper acclimation ensures rapid establishment and vibrant growth.
Deflasking Tissue Culture Plantlets
Tissue culture plantlets arrive sterile in agar or nutrient medium. Follow these steps immediately upon arrival:
- Rinse Agar Completely: Gently submerge roots in lukewarm water to remove all traces of nutrient agar. Remaining agar can promote fungal growth.
- Fungicide Soak: Soak plantlets for 5–10 minutes in a mild fungicide solution.
- Substrate Selection: Plant into sterile, high-drainage medium (such as 100% fine moss, perlite mix, or specialized TC plug substrate).
- Humidity Control: Keep in a closed humidity dome (90–95% RH) for the first 10 days under indirect bright light (2000–3000 lux).
- Gradual Hardening: Slowly vent the dome over 7 days to lower humidity to ambient room levels (60–70% RH).
