How it Works

  1. Identify the plant(s) to propagate - We ask the client to send us stock plants for tissue culture. This ensures that the plants we produce are exactly what you are looking for. Occasionally, we can help source the plants as required by the clients.

  2. Initiation - Meristem (growth portion) of the plant needs to be cleaned and put into culture. Media is prepared and a close eye is kept on the plants to ensure that no contamination occurs.

  3. Multiplication - Clean culture is then put into multiplicatoin media to increase stock. Conditions in the laboratory are optimized for multiplication.

  4. Production - Once a multiplication protocol is assured, then production can commence. Plants that are ready for shipipng is rooted and sent by freight.

  5. Shipping - Plants are air freighted to ports around the world. A freight forwarder clears the plants through regulatory bodies (US: USDA & customs). Import permits are required on the part of the client; we take care of the required paperwork for each shipment. We have a network of freight forwarders that we work with and can assist in putting you in contact with them.
