Tissue culture update ‼️‼️
Now that they’re fully acclimated to my house humidity, it’s time to repot these babies! The pink banana Musa lost all roots when I washed the agar off about 8 weeks ago. Now it’s root bound! I repotted that one to a 3” pot. The jungle fever and red Anderson are working on foliage rather than roots, they’ve been losing and gaining leaves like crazy but they don’t have a ton of roots. Those two were repotted back into the seed tray but I replaced the potting medium to regular airoid soil. They’re all doing great and I’m so happy I tried this! 🌱

@Seymour It surprisingly wasn’t too expensive to do! I had to buy seed trays with a humidity dome, a grow light, fluval stratum (potting medium) and fungicide. I think it’s worth it if you have a wishlist plant that costs way more money than you’re willing to spend! For example, I’ve wanted a jungle fever philodendron for a while, but the one I had been looking at was in a 4” pot and was listed as $375 (USD). I bought a tissue culture for $100 at Orange Lake Nursery. So I saved a couple hundred dollars growing these in tissue culture form rather than buying full sized plants. It’s a neat experience in any case!

@Bplants So great to see your tissue culture’s progress. I’m sure this was a fun experience. I’m so happy the Musa roots grew. He sure was ready for a repot. I cannot wait to see its wild foliage as it grows. Your transitioning to aroid soil on your Anderson & Jungle Fever was a smart decision. These plants are getting the best care. I am looking forward to seeing all your hard work pay off. Proud plant Mama moment. 💚🪴
@TheOddAsity Aww thank you!! ❤️ It definitely felt more intimidating than it should! Plantsinjars on YouTube was SO helpful! I watched every single one of her tissue culture YouTube videos before I started the process and I learned so much from her! I also ordered my tissue cultures from Orange Lake Nursery and they had a QR code on the package that led you directly to a link on how to deflask and acclimate! If you ever try it and have questions, definitely tag me I’d love to help!! Here’s that YouTube link:
