Tissue Culture Plants
– From Our Laboratory to Your Home 🌱
At Aquatic Plants SA, we operate our own in-house plant tissue culture laboratory, allowing us to propagate a wide variety of plants under controlled, sterile laboratory conditions.
Tissue culture (TC), also known as micropropagation, is a method of producing plants from small pieces of plant tissue under carefully controlled conditions. This allows us to multiply selected plants efficiently, maintain desirable characteristics and produce young, healthy plantlets throughout the year.
Our TC laboratory supports our own nursery production while also allowing us to offer customers access to an expanding range of laboratory-propagated plants. Our collection includes plants for aquariums, terrariums, carnivorous plant collections and other specialist horticultural applications.

What makes tissue culture plants different?
-
Laboratory-grown: Produced under controlled conditions using specialised tissue culture techniques.
-
Sterile production: Grown in a controlled environment, reducing exposure to many common pests, algae and pathogens during production.
-
Efficient propagation: Allows us to multiply selected plants that may otherwise be difficult or slow to propagate conventionally.
-
Young plantlets: Supplied as laboratory-grown plants that require acclimatisation and further growth after leaving the laboratory.
