Propagation of Rare Indoor Plant Varieties

FAQ About Propagation of Rare Indoor Plant Varieties

What is tissue culture, and how is it used in propagating rare plants?

Tissue culture, or micropropagation, involves growing plant cells or tissues in sterile conditions on nutrient media. It's a more advanced technique often used for rare or endangered species because it can produce large numbers of plants from a small amount of starting material. This method requires specialized equipment and expertise but allows for the propagation of genetically uniform plants free from disease.
