Tissue Cultures are carefully propagated in a laboratory to ensure plant health. Tissue Cultures are grown in a closed container which means you can enjoy a pest free and disease free plant. The plant will grow in the container until all the nutrients within the agar / liquid is used. If you do not wish to plant right away, keep the container sealed and store in a cool place. Before planting, thoroughly wash off all agar / liquid from the  plant. Once container is opened, plant immediately.
