As many in the nursery industry say: growing the plants, while it can be challenging, is the easy part; selling them is much harder. I've been working at this for a decade and not every year is profitable...
I would like to say "Its NOT a click bait video" my friend. The only issue will be selling because money comes from selling no matter how many TCs are produced. Anyway in the video you devide a big clump of plant in 1 cup into small portions of many cups. Are the cups contain multiplication media ?
They do, I can do 20-40 cups with one cup. I only need a small portion and they will fill the entire cup in 3-4 weeks. Most aquatic plants grow fast in tissue culture.
Thank you so much for this video. You have given me proof of the feasibility of this idea. I was looking for a good side hustle related in the fish hobby. Much appreciated
Hey, We're thrilled that you loved the video. We tried to give an idea of how exactly tissue culture works and what making money in the process means. We're creating more tissue culture videos like this one. So, stay tuned with our channel. :)
@@PlantCellTechnology thanks for reply. It's somthing I've considered for a long time with being known collector and seller of Venus Fly traps mostly refisterd cultivars. It would benefit me as a micro family buisness to be able to better produce quantity. As with naturel growth rates of the genus is slow every growth rate increase is greatly apreashiated.

Good evening Sir, im interested in making plants because i want to sell plants 🌱 when i can go home in the Philippines. I am your new subscriber. Thank you for sharing.
Hello. Great videos all of them you make!! Where can I buy these plastic autoclavable containers. Also if I can't find these particular ones do you know if the container underneath says pp5 is autoclavable? Thank you in advance!! George
Yes, we do have offline tissue culture master classes planned in Washington DC. Please check out all the courses here: www.plantcelltechnology.com/master-classes/
@@PlantCellTechnology Thank you for that information. But I am only interested in food tissue culture such as bananas plantain or sugarcane or bamboo. Would you know where I could take this type of course? Thank you
@@valencia81750 Currently, we don't have any such course. However, we do have some articles on them that you might find useful. Check our website www.plantcelltechnology.com
Really nice video! I actually intend to start selling plants for aquariums and terrariums once I am confident in my abilities and I can be sure that I won’t have any contamination issues. For some reason I have never seen anyone grow Terrarium plants in tissue culture, even tough contamination with pests is a really big problem with them.
Hi ! I have a biology degree and we actually learned how to do tissue culture and I want to get started with my own company. I want to do tissue culture with rare aroids that are very popular or other that are rare. I want to to do it all by myself and wish to know if somebody out there is already doing this ? Is it a viable project to gain money ? I'm in France btw. Thanks !
Yes, it is extremely viable - especially if you have experience! It would be worth your time to watch more of our content and book a consultation with our lab experts, consider it an investment to your business! Link: www.plantcelltechnology.com/pct-consultation/
@@PlantCellTechnology I'm trying to clone hemp/cannabis. Do I really need a multiplication media & a rooting media? And, do I have to get the ms medium with mT?
I loved your video and your SO EFFICIENT SYSTEM, perfect role model. A question: what type of cups do you use? Can I found them in México? Thank you a lot
We share the protocol and teach TC methods thoroughly in our master class. So, if you are interested, you can book your seat using this link: www.plantcelltechnology.com/master-classes/
@@EitanV1 In the master class, you get much more than what we share in our UA-cam videos. You can check out the complete curriculum using the link we shared with you earlier.
Are the lids you use autoclavable as well? I use 4 ounce container but the lids arent PP so I just spray them. Have you tried just using liquid media for aquatics? I find some plants do alot better
1/2 MS with 25 g or sucrose, 1.0 ml/l of BA, 0.1 ml/l of NAA, 1 ml/l of PPM (For some plants, some can't tolerate PPM), 8 g of agar or 3 g of gallan gum. That's my general media for aquatic plants, some require some small changes.
Different plant species grow in different ways. In the direct method, the plant is directly set up for organs development and in the indirect method first callus is developed and then the organs development environment is created. So, prefer specific protocols to tissue culture your specific plant.
Could you explain how you autoclave the plastic containers? I’ve seen the videos where you put them in the slow cooker liners - but even with doing that and making sure I have the right containers (polyurethane), I still get melting
This is my dream job, since my childhood. I still wnat to do this, but I still don't know what kind of papers do I need to sell these, because I'm Europian.
@@PlantCellTechnology Oh! and Sir, it is not a demand brother, just a begging request. I am 58 years old and have outlived my resume. No matter what I retrain as, no one will ever employ me, so I need to find some way of making a living that does not need a lot of money to get started.
@@justme.9711 Sure! We'll try to bring the video, however, it's a bit difficult. Because it's not legal to grow the plant in our area due to its invasive nature.
Hey QueenToasty check out our beginner videos! Also check out our Starter Kit here! Comes with everything you need to get started with Step by Step instructions! www.plantcelltechnology.com/starter-kit/
Check the video I made on what is the best pressure cooker for tissue culture. Instant pots or any other electric pressure cooker, does not keep a constant 15 psi.
I like how you can pour your media into the cups before you sterilize. Do you have to make sure your pressure cooker doesnt go far above 15psi? I would assume you would melt the plastic cups
15 psi is required to sterilize the cups containing media. you can set up the required temperature in these cookers. The cups used are autoclavable so they don't melt.
@@PlantCellTechnology great, I ordered some for myself, I like your technique. I think I was getting very high psi and it was causing it to become very intensely heated
Hi, you can learn from our videos and blogs. And, if you need any specific answers related to tissue culture, you can go for our consulting services and can directly talk with our scientists with instant answers.
Hahaha, it is very easy to compute to make it attractive and bait to viewers. The thing is you have to identify your market. You may be able to produce a lot and compute how much you will earn...BUT do you have buyers? Is there a market for the plant you are producing. How big is tge market if there is, is it sustainable? Your figure is too good to be true. We need the demand and supply law here in economics. Be realistic please...
Totally agree Merlina. However, the video is just to explain that it's possible to get those numbers. How, when, and where, are the answers one needs to find by themselves depending on their economy and region. It's just giving a general idea about the potential of tissue culture. Because, as you might know, one of the major advantage the technique offer is mass propagation. That's why many plant businesses want to bring this technique into their propagation system. But if you really want to make those numbers, find out which plant is most demanding in your region, places from where people are fulfilling their plant requirements, the kind of buyers you have in your area, etc. But, before all this, the first is to know if the numbers are even possible or not.
Normally I get annoyed with click bait but I had to laugh when you threw in the apology for it. 😅
As many in the nursery industry say: growing the plants, while it can be challenging, is the easy part; selling them is much harder. I've been working at this for a decade and not every year is profitable...

I have just deflasked Cephalotus folicularis from TC into a terrarium. Fingers crossed.
How do you go about selling your plants? Do you have an agreement with a nursery and do you do the acclimatization yourself?
We don't grow them on a very large scale. We just do it for educational purposes. And, to maintain the stock for our future experimentations.

Excelente hermano!!
Thank you so much! This is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for, especially the aquatic plants.
OO, Thanks for your wonderful comment! Glad we could help!
where , what model is the inner pot for your pressure cooker ? do u do consulting work to help set up get started ? Thanks you
It's the All-American 41 QT Electric Sterilizer. We do consulting work, you can call us or send us an email.
Your videos are great. Who do you suggest for website and logo development? I like the designs you have.
What kind of equipment do you use? Refrigerator, plant lights, pressure cooker & pressure cooker/autoclave size
I see you use a laminar flow hood too
Yes, I use all the mentioned equipment by you in my lab. Additionally, I use a magnetic stirrer and pH meter too.
@@PlantCellTechnology I'm trying to clone hemp/cannabis. Do I really need a multiplication media & a rooting media? And, do I have to get the ms medium with mT?
do you ever have an issue with your pressure cooker not sealing properly thus leaking steam/pressure?
Sometimes I have issues when trying to open. If that happens, I know it is time for some lubrication (petroleum jelly).
What t c do you use
I LOVE your videos!
I loved your video and your SO EFFICIENT SYSTEM, perfect role model.
A question: what type of cups do you use? Can I found them in México?
Thank you a lot
I'm also interested in finding how where I can get those autoclavable cups :)
Polypropylene (PP), not sure where you can find them in Mexico. try restaurant suppliers.
nice video. please make a video about bucephalandra TC.
Sure! Many more videos are currently lined up, so stay tuned with the channel for the latest updates.

Yes, they are made out of polypropylene. I have tried liquid media on the temporary immersion bioreactors and yes, they grow much faster.
Do you share your recipes for media/hormones for aquarium plants?
1/2 MS with 25 g or sucrose, 1.0 ml/l of BA, 0.1 ml/l of NAA, 1 ml/l of PPM (For some plants, some can't tolerate PPM), 8 g of agar or 3 g of gallan gum. That's my general media for aquatic plants, some require some small changes.
@@PlantCellTechnology Do you notice any difference between using agar or gellan gum?
are you putting them into callus media first then multiplication so it grows more or just into multiplication
Different plant species grow in different ways. In the direct method, the plant is directly set up for organs development and in the indirect method first callus is developed and then the organs development environment is created.
So, prefer specific protocols to tissue culture your specific plant.
Love the videos! Super helpful!
Thank you so much for your comment. Keep watching!
can you link these cups?
I bought'em from a local store.
what containers are you using that are pressure cookable?
You can use PCT glass culture vessels.

Refer to our videos and blogs.
Could you explain how you autoclave the plastic containers? I’ve seen the videos where you put them in the slow cooker liners - but even with doing that and making sure I have the right containers (polyurethane), I still get melting
You need to use autoclavable plastic containers, such as those made of Polypropylene (PP) and polypropylene copolymer (PPCO).
Sir do you use humidifier in your growing racks? Love your work ❤❤❤
They don'T need it. Theay are sealed in the cup. You need good lght and good temperature (with very low fluctuation).
This is my dream job, since my childhood. I still wnat to do this, but I still don't know what kind of papers do I need to sell these, because I'm Europian.
