Week 19: Tissue Culture Math 📈🌱

A difference of just one extra shoot per culture may not seem like much—but over multiple multiplication cycles, small gains can turn into hundreds of additional plants. This week, we’re exploring multiplication rates, exponential growth, and why the numbers matter in tissue culture.

Week 18: Why Some Cultures Explode and Others Crawl 🌱

Same media. Same conditions. Different results. This week, we’re looking at why some cultures take off while others grow slowly—and why that’s completely normal in tissue culture

Week 17: Environmental Factors Inside The Vessel 🌱

From humidity and airflow to light, temperature, and gas exchange — even sealed cultures are constantly interacting with their surroundings. Small environmental changes can completely affect how cultures grow, respond, and survive.

Week 16: Genetic Stability & Somaclonal Variation 🌱

Not every tissue cultured plant stays perfectly true-to-type. This week we’re exploring why variation happens, what increases mutation risk, and how growers maintain stable, high-quality cultures over time.

🌵 NEW PLANT ALERT 🌵

These new Euphorbias were a special addition inspired by my fiancé 💚

Every time we visit a greenhouse together, his favorite thing to hunt for is unique cacti and funky succulent-like plants — so when I spotted these, I knew I had to bring them home.

Fun fact: Euphorbias are often mistaken for cacti because of their spiky, sculptural look, but they’re actually a completely different plant family! Most Euphorbias produce a white sap and originate from Africa, while true cacti are native to the Americas.

I’ve also noticed a lot of interest in cacti and desert plants from men lately, so I thought these would be the perfect new addition leading up to Father’s Day — for all the dads and plant dads out there 🌵🪴

Which one would you pick? 👀
