View Guide →Tissue culture plants arrive as fragile in vitro plantlets grown in sterile flasks. Before they can live as normal houseplants they must be acclimated — deflasked, weaned off 100% humidity, and hardened until their leaves grow a protective waxy cuticle. Each guide below is a genus-specific, week-by-week protocol covering deflasking, the substrate recipe, humidity-dome venting, watering, fertilizer timing, and how to tell normal leaf melt from fatal root rot.
