Media Types

What is a Gel Cup?

A tissue culture vessel is a clear gel, transparent container (5 cm diameter x 7 cm height) that holds multiple young plants (typically 3 or more) grown under laboratory conditions.

These vessels provide a carefully controlled environment, keeping the plants healthy and contaminant-free until they're ready to transition to standard growing conditions.

Quick Hardening Steps:

  1. Open Lid Gradually: Slightly open the cup to slowly reduce humidity.
  2. Maintain Humidity: Gradually decrease humidity over 2–4 weeks.
  3. Indirect Light: Start with gentle, indirect lighting.
  4. Moist Soil: Keep media damp, never wet.
  5. Monitor Closely: Slowly increase airflow and light exposure.
