Welcome to Pure Food Gardening plant tissue culture web site.

The Super Starts Plant Tissue Culture Kit makes the speedy propagation of vigorous new plantlets easy for the hobby gardener.  In a clean kitchen with a few household items, anyone can now do plant tissue culture propagation.  The magic of plant tissue culture is that plant parts and growing tips are grown in a solution of sugar, nutrients, and hormones in culture tubes and jars. Plants are maintained under low intensity lights like fluorescents as they multiply and grow. Regular sugar feed the plants energy for vigorous growth, and hormones blow out shoot and root growth. 

In only a few weeks, a few plantlets in a baby food jar can multiply into 9 to 30 new plants. A small tray with 30 jars can produce 240 plants every 3 weeks under only 32-40 watts of light.  Aggressive multiplication is one of the greatest advantages of plant tissue culture. 

Tissue culture replaces the mother plants with a regular supply of fresh plantlets.  Tissue Culture is the method commercial growers use to create acres of new clones from only a small lab.  The Super Starts Plant Tissue Kit allows you to create a "bank of clones" from which you can withdraw any amount from a dozen to thousands. 

In addition to the popular advantages of space and light-saving and aggressive multiplication, the new plants can be steered toward shoot or root growth using hormones.  The new plantlets root and grow quickly when taken from the jars and planted in soil or plugs.  A tissue-cultured plant produces squat branching plants.  They will produce plants much better than conventional propagation when provided a superior environment.

The trick that makes tissue culture work is the preservative.  Now growers at home do not have to have expensive lab equipment.  You can tissue culture your plants inside a plastic storage container. The jars are sterilized in a pressure cooker which you provide and plants are cleaned with alcohol and bleach. 

The kit has been so effective that users have traveled around the US and to other countries with my kit and set up brand new in only a few hours.  Tissue culture plants are tough enough to be sold in gift shops around the world and carried on airplanes.  In fact, tissue culture plants from Costa Rica and Hawaii are recognized by authorities as "phytosanitary" and allowed into the country.

If you are interested in plant tissue culture at all, you are encouraged to purchase the Super Starts Plant Tissue Culture Kit right away and begin to put your plant into culture.  The first steps are easy and the plant will begin to grow in its new environment quickly.  "Buy it and do it as soon as you can.  I wish I had not waited".

The Super Starts plant tissue culture kit from Pure Food make the efficient micro-cloning of your favorite plants fast and simple.  Tissue culturing mother plants and clones starts with small node cuttings and tips of your favorite plants and shrinks them to the size of the small glass and plastic jars included in the kit.  Plant grow in self-contained jars on a media that is like hydroponic jello.  It is made of sugar, nutrients, agar, and hormones.  New clones are grown in the jars using the sugar for energy and branching hormone to steer the growth.  A four to six-ounce jar produces 5 to 8 clones every thirty days and often 30 jars are are made at a time using the ingredients in the TC kit.  That's over 200 clones a month.

Use any number of jars to grow the number of clones you need.  Prepared jars can be stored for months until needed.  Tissue culture jars are grown in a clean area under only a few watts of fluorescent light.  Fluorescent lighting is best because of the control, low power, low profile, and available spectra.  Only 10 to 15 watts are needed for each square foot.  Thats only two or three t-5 lamps for a regular 4 ft. wide shelf.  A shelf like that can produce 200 clones every week.
