Please note: This is a pre-order from our partner lab, please allow up to 14 working days to receive the plant. The plant will arrive in a single package as per the image and will be fresh out of flask. Please read the section on how to acclimate TC before purchasing. With variegated plants there is some variability in the first leaves, please see the images as examples of what you will receive, rather than the exact specimen.
Once you remove the plantlets from the package, you must wash off the plant so it's completely clean
Why: Sometimes the plantlets have Agar left on them. Agar is sugar-rich; if left on the roots, it acts as an all-you-can-eat buffet for mold and bacteria.
How: Use sterile lukewarm water and a soft brush or your fingers. Be gentle—TC roots are brittle.
You need to recreate the flask's humidity while slowly introducing airflow.
The Medium: Use a sterile, airy mix. A blend of fine moss and perlite or small-grade tree fern fiber works best. Avoid heavy potting soil for now.
The Enclosure: Place the potted plantlets in a humidity dome, a clear plastic bin, or even a Ziploc bag.
The Light: Keep them in bright, indirect light. No direct sun—they will cook inside their humidity chamber.
Over the next 2 to 4 weeks, you will slowly lower the humidity:
Week 1: Keep the dome completely sealed.
Week 2: Open the vents slightly or crack the lid for 30 minutes a day.
Week 3: Increase the "open lid" time to several hours.
Week 4: If the leaves aren't wilting, you can leave the lid off entirely.
Fungicide: A quick dip in a diluted, systemic fungicide before planting can prevent "damping off" (sudden rot).
Hands Off: Resist the urge to tug on them to check for root growth. TC plants focus on root establishment first; if the top looks stagnant, the bottom is likely working hard.
No Fertilizer: The plantlets are stressed. Wait until you see the first "post-flask" leaf emerge before using a very diluted (1/4 strength) fertilizer.
