A Smarter Way to Grow with Tissue Culture

Tissue cultured plants are changing how modern growers produce healthy, consistent crops. By using tissue culture, growers can scale production, reduce risk, and improve plant quality from the very beginning.

At AG2 TC near Mount Dora, tissue culture is used to produce starter plant liners in sterile laboratory environments, giving growers a reliable foundation for finishing plants at scale.

What Are Tissue Cultured Plants? 

Tissue cultured plants are plants grown from small pieces of plant tissue in a sterile laboratory environment. Using nutrient-rich media and controlled conditions, growers can produce large numbers of uniform, disease-free starter plants that are later grown into finished plants by nurseries and growers.

How Tissue Culture Works

Tissue culture begins with selecting a high-quality mother plant. A small piece of tissue is carefully removed and placed into a sterile environment.

At AG2 TC, this process includes:

• Working in controlled lab spaces with microscopes and sterile tools
• Growing plants on gelled, nutrient-rich media
• Maintaining strict temperature and light conditions
• Monitoring plant development at every stage

Once the plantlets are strong enough, they are transferred to greenhouse conditions where they continue growing into starter liners.

Why Tissue Culture Is Important for Growers

1. Disease-Free Starting Material

Plants grown through tissue culture are produced in sterile conditions, reducing the risk of contamination early in the growth cycle.

This leads to:

• healthier crops
• fewer losses
• more predictable results

2. Consistent Growth Across Every Plant

Uniformity is critical for commercial growers. Tissue culture ensures plants share the same genetics and growth habits.

This helps growers:

• maintain consistent sizing
• improve crop planning
• reduce sorting and waste

3. Scalable Production

Tissue culture allows for the rapid multiplication of plants from a single source.

For growers, this means:

• reliable supply
• easier expansion
• better control over inventory

From Lab to Landscape: Understanding the Process

It is important to understand how tissue cultured plants move through the supply chain.

AG2 TC produces starter liners, not finished plants.

The process works like this:

1. AG2 TC produces tissue culture liners in a sterile lab
2. Growers and nurseries pot them into larger containers
3. Plants are grown to finished size
4. Finished plants are sold for retail or landscape use

This ensures that every plant used in landscapes begins with a clean, consistent foundation.

Why Growers Choose AG2 TC

AG2 TC is a biological technology company focused on producing high-quality tissue culture liners.

Key advantages include:

• sterile laboratory propagation
• controlled light and temperature conditions
• strong, uniform starter plants
• greenhouse acclimation before distribution

Plants are grown to approximately 3 to 5 inches before being shipped in cell-pack liners, making them easy for growers to transplant and finish.

Available Plant Categories

AG2 TC produces a wide range of plants for commercial growers, including:

• foliage plants
• landscape plants
• tropical plants
• succulents
• ferns

This variety allows growers to build diverse and scalable plant programs.
