The finished plants that customers see at a garden center start much earlier in the production cycle. For professional growers, choosing the right wholesale foliage liners means finding starter material that supports consistency, efficient production, and the plant assortment their customers want.
At AG2 TC, we use tissue culture to propagate foliage and other plant varieties for professional growers. Our on-site laboratory allows our skilled team to work carefully throughout the propagation process, producing disease-free starter plants that move from our laboratory into greenhouse production before becoming wholesale liners. For growers developing foliage programs, that means access to consistent starter material as well as distinctive varieties that can help build a more interesting finished assortment.
Wholesale foliage liners are young starter plants purchased by professional growers to transplant and grow into larger, finished containers. Tissue culture can be used to produce these liners efficiently and consistently, giving commercial growers a reliable starting point for planning foliage crops at scale.
AG2 TC’s foliage liners are starter material, not finished retail plants. Our standard plants are supplied in 72-cell packs for growers to pot up and finish according to their own production needs.
Consistency matters when you’re producing dozens, hundreds, or thousands of plants for future sale. Our tissue culture process begins with selected plant material in a well-maintained, sterile laboratory. Our technicians work at the hood using tools such as scalpels, microscopes, petri dishes, and vessels. Plant material is grown on gelled, nutrient-rich media with growth regulators under controlled light and temperature.
As plantlets progress, they eventually move from laboratory conditions into soil and greenhouse production. We grow them into starter liners that professional growers can purchase and continue growing into finished plants. This process allows us to combine biological technology with the practical needs of commercial plant production.
Garden centers and plant retailers serve customers with many different priorities. Some buy plants based on foliage color or form. Others are looking for something unusual. Pet owners may also pay closer attention to the plants they bring into spaces shared with cats and dogs.
That creates an opportunity for growers to think beyond individual varieties and consider how finished plants might fit into specific retail collections. AG2 TC’s foliage selection includes several Peperomia and Calathea varieties that may be useful when developing a pet-conscious plant program, including:
A nursery’s finished crop depends in part on the quality and consistency of the starter material.
Tissue culture gives us a way to propagate plants efficiently under controlled conditions while maintaining consistency across production. Our plants are disease free, and virus indexing is available upon request. AG2 TC also maintains research and development efforts that help us continue offering diverse plant selections to professional growers.
It is important to distinguish AG2 TC’s products from finished wholesale plants.
We supply 72-cell pack liners for our standard plant varieties. The exception is grasses, which are supplied in 144-cell packs.
Our foliage liners are therefore not 4-inch, 6-inch, gallon, or other finished plants when purchased from us. Those sizes may represent the containers growers ultimately produce after purchasing and growing our starter liners.
This allows professional growers to incorporate AG2 TC material into their own production programs and determine how they want to finish and market their plants.
AG2 TC is located in Apopka, Florida, placing us near growing communities including Zellwood, Mount Dora, Sorrento, Eustis, Tavares, Astatula, Ocoee, and Wekiva Springs.

Our liners are intended for professional wholesale production rather than direct-to-consumer sales. Wholesale customers must be able to provide a tax exemption certificate. If you’re a consumer looking for a finished plant, AG2 TC is not a retail garden center. Our role comes earlier in the supply chain. We produce the starter plants that professional growers purchase, pot up, and finish for later sale.
