The plants filling a garden center, specialty plant shop, or landscape nursery often begin as much smaller starter plants. For professional growers, sourcing dependable wholesale plant liners is an important first step in building a consistent finished crop.
At AG2 TC, we produce wholesale starter liners for professional growers using tissue culture and careful greenhouse production. Our selection includes foliage, tropicals, ferns, carnivorous plants, succulents, landscape plants, grasses, and other varieties that growers can incorporate into their production programs. We focus on the beginning of the growing process. You take it from there.
Wholesale plant liners are young starter plants purchased by professional growers for continued nursery or greenhouse production. Growers transplant the liners into larger containers and continue growing them until they reach the desired finished size for sale to retailers, garden centers, landscape professionals, or other customers.
AG2 TC supplies this starter stage rather than finished plants. Our standard plant varieties are supplied in 72-cell pack liners. Grasses are supplied in 144-cell packs.
Commercial growers need more than an interesting plant list. They need starter material they can confidently build a crop around. AG2 TC uses tissue culture to propagate plants under carefully controlled conditions. Our well-maintained laboratories provide a sterile environment where skilled technicians work at the hood using microscopes, scalpels, petri dishes, vessels, and other tools. Plant material develops on gelled, nutrient-rich media with growth regulators under controlled light and temperature.
Plantlets eventually transition from the laboratory into soil, rooting, and greenhouse production, where they continue developing into the liners we supply to growers. The result is disease-free starter material produced with consistency in mind. Virus indexing can also be provided upon request.
A nursery may serve several different customers, which makes plant selection an important part of production planning. Our research and development efforts help AG2 TC maintain a diverse selection that gives growers choices across several categories.
Our foliage selections include Peperomia and other plants that can be finished for specialty foliage programs. Peperomia prostrata, or String of Turtles, provides a trailing option with small, round, succulent leaves patterned like turtle shells.
Peperomia polybotrya ‘Raindrop’ offers a completely different appearance, with thick, shiny, heart-shaped foliage and an upright habit. Our selection also includes Calathea varieties for growers developing broader foliage programs.
For nurseries interested in serving pet-conscious retail customers, some Peperomia and Calathea selections may also be worth researching based on verified non-toxic classifications for the specific species or cultivar.
AG2 TC also offers tropical plants, including multiple Alocasia selections. Different varieties give growers options in plant size, foliage appearance, and finished use. These liners can be grown on for nurseries and retailers looking for distinctive tropical selections.
Carnivorous plants create another specialty opportunity. Dionaea muscipula, commonly called the Venus Flytrap, is one recognizable example. AG2 TC propagates it through tissue culture for growers interested in producing this distinctive carnivorous plant.
Our selection also includes ferns such as Platycerium varieties. These give professional growers another category to explore when planning specialty plant programs.
AG2 TC’s succulent selection includes Agave varieties with different forms and potential finished uses.
Landscape-focused growers can also explore our selection of starter material intended to be finished for future landscape markets. An important distinction applies here: AG2 TC does not sell plants ready for immediate landscape installation.
Growers purchase our liners and finish them into larger containers. Landscapers looking for finished plants should purchase from nurseries or growers. If needed, we’re happy to help point landscapers toward growers or nurseries that may carry finished plants originating from AG2 TC material.
Our selection also includes ornamental grasses and Carex. Unlike our standard plants, which are supplied in 72-cell packs, grasses are supplied in 144-cell packs.
One advantage of working with a diverse plant selection is the ability to think about the finished market before choosing what to grow. A specialty plant retailer may be interested in Macodes Petola, String of Turtles, or carnivorous plants.
A foliage-focused garden center may need Peperomia, Calathea, or tropical varieties. A landscape nursery may be interested in Carex, ornamental grasses, or other landscape selections. A retailer responding to interest in plants for homes with pets may want its growers to investigate varieties with verified non-toxic classifications.
Rather than approaching plant sourcing as one large category, growers can use our catalog to build programs around the customers you actually serve.
