Commercial plant production begins long before a finished plant reaches a garden center bench. Growers need starter material they can build a crop around, which is why searches for wholesale plant plugs and liners often come from buyers who are already evaluating suppliers, varieties, and production options.
AG2 TC specializes in wholesale starter liners produced for professional growers. Through tissue culture and careful greenhouse production, we supply disease-free plant material across foliage, tropical, landscape, succulent, fern, carnivorous, and other plant categories. If you’re sourcing young plants to pot up and finish in your own operation, our team can help you explore the AG2 TC catalog and current availability.
Wholesale plant plugs and liners are young starter plants purchased in trays by commercial growers for continued production. Growers transplant them into larger containers and grow them to their desired finished size before the plants are sold through wholesale nurseries, garden centers, retailers, landscape channels, or other markets.
Our standard plants are sold in 72-cell pack liners. Grasses are supplied in 144-cell packs. These are young plants intended for professional growers. They are not finished 4-inch, 6-inch, gallon, or landscape-ready products.
This distinction matters because finished sizes listed for a plant describe what growers may produce after purchasing starter material. They do not change the format in which AG2 TC sells that plant.
AG2 TC operates an on-site tissue culture facility where skilled technicians propagate plants under controlled conditions. Our laboratories are kept sterile and well maintained. At the hood, our staff works carefully with microscopes, scalpels, petri dishes, vessels, and plant material.
Plantlets develop on gelled nutrient-rich media with growth regulators while light and temperature are controlled. They eventually transition from the laboratory into soil, rooting, and greenhouse production.
Through this process, we produce disease-free plant material with the consistency commercial growers need. Virus indexing can also be provided upon request.
A wholesale starter plant supplier is only useful if its plant selection fits your production goals.
AG2 TC’s selection includes several broad categories.
Our foliage selections give growers options for indoor and specialty plant programs. This includes plants such as Peperomia prostrata, Peperomia polybotrya ‘Raindrop’, and other foliage varieties.
Tropical varieties include Alocasia selections with different sizes, foliage characteristics, and finished applications.
AG2 TC’s carnivorous selection includes Dionaea, Drosera, and Sarracenia varieties.
For example, Dionaea muscipula, or Venus Flytrap, is propagated through tissue culture and offers its recognizable low-growing, clumping habit and deep red interior traps.
Our selection also includes plants intended to be grown on for landscape markets. Again, AG2 TC supplies starter liners rather than plants ready for immediate landscape installation. Growers finish these plants before they reach landscapers or other end buyers.
Growers can also explore grasses and Carex selections. Grasses are supplied in 144-cell packs rather than our standard 72-cell format.
Our broader plant selection also includes fern varieties for growers interested in expanding this portion of their production.
AG2 TC carries succulent selections including Agave varieties.
The starter stage affects everything that comes afterward. Growers need to think about crop uniformity, production planning, plant health, space, finished container goals, and the customers they ultimately serve.
Tissue culture allows us to approach propagation with consistency from the beginning. Instead of simply selling plants, our role is to help provide professional growers with the starter material they need to build their own finished crops.
Disease concerns can create expensive problems in commercial growing operations. AG2 TC’s tissue culture production takes place in sterile laboratory conditions, allowing us to produce disease-free plant material before it moves into greenhouse production. Virus indexing is available upon request for growers who require additional testing.
Not every nursery is growing for the same customer. One operation may be producing foliage for garden centers. Another may be finishing ornamental grasses for landscape nurseries. Others may specialize in collector plants, tropicals, carnivorous plants, or succulents. Our diverse selection allows growers to explore starter material based on the markets they want to serve.
For example, a grower developing a pet-conscious foliage assortment may be interested in researching Peperomia and Calathea varieties from our selection. Another serving specialty retailers may focus on Venus Flytraps, Drosera, Sarracenia, or Macodes Petola.
