Default Re: Conservation

Ken,

TC'ing seeds is not fast.As from what i've heard from MT,it takes mora than 8 months for the seeds to germinate in the agar which makes it slower than we germinate them in sphagnum moss.

Not only seeds are TC'ed,any part of the plants can be TC'ed.

Yes..a lot of plants can be made using TC but it requires patience as it takes a very long time for them to grow and they also need time to harden as well.Harden means,plants taken out right from the jar cannot be planted and exposed to light.

There are steps to make the plant harden before it can be sold or else it will die.
