tissue culture clones
Merry Christmas ! Happy Holidays!!
Here's another fun discussion I would love to hear some voices on. How about tissue culture clones? Anyone have experience with them or made them? I see there are sources for materials and oodles of instruction, helps to have a little biology background I suppose. A clean sterile work area is required. So how about it What do you all think of tissue culture?
Just curious.
Would be neat to have that skill set so if I came across a truly wonderful Phenotype, just take and clone a sample into more plants.

yep easy peasy that's how I do it as well. But this peeked my interest and wondered of others experiences and their take on it. Taking cuts from a 8" mother would conserve a lot of space since the cuts can be literally a slice of stem and a small bit.

I looked into it a while ago and Tissue Culture Clones are not rooted cuttings, they are pieces of stem stored in a sterile environment then the pieces can be started in a compost or something like that. It would be great to store a small piece of a plant instead of keeping a mother plant alive. The kits are a couple $100 each and it would be fun to try someday but I have a feeling they would end up under the clothes stored on the rowing machine

Mostly curious, but wanted hear about, or if anyone in this well educated fellowship had some experience or thoughts on it. Fun stuff it would be to play with but I too, am afraid it would end badly.
