Tissue culture
Tissue culture plants and those created from somatic embryogenesis are very vulnerable when going from laboratory conditions to greenhouse conditions. Choosing the right type of growing media is critical to a successful transplant.
Quick Plug’s stabilized growing media helps growers avoid common issues with tissue culture propagation, such as soil compression when creating a large dibble hole. Our plugs come pre-dibbled, making it easier to insert tissue culture without worrying about root damage.
With our multiple plug designs, growers can select the right one for their tissue culture. The Horseshoe Plug, CatEye Plug and FlexiPlug are popular designs for propagating tissue culture. Each has its own advantages, and our team of experts would be happy to talk through which option may work best for your tissue culture growing needs.
The Xcellent Plug® is the best plug for the cultivation of orchids from tissue culture. Thanks to the unique design of the plug, plant propagation and the growth phase can be completed in a single entity. The advantage comes from the airy plug structure in combination with the premium blend of raw materials. When growing Phalaenopsis, the Xcellent Plug® ensures a cultivation improvement of up to 4 weeks.

FlexiPlugs are created by blending the highest quality peat and or coir with other organics and a foam binder. The result is a stabilized propagation medium that promotes faster rooting for cuttings while providing the consistent moisture needed for seed germination.
This optimal environment is a result of the FlexiPlugs, aeration and water retention capabilities. Our pH balanced plug also contains micronutrients and active biologicals so it has all the elements needed to promote healthy root growth and young plant vigor. FlexiPlugs are an ideal growing medium for traditional greenhouse and hydroponic growers. Plugs remain stable in hydroponic production and won’t clog filters.
