Aglaonema Red (Tissue Cultured)

Acclimatization Phase (First 2–4 weeks)
Unpack Carefully – Handle plantlets gently to avoid damage to soft tissues.

Clean Off Gel Medium – Rinse off tissue culture gel from roots using sterile or filtered water.

Disinfect (Optional) – Dip roots briefly in a diluted fungicide or hydrogen peroxide solution.

Potting Mix – Use sterile, airy mix (e.g., cocopeat + perlite or sphagnum moss).

Humidity – Cover with a humidity dome or clear plastic bag. Maintain ~90% humidity.

Light – Bright, indirect light; avoid direct sunlight.

Vent Daily – Gradually increase air exposure to avoid mold and help harden the plant.

Watering – Keep medium moist but not soggy.

🌱 Ongoing Care (After Acclimation)
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Tolerates low light but colors may fade.

Watering: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Avoid overwatering.

Humidity: 50–70% is ideal; mist occasionally in dry environments.

Temperature: Thrives in 65–80°F (18–27°C). Avoid cold drafts.

Soil: Use well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter.

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during active growth (spring/summer).

Pruning: Remove yellow or old leaves to encourage new growth.

Disease-Free Start: Tissue culture plants are grown in sterile labs, ensuring they're free from pests, fungi, and viruses.

True-to-Type Foliage: Maintains desirable red and pink coloration and leaf shape.

Fast Growth: Optimized propagation results in quicker root and shoot development.

Consistent Quality: Uniform plant size and growth habit.

Eco-Friendly Production: No overharvesting of mother plants from the wild.

Easier Shipping & Handling: Smaller, robust starts acclimate better when shipped.

Improved Survival Rate: Strong root systems and genetic vigor boost survival post-acclimation.
