❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prepare an In Vitro cup?
Remove the plant from the cup, rinse the culture gel under lukewarm water, and plant in the substrate.
Can I keep this plant without CO₂?
It's possible, but the plant will stretch out and lose its compact shape and intense color.
My plant arrived yellow or limp — is that normal?
Yes, In Vitro plants are grown above water and will adapt. Give the plant 1–2 weeks. For persistent issues: contact us.
