Discover the Secret to Thriving Orchids: The Xcellent Auto Plug®
ProptecOrchid enthusiasts and commercial growers alike understand the challenges of successfully propagating these elegant plants. Orchids are renowned for being delicate and demanding, requiring specialised care and attention throughout their life cycle.
One of the most critical stages in orchid cultivation is the propagation process, which involves nurturing young tissue culture plants and ensuring that they develop into healthy, mature specimens. To achieve this, growers need a reliable and effective plug system designed specifically for orchid cultivation – and that's where the Xcellent Auto 40 Plug® and the propagation trays come in.
Propagating from tissue culture can be daunting, requiring specialised propagation trays and propagation mixes that offer just the right conditions for successful growth. Traditional plug systems may not provide the optimal environment for orchids, leading to uneven growth, poor root development, and, ultimately, disappointing results. With so many options on the market, how do you know which is best for your precious lab plants?
