cloning plant and tissue cultures

• MICROPROPAGATION

  Cut a small piece of plant tissue, an explant, from the tips of stems, and sterilise them to remove microorganisms. Place the explants in a petri dish that contains agar jelly with growth hormones and nutrients like glucose and mineral ions. Once they grow a bit into calluses, transfer them to soil so they can grow into plantlets. Finally transfer them to their own pot. Ensure that the whole process is done at a reasonable temperature and that the plants get enough light and water.
• CUTTINGS

  find a plant you want to clone. Cut off a small part of the plant, preferably a growing shoot or branch. Place the cuttings in soil with nutrients (e.g. magnesium for chlorophyll) and maybe hormones. The cutting will then grow into a clone
