The current pictures are example pictures, and are usually not the ones you will receive from us. But don't worry, we will send you a beauty either way! Desperately want to pick out your own plant? Please send us an e-mail, so we can see if we can facilitate that.

We have created this acclimation kit especially for our tissue culture plants, in order to make acclimating them as easy as possible. Our acclimation kit is a combination of our favourite items, which will definitely help you in the first phases of your plant's life!

What's in the acclimation kit?
  • A small pot without drainage holes to initially plant your plant in, including a mix of 50/50 perlite and fluval stratum. This is a great mix to further root your plant and for the first leaves! The fluval stratum provides the plant with loads of nutrients, and the perlite makes the mix airy. The optimal conditions for growth!
  • A transparent plastic pot with drainage holes together with a humidity dome with valve. Initially, this combination is perfect to put your plant in! An easy way to offer the plant the 100% humidity it is used to, when you keep the valve closed. When your plant has outgrown the small pot, this is the perfect next pot to plant it in. Because both pots are transparent, you can easily monitor the roots.
Using the acclimation kit
  • Plant your plant in the top half of the small pot (depending on the size of the plant), and make sure there is a layer of water in the bottom 25-30% of the substrate. Refill the water when you see it running low, so that the substrate does not draw moisture from the plant. Keep the valve on the dome closed for the first few weeks. When the plant is stable and growing, you can slowly start opening the valve, and eventually take off the dome for longer and longer periods of time.
  • When your plant is big enough you can repot it into the larger pot. You can use a substrate of your choice for this, but try not to be too wild with the roots. You can reuse the small pot for corms or other plants.

We ship from the Netherlands, so your order always arrives quickly! To ensure that your favorite new plant arrives safely all of our shipments are shipped no later in the week than Tuesday (Wednesday for NL/BE), so that your plant does not have to spend the weekend in transport.

We will always package your order with the utmost care, and will always use thermal bubble wrap to keep your plant comfortable. When it's cold we'll also add a free heatpack to your order, or postpone your shipment for a bit when it's really too cold.

The great thing about tissue culture plants is that you are initially always assured of variegation, because your plant is cloned from a mother plant with good variegation. Due to the nature of variegation, the leaf markings differ from leaf to leaf, from plant to plant. Because the plant needs enough of its normal leaf colour to get energy from daylight, it is not a problem at all if your new leaf is sometimes one with little or no variegation at all. This will only make you appreciate the variegata on your other leaves even more!

It's good to know that variegation in plants will always be unstable, since variegation is a genetic defect. Because of that there is always a chance that a plant will revert and will stop making variegation. 

Because tissue culture plants can only survive for a limited time in the gel in which they are shipped, we unfortunately have to make choices as to which products we do and do not have in regular store stock. If you order a product marked pre-order, this means that we will order your plant especially for you with our next supplier order. If you are lucky this means you are just in time to be included in the next order round, but in most cases it will take 4-8 weeks before we can deliver your plant. You can always cancel pre-orders as long as we have not yet ordered your product from our supplier. If you want to cancel while a product has already been ordered for you, we will charge a 50% cancellation fee.
