Made in The Netherlands
Tissue Culture
All under control to ensure the best plant quality.
Our process consists of multiple stages to ensure the highest quality plants, Ready to Grow.
We produce the highest quality plants through carefully executed steps:
Step 1
Initiation
Prior to initiation, we select high-quality starting material, or the mother plant.
The first step (stage I) of our tissue culture process is the deployment or initiation, where our experienced technicians take a meristem (growing point) from the plant and sterilize it, so it is clean of any bacteria and fungi.
After the plant has been placed in tissue culture, we perform various tests to confirm that the plant material is thoroughly clean and ready for further propagation.
Step 2
Storage of genetics
After successful initiation, we can maintain and storage the plants in our lab.
In our conditioned and protected environment, we preserve the genetics of your varieties until further notice, or use this time to prepare everything for propagation.
During this process, we keep a close eye on the plants and ensure ideal growing conditions, resulting in strong and healthy plants.
Step 3
Multiplication
Our advanced plant propagation techniques allow us to produce plants with consistent quality and characteristics.
Our specialized protocols are designed to produce the healthiest plants possible, while maintaining the genetic stability and integrity of the plant material.
Step 4
Rooting and hardening off
For further growth of the plants, it is important that the plants are carefully rooted and hardened.
At Fairplant, we use various methods to guarantee strong, healthy roots.
In addition to rooting, the tissue culture plants must also be gradually returned to an uncontrolled climate (the ‘outside world’).
We can achieve this in our climate cells and specialised hardening facilities in covered cultivation (Fairplant Nurseries).
A unique advantage of Fairplant is that we can realise rooting and hardening at the same time for various cultivars. This shortens the cycle time, while still being able to export clean plants.
We can carry out rooting and hardening in various plug and/or pot sizes, with or without substrate. This way you are ‘Ready to Grow!’

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Tissue Culture process at Fairplant?
The Tissue Culture process consists of several stages to produce high-quality plants: initiation, storage of genetics, multiplication, and rooting & hardening. Each step is carefully controlled to ensure clean, healthy, and genetically stable plants.
What happens during the initiation stage?
During initiation, a meristem (growing point) is taken from the mother plant and sterilized to remove bacteria and fungi. The plant material is then placed in tissue culture and tested to confirm it is clean and ready for propagation.
How is genetic material stored?
After successful initiation, plant genetics are maintained in a controlled and protected environment. This ensures optimal growth and preserves the genetic integrity until the plants are ready for further propagation.
What is involved in the multiplication stage?
In multiplication, advanced propagation techniques are used to produce large numbers of plants with consistent quality, while maintaining the genetic stability and characteristics of the plant material.
How are plants rooted and hardened?
Rooting and hardening are performed in controlled climate cells and covered cultivation facilities. This ensures strong, healthy roots and gradually acclimates the plants to external conditions, preparing them for plugs, pots, or open-field growth.
Can different cultivars be processed simultaneously?
Yes, Fairplant can perform rooting and hardening for various cultivars simultaneously, which shortens the cycle time while still delivering clean, export-ready plants.
Are tissue culture plants ready for export?
Yes, after the hardening process, tissue culture plants are prepared in plug or pot sizes suitable for export and further growth in nurseries worldwide.
How does Fairplant ensure plant quality throughout the process?
Every stage of tissue culture is carefully monitored, from sterilization and genetic storage to multiplication, rooting, and hardening. This guarantees the highest quality, genetically stable, and disease-free plants.
How can I contact Fairplant for tissue culture plants?
