Has anyone ever thought about a bit of home tissue culturing?
There are some basic diy tutorials online that people use for house plants with low germination rates and i thought it might be a cool idea to give it a try on some aquatic plants? 8)
One reason im keen to try it is I often find nice mosses when im out and about and im very hesitant to add them to my aquariums incase of pesticides and whatnot.
I know you cant be 100% sterile at home (equipment not me ) but I think there is a chance of it working.
Anyone else up for it?
Thought we could share our experiences on amounts of minerals vs. growth rates etc.
The basic principle is a mineral and nutrient rich agar in a sterilised jar and a sterilised sample of 'chosen plant' then leave and relax.
