- Step 1- Do not do anything to the culture for 1-2 days to allow them to adjust to the temperature in their new environment
- Step 2- Open the package & wash the agar jelly off the plant as thoroughly as possible. We strongly recommend using running water. A small paint brush can be gently used to assist with the cleaning process. This is one of the most important steps of the process.
- Step 3- Plant your cultures in the medium of your choice. We recommend a chunky blend of coco husk & perlite. We utilize acclimation plugs although there are many great mediums available.
- Step 4- Place them into a clear sealed package (container or plastic bag). Within 24-hours your container will have water droplets forming, which will confirm the container is at 100% humidity.
- Step 5-Place under a grow lights for between 8 & 14 hours a day
- Step 6- Leave plants covered for the first 7 days. The following 7 to 10 days slowly expose plants to ambient air. Each day exposing the plants to slightly more air until fully acclimated.
Our acclimation kits will contain all of the tools necessary for success. Just add water & grow lights to the simple acclimation process to produce healthy acclimated plants!

How to Care for Philodendron McDowell
When you first get your tissue culture plants, let them adjust to their new environment before starting regular care. Here are some simple care tips to help your plants grow:
-
Light: Place in bright, indirect light for at least 6 hours daily. Keep out of direct sunlight, which can harm the leaves.
-
Temperature: Keep your plant in a warm space between 65–85°F and away from cold air or drafts.
-
Humidity: This plant loves moisture in the air. Mist the leaves regularly or use a humidifier if the air is dry.
-
Watering: Keep the soil slightly damp but never soggy. Make sure the pot drains well to avoid water sitting in the roots.
-
Soil: Use a rich soil mix that includes materials like coco husk and perlite for good drainage and airflow. We have both in our inventory!
-
Fertilizer: Feed your plant regularly with Orange Lake Nursery Fertilizer to keep it healthy and growing strong.
