Richard Hole Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Hi Do you know anyone that has tried honey in the tissue culture medium or are you able to try it? It kills bacteria and is good for plants and striking cuttings. I have used it to strike cuttings. Honey may increase the chances of the plants in culture living without infection and it may save a lot of time and expense of the extra sterilization. I thought it would be a low cost safe solution. I read sugar is used in the mix. Honey could possibly replace that. Do you know anyone else that knows a lot about tissue culture and may be interested in trying honey or finding out about it? I am planning on growing Venus Fly Traps for a start. Regards Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiddal Stick Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 I would never have thought to use honey! Have you had much success with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Kulig Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 Hi Rich, How do you want to start? Do you have a laminar flow hood and an autoclave? Or do you want to make a simple kitchen attempt? regards Tobias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
