I made a typo in the beginning of the video. It is Apopka and not Opopka. I spelled it correctly in five other places the same day and missed where it counted 🤣. Thanks for watching!
This video was totally fascinating! I have often wondered how sterile plants could be reproduced. It's obvious that agristarts has invested a lot of time and money developing their processes and products. Developing consistent plant material is challenging. Thanks so much for sharing this information.
Incredible video - thank you Jim, Steph, and Ty from AgriStarts! This reminded me of a grownup version of Mr. Rogers. It's wild that they're growing all sorts of plants, from tropical to edible.
It's very interesting and fascinating at the same time.. so much science.. I love it.. Thanks for inviting us along. This channel keeps getting better better
So amazing! I knew many (most?) hostas in production today were tissue culture but didn't realize so many berries were as well. What a treat to see the process. Thanks to all!
Wow! Thanks for this tour of this agricultural operation. Yes, Florida has a bit of plant cultivation industry. I am familiar with tissue propagation through my past activity with my local orchid society. Homestead and Redland is ground zero for massive commerical production of phals.
Great video! You just never know what goes on to bring us these beautiful plants! So interesting to know where Mojito came and that he was able to name it. It is a wonderful plant!
This was very interesting! Plant tissue culture was a part of my responsibilities 15 years ago in a university genetics lab and then later while working in ag discovery lab. It is great to see how far it has come since then.
Absolutely stunning, it would be a dream come true to work with a lab/facility of this magnitude specializing in hemp propagation and genetic sourcing. Thank you for sharing this!
Very interesting. I'd like to have learned more details in simplified language for non-professionals - needed some inside knowlege to understand what was being discussed. You had a camera on the lady at the workstation taking out plants from a jar - what was she doing? How do they produce so many plants? How is it physically done, step-by-step?
Jim, Pssst. Agri-Starts is in APOPKA (not Opapka, as the title caption 0:19) Great video. Thank you. I always wondered how this company produced its plants.
Hey, last year I bought a calibrachoa called “minifamous (trademarked) neo double orangetastic.” It was stunning/ I could not find it anywhere, not even online that I could order. Do the developers just not produce it anymore? Could it be extinct now? Is there any way someone who loved it could get it?
I think I would prefer a tuber of alocasia and colicasia rather than a tissue cultured plant. I seem to have trouble keeping the newly grown starts alive. In fact I thought that I was ordering tubers last year when I ordered some elephant ears and they came as a VERY small plants, which I then proceeded to kill. ❄️💚🙃
Very interesting, thank you. I was always curious about how they did tissue culture. Some people don’t like tissue cultured plants and I’m not sure why. ❄️💚🙃
I know this is way late and nobody will probably actually see it but you could exponentially increase the number of tags that he could use by using different colored stripes in different numbers of stripes on each of those tags

Thank for your video. Could I ask for the information of the paper you guys use to cutting on it? Thank you.
Love your channel!
Hello sir, I am from India and I have done Msc Horticulture and I also have 3 years experience in tissue culture, so will I get a good job here
I know many of us would love to work there just for the knowledge. 🥰🥰🥰
I worked at a huge greenhouse in Apopka when I was at NCSU for a work study semester. We grew tissue cultured plants...probably theirs. How cool~!
Epic tour! The foundation of the plant industry and the protector of genes!

This was SO FASCINATING to see! Mojito is my favorite colocasia and now I know where it came from. Very informative video. 💚
Mojito is quite a looker, and easy to grow and overwinter, as compared with others in the past.
I hated it - reminded me of blackspot on roses.
Incredible video - thank you Jim, Steph, and Ty from AgriStarts! This reminded me of a grownup version of Mr. Rogers. It's wild that they're growing all sorts of plants, from tropical to edible.
An ABSOLUTE TREAT to see these facilities. I have bought AS plants for years and thank you so much Jim and Ty for giving us the tour.
Okay, this is one of your most fascinating posts yet! Thanks Jim
This lab looks much more comfortable than trudging through the snow in the north to take hardwood cuttings. Great tour and interview.
Agristarts is an industry leader for decades. can't wait to see what ty does in the future
It's very interesting and fascinating at the same time.. so much science.. I love it..

Fascinating- not at all what you picture when thinking about growing plants!
I just shared this with my Plant Propagation classmates at Oregon State. Really cool!
Great video! You just never know what goes on to bring us these beautiful plants! So interesting to know where Mojito came and that he was able to name it. It is a wonderful plant!
First time seeing this channel.
At first glance I missed the first T in the name. So glad that first T is there... So glad 😅

nice is it difficult to do perform tissue culture

Thanks for taking us behind the scenes of this aspect of plant raising, so cool
if only i could work there. This is awesome, i would have never known something like this exists for plants starts. Thank you for the great content!
I would blow my check on plants😂
Fascinating, as expected! Thanks for sharing Jim.
Fascinating! Thanks for showing this side of plant production!
This is really fascinating, thank you so much for sharing!
I've never seen anything like this before. Thanks so much for this information.
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Very interesting! Thank you for the tour.
This totally amazes me. I've wondered how tissue culture was done! I'm wondering if many hosta are done this way. Thanks, Jim, for doing this video!
Fascinating operation, thanks for this!
Amazing process -- thanks for sharing with us.

thanks for insights. Absolutely a good job
So nice to see the environmental engineering for sustainability. 🤩🏵🌿🪻
Nothing sustainable here, so energy depends. To start with
Very cool--thank you, Jim! 😊
This was an awesome video! So interesting to see the beginning of these plants. I had no idea this process occurred.
What an amazing place! Thanks for the tour!
Fascinating!
Hey! You guys are headed south! I’m in Bradenton/Sarasota…I just had my garden open for two tours. I’ll do a 3rd if you’re headed this way!
WOW! That is amazing!
Incredible 💚
I really enjoyed this segment. Very informative. Thank you
Such a nice guy wonder when royal Hawaiian Colacasia will be available available or is it now available for purchase???? Beautiful!! Thanks!!
FASCINATING!
Jim, Pssst. Agri-Starts is in APOPKA (not Opapka, as the title caption 0:19) Great video. Thank you. I always wondered how this company produced its plants.
Missed that when I rewatched. Oh well. Thanks for watching
Really is amazing
So cool I’ve always wondered about this process !
Thank you, this is great to see & learn about!
Very interesting! Thank you
So interesting, I didn't know this was a thing.

Could you lawfully clone propriety seed/plant?
Do they have a youtube for TC to check?

More videos like this please
Great information
I needed blue berry plant,
Tropical anverment.
India ,4°c to 38° c.
Please advise
Great video!
Very interesting!
Very interesting, thank you. I was always curious about how they did tissue culture. Some people don’t like tissue cultured plants and I’m not sure why. ❄️💚🙃
Jim Putnam, do you still have the corn Stephen Shepherd sent you? Gros Michel
Amazing video. Thanks!
Now I feel worse about all the plants I’ve killed 😢😂
That was awesome
My garden is ready for working
Good morning!
Good morning!
As far as tissue culture goes, i'm more of a Kleenex guy than a Puffs Plus guy. ;)
😂
True to type clones, right?
There'd be zero genetic variation?
They for sure mixed up a few thousand Namwah and Blue java bananas in the past, woops
use 2 colors
I. Had. No. Idea.
Hy I am from India and I know about that type work I want work with your team and lab if you need than hire me for that jobs
Cloning plants !
Please send tissue culture leb address and number.
Can share it mail address
I need two Thousand plants of bananas,
Never knew plants had viruses.
GEEEZ-Get out of the way of the interviewee-STOP TALKING so much
Your a sook enjoy the video
so much plastic lol
This stutter is killing me. Amazing facility though
I know this is way late and nobody will probably actually see it but you could exponentially increase the number of tags that he could use by using different colored stripes in different numbers of stripes on each of those tags
Agristart has good prices, I'm normally against shilling trash but these guys got me a very nice fig collection for cheap asf.
So interesting! I love learning about this! Thank you
Fascinating!
