Documenting my tissue culture journey with the occasional normal plant post🌿
Started to upscale production of my Marsilea hirsuta you can see before harvest vs after and the new grow trays. #horticulture #plants #gardening #aquaticplants #aquarium #aquariumplant #propagation

If you look closely you can see green clumps/dots. This is Marsilea Hirsuta and according to online sources "It is a heterosporous plant, meaning it produces in two types of spores: micrspores and megaspores.

Are these spore's?? Does anyone know?

#MossMonday has come so fast and I may be a tad unprepared... But here's what the moss from last week started as. Never underestimate the power of moss!🌿

Also more tissue culture stuff coming soon! Should we try and culture some moss?👀
