Aroid Rooting Medium

A pre-formulated medium designed for the rooting stage of aroid tissue culture.

Formulated with MS nutrients, sucrose and IBA as a convenient starting formulation for the rooting stage.

From shoots to roots.

The rooting stage is the final major stage of the in-vitro propagation workflow before plantlets can be prepared for acclimatization.

Aroid Rooting Medium uses a half-strength MS formulation together with sucrose and IBA (rooting hormone). The result is a dedicated formulation for the rooting stage, without requiring you to prepare the individual components yourself.

Designed for Aroids

Developed as a general starting formulation for commonly propagated aroids, including:

Monstera · Philodendron · Alocasia · Anthurium · Epipremnum

Different species and cultivars can respond differently to the same formulation. Culture conditions and explant characteristics can also influence results.

When should I use Rooting Medium?

Use Rooting Medium after the multiplication stage when suitable shoots or plantlets are ready to enter the rooting stage.

Formulation

Each litre of prepared medium contains:

The formulation is supplied as a dry powder.
