Plant Cell Technology has launched two new all in one powders specifically for houseplants
Question: Will you be trying out these new medias and what concerns do you have?
These formulations (Houseplant Rooting Media and Houseplant Multiplication Media) are designed to eliminate the need for measuring sucrose, vitamins, or individual auxins/cytokinins. They are also pH-buffered, meaning you theoretically don't need to calibrate your pH. Simply add water, PPM, and your gelling agent of choice. I think this can be a game changer for beginners as it simplifies workflow. I hope this doesn't provide the same results as the Athena Shoots and Roots Media. Since some hormones can be sensitive to light and temperature, I can't help but wonder how long will the powder remain stable. I couldn't find details on which hormones are being used. Regardless I appreciate the dedication of Francisco Palacios and his team at u/Plant-Cell-Tech
