How to Plant Tissue Cultures:

• Set up a small container or bowl with some aquarium water 
• Remove the tissue culture and gel by tipping the container upside down
  
• Remove as many large chunks of gel either with your hand or tweezers
• Use the water to loosen and remove as much gel as possible
  
• Once as much of the gel has been removed, begin to plant the roots into your aquarium 
• Tweezers are best used for planting - ensure the roots have been secured into soil to prevent the tissue culture from being uprooted
