Plantlet hardening and establishment

Today we are going to show you what is plantlet hardening and establishment. Basically it is establishment of a plant into soil, and the objective is to understand and witness the ability of plant to adjust to extreme harsh condition in ex vitro environment in order to survive and grow.

The experiment is rather simple:

1.  preparing the soil
2. transfer the plant
3. Make a mist chamber
4. Record the growth of the plant every week 

First the soil preparation

Moisture the soil with water

We now transfer the plantlet

We can make a mist chamber by making holes on a plastic bag

Then spray water in inner surface of the plastic before covering the pot

And there we have it.
