Hosta plants are perennial persistent herbs of the Liliaceae family, native to Asia, especially the majority of wild species in Japan. As many as 4,000 species of Hosta plants have been named in the world, and many new excellent species are cultivated every year.
Hosta plants are rich and diverse in plant shape and leaf color, flower color, and flower shape are also quite distinctive,

Although we have a well-established tissue culture
platform, we are a team that is constantly improving
and evolving, so we also use newer methods that are better
suited to handle the needs of our customers' projects
Traditional breeding methods
Reproductive isolation does not exist between most Hosta plant species, and seed-propagated offspring often do not maintain their original genotypes. In addition, the genus has a long child age, taking more than three years from sowing to flowering, and is generally propagated without seeds. The division is the most common propagation method in nurseries, but the propagation speed is slow. How to restore the normal growth of dormant buds on the rootstock is the core problem to solve the division propagation.
The Hosta method of plant tissue culture fast propagation was created to meet the large demand for commercial production. Lifeasible has developed a complete set of techniques for rapid tissue culture propagation using flower buds, rootstock axillary buds, upper bracted flower stems, pedicels, and ovaries as explants.
We also offer the BA induction method, which significantly induces rapid germination of dormant axillary buds suppressed by apical dominance. Continuous spraying of BA will not cause damage to the plant and at the same time will promote the dormant This method will improve the ornamental appearance of Hosta in summer. The concentration of BA required to induce the maximum number of offspring varied among species.
