About Us

Hab Labs is a South African plant tissue culture laboratory specialising in small-batch propagation, viroid/pathogen remediation, and genetic rescue and preservation.

We provide practical, small- to medium-scale tissue culture services for nurseries, plant suppliers, landscapers, and project-based growers who need reliable, disease-free plant material without operating an in-house lab.

Our Focus

Our work is focused on plant species typically used in nurseries, aquascaping, landscaping, medicinal facilities, and ecosystem projects. This includes cannabis, ornamental plants, aquatic and semi-aquatic species, and others used in designed or restored habitats.

We do not focus on large-scale agricultural crops or commodity monocultures. This allows us to specialise in high-variety, knowledge-driven propagation, where consistency and quality matter most.

How We Work

Hab BioLabs takes a measured, transparent approach to tissue culture. Each project is assessed for feasibility, scale, and intended use before work begins.

We prioritise clean cultures, realistic timelines, and repeatable outcomes, working closely with clients to ensure that tissue culture is used where it adds real value.
