Hab Labs provides plant tissue culture services designed for professional nursery, aquatic, and project-based use. As a result, clients benefit from consistent quality and predictable outcomes.
We provide clonal plant propagation through sterile tissue culture, producing clean, uniform plantlets for professional growing environments. As a result, clients benefit from consistent quality and reliable output.
This service suits nurseries, aquatic plant suppliers, and landscape producers who need scalable plant stock with reduced pest and disease risk. We typically supply plants as in-vitro plantlets, with options for repeat production runs or ongoing supply.
We establish clean, stable in-vitro cultures from supplied plant material, creating a reliable foundation for long-term propagation. As a result, clients can scale specific plant lines with greater confidence.
This service is ideal for valuable cultivars, rare species, or plants that are difficult to propagate using conventional methods. Before work begins, we assess all material for suitability and discuss feasibility upfront.
We offer selective, project-based tissue culture services for rare, boutique, or project-specific plants. As such, this service suits projects where flexibility and technical oversight are important.
Custom propagation works well for small batches, trial runs, or specialised projects. We assess each project individually and quote work per project based on scope and feasibility.
We specialise in ornamental, aquatic, semi-aquatic, and restoration plants typically supplied by nurseries, aquascapers, landscapers, and ecosystem projects. We do not focus on large-scale agricultural or food crops.
We offer micropropagation and plant supply, starter culture establishment, and custom or small-batch tissue culture projects, depending on the needs of the client and the plant species involved.
Not all plants are suitable for tissue culture, and success varies by species. We assess feasibility upfront and will advise honestly if a plant is unsuitable or requires a trial approach.
To ensure consistent and reliable results, minimum order quantities apply. Micropropagation orders typically require a minimum number of plantlets or a minimum project value. Exact requirements depend on the species and service and are confirmed before work begins.
Timelines vary depending on the species, growth rate, and service required. Some projects take a few weeks, while others may take several months. Estimated timelines are discussed before work begins.
Yes. While our propagation is done locally, we offer nationwide delivery across South Africa, with careful packaging to protect plant material during transit.
Yes. We offer starter culture establishment from client-supplied plant material, provided it is suitable for tissue culture. All material is assessed for viability and contamination risk before work begins.
Yes. We take on custom and small-batch propagation projects for rare, boutique, or project-specific plants. These are quoted individually and accepted selectively based on feasibility and scope.
