1. Prepare a Suitable Environment:

• Choose a clean, well-lit area with indirect sunlight for acclimatizing the plants.
• Ensure the temperature is consistent and appropriate for the specific plant species.

2. Inspect the Flask:

• Check the flask for any signs of damage or contamination before opening.
• Ensure the plantlets inside the flask look healthy and free from any abnormalities.

3. Prepare for Transfer:

• Wash your hands thoroughly and sterilize any equipment you'll use, such as scissors or forceps.
• Prepare the potting medium suitable for the plant's needs. A sterile, well-draining mix is typically recommended.

4. Transfer the Plantlets:

• Open the flask carefully, following any instructions provided by the supplier.
• Using sterile tools, carefully remove the plantlets from the flask one at a time.
• Gently rinse the plantlets with water to remove any residual media from the flask.

5. Planting:

• Prepare the planting containers with the potting medium.
• Plant each individual plantlet in its own container, ensuring the roots are covered with soil and the plant is well-supported.

6. Provide Adequate Care:

• Place the newly potted plantlets in a location with indirect sunlight to prevent stress.
• Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, adjusting watering frequency based on the plant's needs.
• Monitor for any signs of stress, such as wilting or yellowing leaves, and adjust care accordingly.

7. Acclimatization:

• Gradually expose the plants to longer periods of sunlight over several days to prevent sunburn.
• Avoid exposing the plants to harsh environmental conditions or sudden temperature changes during the acclimatization process.

8. Regular Maintenance:

• Maintain a consistent watering schedule, ensuring the soil doesn't dry out completely between waterings.
• Monitor for any signs of pests or diseases and treat promptly if detected.
• Fertilize the plants regularly with a balanced fertilizer according to the manufacturer's instructions.

9. Patience and Observation:

• Be patient with the acclimatization process, as tissue culture plants may take some time to adjust to their new environment.
• Monitor the plants regularly for signs of growth and overall health, adjusting care as needed.
