You can try kitchen tissue culture to begin with. Look at this site : omnisterra.com/botany/cp/slides/tc/tc.htmI've done it with about 30$ investment and I've successfully grow d. capensis this way. If I find the time, I'll try again in e near future but I'll buy some PPM to prevent contamination. I don't know if you can pay someone to do it but it must be expensive. Shogg

Ray, there are a few members of this forum that learned to do their own tc and are very helpful with sharing their knowledge.
I haven't heard of any of them offering their tc skills for pay, but maybe if you made them an offer that was tempting enough...
...or else you can learn to do tc with relatively cheap household items.
Take some time and read through some of the tc threads on this board and decide if it would be something you would be interested in pursuing.
Otherwise, getting a professional lab to tc plants for you might be a much more expensive option.

No, I never tried that site. It's for people who produce a marketable cultivar and want to propagate it vegetatively and quickly. I just do TC for a hobby. The prices are actually very reasonable considering the start-up costs.

Ray, if you make arrangements to buy the materials with the company you can either pay via PayPal or a money order in US funds.
And you won't need any permits if you are buying dry goods and not plants.

There is little problem shipping TC material. I'm sure the company could tell you about importing into Canada if you emailed them. That information might be on their website.
