Alan, tissue culture (TC) requires a lot of special equipment, and is not
something you'd want to try at home unless you have a lot of money and
time to invest in it. I think most people who use TC for propagation
intend to use it commercially (produce many plants for sale).
Otherwise, most CP are VERY easy to propagate through seeds and/or
vegetative means (leaf & stem cuttings, divisions). The best technique
will depend on the species.
