Kaempferia Galanga Tissue Culture

Kaempferia galanga, commonly known as Sand Ginger, is a unique and highly aromatic tropical plant valued for both its ornamental foliage and traditional uses. With its low-growing habit and attractive leaves, it makes an excellent addition to tropical collections, herb gardens, and specialty plant setups.
This listing is for a tissue culture (TC) plant, giving growers the opportunity to establish this rare species from a clean, lab-propagated start.
Each plant is produced under sterile laboratory conditions to ensure genetic purity, disease-free material, and strong long-term growth potential.
Important Tissue Culture Acclimation Instructions (READ CAREFULLY)
Proper acclimation is required for successful establishment:
• Remove plant from agar immediately upon arrival
• Rinse all gel/agar thoroughly from roots and plant base
• Do NOT plant directly into soil on arrival
• Place in high humidity (70–90%) environment immediately
• Use a humidity dome or enclosed propagation setup
• Provide bright, indirect light only (no direct sun during acclimation)
• Maintain warm temperatures (75–85°F ideal)
• Start in a light, airy medium such as sphagnum moss or perlite
• Keep evenly moist but well aerated
• Gradually reduce humidity over 2–4 weeks as new growth establishes
• Transition to soil once roots are strong and plant is actively growing
Improper acclimation, including immediate planting into soil, will result in loss and is not covered under warranty.

Shipping & Acclimation Notes:
Plants ship from our Florida nursery and may show minor transit stress upon arrival, which is normal for tissue culture material. Allow time in a stable, high-humidity environment before handling or transitioning.
DOA Policy:
If your plant arrives dead on arrival, contact us within 24 hours of delivery with clear photos. Approved DOA claims are eligible for replacement (if available) or store credit only. No returns or exchanges under any circumstances.
Important Notes:
Growth rate, leaf size, and vigor may vary depending on environment and acclimation success. Tissue culture plants require patience and stable conditions to establish properly and reach their full potential.
