Growing consumables

Consumables for multiplication, rooting & hardening

ViVi offers a revolutionary method to root all kinds of plants. The ViVi method saves a lot of time and space, because of the fact that rooting and hardening of the plants takes place at the same time, and their rooting tray also acts as a shipping package. We deliver a fully controlled growing system in which all focus can go out to selecting the best starting material and growing protocol. For instance, ViVi offers several quality growth containers for the first phases of your tissue culture plant production. All our products can be provided gamma sterile.

Multiplication phase

ViViPak provides the ViCup, a multiplication cup that ensures excellent sealing to protect young crops in their first and most critical growth stage of tissue culture production. The multiplication cups vary in size and permeability to match your specific crop varieties. The cups can be used for automated media dispensing, which saves a lot of time, and it guarantees uniform growth.

ViCup Round

The ViCup Round is known for its easy automation, and it’s provided with a low amount of plastic. ViVi provides this multiplication cup in several different sizes.

ViCup Rectangular

A number of rectangular ViCups as well as the accompanying lid.

ViCup with Filter & Lid

Recommended for plants that require more gas exchange. These cups are recommended for the growth of plants that tend to vitrify, and plants that are sensitive to ethylene build-up, such as orchids, and anthurium. Each filter has its own level of gas exchange, required for the specific growing protocol of each plant type.

The rooting and hardening phase

The unique ViTray with its breathable patented foil system has proven to be one of the best rooting/hardening, and even transporting solutions on the market. By skipping the invitro rooting step, the plants are pushed to put out stronger roots than they would have in ex-vitro conditions

The ViTrays are used in the rooting/hardening phase, but can also be used as a protective transport vessel once the plants are rooted. Each year, more than 50 million plants are shipped in our ViVi boxes all over the world. They have proven to be a perfect solution for shipping your young plants with ultimate protection. Because we are well aware that clearance standard vary per country, we also provide soil-less shipping options for rooted young plants.

ViPlugs

The ViVi plugs are filled with a specific mix of organic substrate, and then pasteurized with gamma radiation in order to achieve a high level of sterility. We offer several recipes that range from different ratio’s between peat and coco fiber, and also different pH- and EC-values, just to match your specific rooting needs.

We offer several different plugs, such as Obturo, Preforma, JIF, and VECO plugs. Depending on the application, the plugs have either been sterilized or pasteurized. The Obturo plugs can also be dried and gamma irradiated, making them easier to transport and results in a longer shelf life. We can recommend a suitable plug for your specific application. Feel free to consult with one of our specialists.

Substrate tray plugs

ViVi provides sterile trays which are transported in a sterile and sealed container. After removing the transport container the plugs are saturated in the right nutrient solution and placed in the substrate tray. After planting or sowing of the planting material, the ViTray is sealed with a suitable foil type, and placed in the growth chamber of your ViCabin. At the final stage of the growth stages, the ViPlug will gradually dehydrate from top to bottom, which optimizes rooting stimulation.

The ViVi plug tray is available in a 48 and 126 insert version. It’s universally applicable in both 6 cm (2,4 inch) and 9 cm (3,6 inch) boxes. The substrate trays are universally applicable to outer boxes of 6 cm (2,4 inch) and 9 cm (3,6 inch). Additionally, an outer box of 12 cm (4,8 inch) is developed to allow even more opportunities.

Media

The ViTrays are filled with liquid media, like for instance sterile water, or a growing medium with nutrition. ViVi provides customized consultancy for the best combination of trays and growing media for your specific plant material.

ViFoil

When all the plants have been planted into the substrate of the trays, the tray is filled with plants and the liquid media is added the ViTray can be sealed using the ViTable Sealer.

The ViFoil is a semi-permeable barrier, which regulates the gas exchange between the ViTray and the climate inside the growth chamber. The micro-openings in the ViFoil are laser perforated, and regulate water evaporation and gas exchange in order to stimulate leaf and root growth. Due to the perforations in the ViFoil, and the constant distribution over the surface, this regulation is very precise, which enables sterile growth of the plants. In general, the larger the amount of openings in the foil, the more plant activity increases. This evaporation is stimulated even more due to a low relative humidity in the growth chamber. Also, the supplement of carbon dioxide in the growth chamber stimulates growth enormously.
