tcplants.in is India's only domain built for tissue culture producers. From FAL units to commercial labs — sell flask-stage, deflasked, or acclimatized plants, accept bulk orders, and get paid via UPI. No distributor, no commission, no gateway fees.
Commercial labs, university research units, and home FAL producers all struggle with the same problem — there's no professional channel to sell TC plants at scale. tcplants.in changes that. A dedicated domain, built for manufacturers and producers, reaching nurseries, landscapers, and serious collectors across India.
Set minimum order quantities, sell in packs of 5, 10, or 100. Bulk pricing, stage variants (flask / deflasked / acclimatized), and custom pack sizes — all native to the platform.
Tissue culture buyers pay a premium for provenance. List your explant source, propagation media, and hardening protocol right on the product page. Build buyer confidence that no Facebook post ever can.
Your buyers aren't just collectors. Commercial nurseries, government horticulture departments, and landscaping firms all source TC plants. One store, every segment — wholesale enquiries via WhatsApp built in.
Buyers pay your UPI ID directly. Every rupee lands in your account. No payment gateway taking 2%, no marketplace commission, no settlement delays.
We handle the tech. You handle the plants.
Fill in your lab name, type, what you propagate, and your UPI ID. Takes 3 minutes.
We create your subdomain, SSL, and database. You get your admin login on WhatsApp within 24 hours.

Generate and download your store's QR code from Settings. Print it on packaging, WhatsApp status, or Instagram bio. Scans straight to your shop.
List plants, seeds, cuttings, bulbs, spores, pollen, or accessories — each with its own fields. Type badge shows on every card so buyers know exactly what they're browsing.
Set harvest date, sow-by expiry, germination rate, and seeds per pack on every seed or spore listing. Buyers see a green / amber / red freshness banner so there are no complaints about viability.
Mark each cutting as unrooted, callused, or rooted. Add a cut date. Buyers stop asking "is it rooted?" in DMs — it's right on the product page.
List plants before they're ready. Set an ETA ("Next batch: Aug 2026"). Buyers join the waitlist and get notified by email the moment stock arrives.
See who added plants to cart and disappeared. Follow up on WhatsApp and convert those lost sales.
