Open pottle lids at least one hour before removing the plants from the pottle. Remove the plants from the pottle and gently wash out the agar using warm water and a suitable bacteriacide (Biosan). Take care not to damage the roots. Place washed out plants in a clean plastic container and cover with damp paper towels to ensure maintainence of humidity prior to planting. Only process one variety at a time to avoid mix ups. Mark every planting container with the variety name.
