Hi,
Hmm, now just take away the soil and germs and Bingo!: Tissue
Culture. Actually, this makes the plants grow faster, but it's used
for replicating and the plants don't get large until they have been
taken out and potted and established. Takes VFT 4-5 years to become
adult-sized from seed, from TC less. However, plants don't really
get bigger unless they are given the right care; not whether you've
sprayed them with hormones. They will grow faster (get large quicker)
but not really any larger than without.
