Amniotic Fluid for Plants.
Posted: Mon Nov 08, 2010 10:43 pm
Reading Hilary's comment about homogenised milk another use for it was niggling at the back of my mind just out of reach, so I tried a google search
for horticultural uses for milk, well I didn't find what I was looking for, but something else came up that others here might find interesting.
Apparently the equivalent of amniotic fluid for plants is the watery liquid found n young coconuts, which contains sugar, fibre, proteins, anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals. Coconut water provides an isotonic electrolyte balance, and is a highly nutritious food source. It’s so full of sugar, vitamins, trace elements and other nutrients that it encourages and sustains growth. It is considered a choice medium component for regenerating plant tissue, ideal in a gel medium like agar if you wish to clone a plant.
