Clone your exotic plants
at home, by hand

I'm Jose Marcano, and I've spent over a decade propagating exotic plants here in Puerto Rico — from cloning Musa varieties obtained through the USDA to anthuriums, alocasias, monsteras and philodendrons. In this course I show you my full process — from explant to jar and from jar to pot — with a validated, step-by-step protocol.

Start today with the free guide. Course access July 15, launch price $197.

01 · Why
Why Joe's Exotic Lab

We're not a nursery.
We're a laboratory.

The difference is method. Every decision — hormone, pH, light, time — is backed by data and repeatable protocols.

🔬

Science, not intuition

Every protocol we develop starts from measurable data: hormone concentration, pH, photoperiod and contamination rates. No eyeballing.

🌿

Rare tropical specialists

We don't grow what everyone grows. We specialize in high-rarity Philodendron, Monstera, Anthurium and Alocasia — the species the market wants most.

🇵🇷

Made in Puerto Rico

In-house lab on the island. Tropical climate = unique growing conditions few continental operations can replicate. Local and scalable.

02 · Inside

What happens
between jars.

Serious culture is 5% recipe and 95% disciplined repetition. These are the moves that repeat every week.
