plant tissue culture is basically a method used for propagating more organisms from the original organism using cells...the cells are fed using a growth medium.
the main purpose of plant tissue culture is to produce disease free plants and,or quickly produce lots of cloned plants with little material.
it seems to be expensive and time consuming..you will have to worry about contamination.you you will probably need to keep your work environment as sterile as a hospital.
i dont believe you can just jump into it. you have to read about it and then you may be able to get yout feet wet..i think there are books on the subject of performing micropropagation at home. maybe the experts will tell us all about it,i can only supply general info. hope this helps.
