Colocasia Bastet Queen

What Colocasia Bastet Queen is

Bastet Queen is a Colocasia grown for dark foliage. Finished plants read as a black-to-purple elephant ear with lighter veins. That is the look shops sell in 4-inch and larger pots. Tissue culture plantlets will not show that leaf yet. Color and size come after deflasking, acclimation, and grow-out.

If you landed here from a thin product row, stay on this guide for the plant and packing notes, then use the product page to buy wholesale TC.

How the tissue culture plantlets look and arrive

You receive young tissue culture starts in a sealed bag or flask, not a 1-gallon elephant ear. The photo above is a labeled TC bag from this SKU. Typical plantlets:

• Small crowns with a few juvenile leaves. New leaves can still look green.
• Roots in gel or a thin layer of media inside the bag.
• A printed cultivar label. Count plantlets against the line qty on the invoice, not against a finished-pot photo.

Day-of steps: open, rinse gel if present, pot at culture depth. That is deflasking. Then keep high humidity and vent in steps. That wean is acclimation. Do not grade plantlets as off type on day one because a new leaf is still green. Dark color shows later.

If you need rooted trays instead of flasks, that is a different product line. See tissue culture vs rooted plugs and the plugs page. This Bastet Queen SKU is TC on the import list. For a plain-language TC definition, see what are tissue culture plants.

Wholesale packing and MOQ 10

Orders ship as a wholesale box of labeled bags, not as retail gift wrap. Live cart facts (do not guess if the product page changes):

• Line MOQ: 10 plantlets on Colocasia Bastet Queen.
• Pack: each unit is a TC plantlet. The bag photo is the product, not a mature leaf.
• List: import catalog. Mix and match with other SKUs to about $500. About 2 weeks after checkout.
• Not U.S. stock: this cultivar is not on the $250 PO list. Do not send this SKU through U.S. TC stock as if it were sitting there.
• Ship: United States only, inspected in Easley, SC.

Acclimation at wholesale volume

Ten-plus plantlets need bench space on day one. Plan a dome or humidity tent before the box lands. After deflask:

• Keep media moist, not swampy. Standing water after deflask is a rot risk.
• Vent in steps over several days. A full greenhouse bench with dry air on hour one will crisp young leaves.
• Give more light as leaves expand. Dark color reads better under strong, filtered light than in a dim tent.
• If mold, melt, or stretch shows up, use TC plant troubleshooting.

We do not publish a USDA process sheet or lab protocol here. Order the plantlets, deflask, acclimate, then grow them like other tropical Colocasia once they are weaned.
