Hi, I'm Jose.
I grow — and I teach.
I've spent over a decade cloning exotic plants in Puerto Rico — from Musa obtained through the USDA to anthuriums, alocasias, monsteras and philodendrons — and I built Joe's Exotic Lab to teach you to do it at home, with no expensive lab.
From importing plants to cloning them myself.
Joe's Exotic Plants was born from a conviction: tissue culture techniques shouldn't be limited to large labs or academic institutions. Any disciplined person with the right knowledge can do it successfully at home.
I started by importing and propagating plants the traditional way, but it was slow and expensive. Tissue culture changed everything — and I realized almost all the good material was locked behind pricey labs. So I teach the practical version: what you actually need to do this at home.
We work with internationally renowned suppliers like Plant Cell Technology and maintain protocols aligned with industry standards.
What guides us.
Scientific rigor
We work with validated protocols, verified inputs and reproducible practices. What we teach is what we apply.
Real mentorship
We don't sell generic courses or depersonalized services. Personal attention, technical follow-up, direct communication.
Regional focus
We adapt content, species and processes to the reality of the Caribbean and Latin American grower. We think in Spanish and operate from Puerto Rico.
