There has been an albino orchid kept alive under
aseptic culture for a number of years by adding
nutrient solution to the culture vessel periodically.
Also in tissue culture, nutrient solutions have been
added to cultures that have dried some in order to
rehydrate and replenish what has been taken out of the
media for species which take a long time to culture.
