Plant tissues which have been cultured in vitro are packaged with a nutritive medium for survival of the tissues in a sealed sterile container and with support members so that the plant tissues are positioned between surfaces of the support members. The support members have opposing surfaces for supporting the tissues and for support by a surface of the container and are made of a material suitable for being impregnated by the nutritive medium, and the container has a surface sized suitably for supporting the surface of the support member. At the time of packaging, at least one of the two support members is impregnated with the nutritive medium in an amount so that the tissues attach, by capillarity, to one surface of the at least one impregnated support member and so that the opposing surface of the at least one impregnated support member, when packaged, attaches, by capillarity, to the container surface.
