Abstract: Tissue culture and micro propagation of 7 Philodendron varieties were studied. To obtain micro propagation cultures ,higher concentration of 6-BA (2-8 mg/L) is needed to be treated. The concentration of 6-BA 2 mg/L in MS medium is suitable for propagation of cultures. The best medium for rooting is 1/2MS added with 0.5 mg/L NAA and 0.5% active carbon. The medium added with 5 mg/L 6-BA and 0.5 mg/L NAA is proper to inducing embryoids from young inflorescence.
