Answer
Dear Sandile,

I was not familiar with micropropagation, so I had to do a little research. It sounds to me that micropropagation is rather new and there for very expensive. However, many more plants can be produced if the process is successful.

There are a number of sites on the internet that cover this topic. Just go to Google.com and search for "micropropagation". Sorry I was not more help. Good luck.

Sincerely,

Greg
