Live Spirulina Culture

Live Spirulina culture, also known as the mother culture, is the living cyanobacteria needed to kickstart your spirulina production.

While it’s always a better idea to acquire your spirulina starter culture from a grower near you, spirulina culture can survive the journey through the post as long as it’s no more than 7 days long. It will not die on the way, but it may need a little love when it arrives, especially if the color has turned pale green or yellow. Just give it some nutrients, light, heat, and agitation, as explained in our many guidebooks and webapps, and it will be just fine.

If you’re already growing spirulina and want to offer your culture to other growers in your area, please fill out this form.
