Filter Paper (7 cm / 9 cm) for Slime Mold Cultivation

🟡 Filter Paper (7 cm or 9 cm Diameter) – for Slime Mold Cultivation

Filter paper is a classic and highly versatile substrate for cultivating slime molds. Available in 7 cm and 9 cm diameters, it provides an ideal surface for healthy growth, observation, and experimentation.

The 9 cm version offers significantly more growing space than the 7 cm version. Although it slightly overlaps the walls of a standard 9 cm Petri dish, it provides approximately 65% more usable surface area, allowing your slime mold to expand more freely and making long-term observations easier.

Suitable for standard 9 cm Petri dishes and larger culture containers.
