Well, Hela cells are basically immortal cell line . They will keep growing if they are provided with appropriate media (e.g DMEM,10 % FCS/FBS & antibiotic). Moreover , you should also check for the cellular confluence, if its higher than 90 % then your cells start to die and you need to harvest them again.

Can human cells live independently outside the body?

There are many uni-cellular organisms which are single celled and survive independently without depending on other cells. If your question is Can a Human cell survive out of Human body? Yes, the human cells can survive out of human body if all the nutrition and the other factors which keep the cell to function are provided to the cell. multi-cellular organisms are made up of tissues of different kinds and organs which are inter-dependent for nutrition and survival. So if the cells are removed from human body, it will survive till the nutrition gets exhausted. There are many scientific methods by which the nutrition and other required substances are provided to the cells which are taken from human body and stored for long periods. The cells are also made to multiply outside the body and it is known as cell-culture or tissue culture.

Can cells live without soil?

Yes, certain types of cells can live without soil. Cultured cells in a laboratory setting, for example, can survive and grow in a nutrient-rich liquid medium without the need for soil.
