Most of the major growers are using tissue culture these days.  It
maximizes the number of healthy starter plants they can get ready for grow
out.  I don't know of anyone who does it privately, as it is usually done
under sterile conditions including laminar flow stations for working with
the cultures.  I believe there is an article on tissue culture techniques
at the Tropica web site.
