Looking for tissue-cultured plants? Here you’ll find tissue culture banana seedlings (Cavendish and Lakatan) and pineapple seedlings from Philippine labs and nurseries, sold per piece for farms and plantations. Compare the prices below, then message the seller directly.
Tissue culture means growing new plants from a tiny piece of a clean mother plant in a lab. One mother plant can give thousands of identical seedlings, so a whole field can be planted with the same variety at the same age. Listings here change as sellers add new batches.

Pineapple can also be planted from slips and crowns. Tissue culture is mostly used to multiply a variety such as MD2 quickly and with clean planting material.
A small piece, usually the shoot tip (meristem), is cut from a healthy mother plant.
In the lab it grows in sterile jars on a nutrient gel (in vitro) and is divided again and again into many plantlets.
The plantlets are moved to nursery bags to harden under shade. Sellers often call these in-vivo seedlings.
When they are big enough they are sold as ready-to-plant seedlings for the field.
Tissue-cultured plants are copies of the mother plant. No genes are changed, so they are not GMO.
Plant when you can water regularly, for example at the start of the rainy season
Keep the seedling at the same soil level as in its bag, and firm the soil around it
Water often in the first weeks, and protect young plants from strong sun and wind
Plant the whole field with seedlings of the same age so the bunches come in together
Ask the seller for planting distances and care advice for the variety you buy
Banana plantations and exporters replanting with Cavendish. Smallholders and cooperatives replacing fields hit by disease. Lakatan growers supplying local markets. Pineapple farms planting MD2. Nurseries buying in-vivo seedlings to grow and resell.
FarmyHub is the marketplace, not the lab or nursery. Each seller sets their own price, minimum order and delivery terms, and you arrange everything with them directly through the platform chat. Before you order, ask about the seedling size and age, how they are packed for transport, delivery to your area, and any plant health certificates.

Tissue culture is a way of growing new plants from a tiny piece of a mother plant in a sterile lab. The piece multiplies into many plantlets, which are hardened in a nursery and sold as seedlings. All of them are copies of the same mother plant.
On FarmyHub, tissue culture banana seedlings are listed from ₱17 to ₱30 per piece in Bukidnon for orders of 1,000 pieces or more, and ₱65 per piece in Laguna for orders from 50 pieces (October 2026).

Tissue-cultured seedlings are grown in a lab from clean mother plants, so they are uniform and start free of the pests and diseases that suckers can carry. Suckers are cheaper, but they come from an existing farm and can spread diseases like banana bunchy top and Fusarium wilt.
In vitro means a plantlet still growing in a lab jar. Sellers use in-vivo for plantlets that have left the lab and are growing in nursery bags. In-vivo seedlings are usually smaller and cheaper than ready-to-plant seedlings.
Yes. The Laguna seller sells tissue-cultured banana seedlings from 50 pieces. The Bukidnon lab sells from 1,000 or 2,000 pieces per variety, and its MD2 pineapple from 200 pieces.
Plant them at the same soil level as in their bag, firm the soil, and water often in the first weeks. Protect young plants from strong sun and wind, and ask the seller for the right planting distance for the variety.
No. Tissue culture copies the mother plant without changing its genes, so the seedlings are the same variety as the plant they came from.
