Re: What seeds have germinated for you?
Everything except that darn Musa Ingens! Some of the easier ones have been the hybrids, as well as sikkimensis, balbisiana, velutina, and ornata.
The more difficult ones have been Musa Acuminata, Musa Itinerans, and Ensete Superbum.
I have had batches of seeds that have been impossible to geminate. I ordered 200 seeds of ensete ventricosum once, and planted 50. Not a single one germinated. A year later I planted the rest, just to get rid of them. Almost everything germinated, EXACT same procedure and materials. Who knows what's going on in that little seed...
My best tip would be to use hygienic soil but not pure perlite or vermiculite. And also keep the soil kind of wet. Don't worry, it will take a LONG time before any banana seeds rot. If it's too dry, germination will be slow and sporadic. And offcourse, without fluctuating temps, there is no chance!!
