I just received seeds for this variety, today! I thought the person forgot about me, but low and behold the seeds arrived.

I don't want to say my real name on here, but Tog - look at my location and you'll know who I am. We've been chatting in emails, not on here though, so I thought I would say 'Hi'.

I already have some of the velutina seeds soaking in water. I understand they are not exactly fresh, so I am not sure if I'll get a sprout. The seeds are 4 years old! There are so many, that I am determined to get just one to germinate. What do you guys think?

Frankly, I am just shocked to even have these seeds at all - it was three weeks back, so I thought the person forgot about me.

Also what kind of soil do these banana plants like? Fertilizer?

Thanks.
