Hi,

I am a complete novice at planting things, so I could have killed my banana seeds before I even started.

I soaked my seeds for 24 hrs as instructed on the packet- then have put them on cotton wool, under a glass on a warm windowsill. (in UK so never really warm compared to a lot of your climates)
When I soaked the seeds, on floated and one sunk- does this mean anything?

They've been on the windowsill for about a fortnight now, how long should it take before anything happens?

Also, one appears to be growing some mould(?), I assume that is a bad sign- I wipe it off every couple of days.

If anyone can help, I'd be very grateful!

Hannah. xx
