Banana Seed Germination Forum As one of the toughest seeds in the plant kingdom to figure out the keys to germination success with, this is a forum with banana seed germination tips. Please entitle posts like "Musa balbisiana," or "Musa cheesmani," etc. People would then post a reply under that heading, sharing their germination successes (and failures), what materials and methods they used, germination percentage, etc.

Nice! Keep us updated as to how they grow. If anyone else wants some seeds, PM me your postal address. They are from wild banana plants in the forest, probably some subspecies of Musa acuminata. The climate here is hot and humid, 90% humidity, daily temperature 25-33C. The bananas grow in full sun (which is hot as it is near the equator) or partial shade, but they grow best in full sun.

My congratulations Beng!
I´m already very excited of receiving the seeds, too.
In areas with high humidity most bananas grow in full sun best.
Here in Europe with its low humidity in summer bananas prefer partial shade.

That's a very cool project. I'd love to grow wild bananas, but I don't think they'd survive very well here.

Hey,

from Christmas they went into the ground, I have three days to weeks, and then left to stand at 25 °. with slightly moist soil. matter of patience then. I really extreme kinds of kiemers separate Musas. you have some pictures of the whole plant / flower you've harvested them from?

Thanks Beng for the seeds, please be sure to keep me updated if the velutina seeds I sent sprout. I didnt do anything special to get your seeds to sprout, I sowed in rich organic soil, at a depth of 2cm, soaked overnight in water prior to sowing, maybe 2.5 weeks to germinate?

Hello, friends. I also have fun! Today, on my birthday, came the first germ of Musa acuminata from Beng. Beng, thank you very much once again. You are doing a good job keeping the population of your banana.
Seeds germinated one month. Unfortunately due to the incorrect Google translation, I still can not upload photos and create an album.

Thanks for the news. How did you make them germinate? What temperature did you keep them at?
