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.

Talking Successful Germination
1 out of 17 Musa velutina has sprouted after 25 days. This was my first attempt at germinating musa seeds. For a heat source, I placed the container they were on a top of a fishtank.

Good deal! Never give up on the others though. I've had them to germinate after a few years in the ground.

Another one has sprouted. The first one to sprout has unfurled its first leaf.

It's hard to see, but it has a second leaf coming out.

The tomato seedlings in the background are leggy due to it raining for the last few days.

H1, Good luck with your sprouts. It' day eleven since I planted my Abyssimian(Ensete)
seed. They have been scarified,soaked, and on a heat matt. I planted all 20, didn't
want to take chances. I guess I'm losing it. I just ordered Ensete Glaucum seed and another heat matt. Don't know what I'll do if they actually germinate.
Still going bananas in NJ.
