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.

Default When seeds get ready to pop

Do they lose their "eye?" I have some Musa Sikkimensis that I began germinating about 2 weeks ago and it seems the"eye" of the seed has come off and I can see white inside. Is this good news. I think so, I just want to make sure. Thanks

Is the white growing out of the seed? This would be a good thing.
