Hi banana experts.

I have the following species to germinate :

Musa zebrina blood banana
Musa ornata purple
Musa laterita
Ensete perierii
Ensete ventricosum

I have the following recources at my possession:

1. Plastic zip-lock bags
2. Hydrogen peroxide 3% (my wifes - usually used for wounds, but I will steal it)
3. Some cheap potting soil
4. Perlite
5. Sand (not sterile)
6. Room temperature
7. Heating radiator (with solid 30-35 C above it - depending on distance)

So, I need advice how to germinate this babies

P.S. I think it is important to say, that I'm expirienced in germinating bananas, so I dont need any basic instructions.
I need advice regarding this exact bananas / ensetes, such as germinating temperatures and stuff.
Thank you
