It sounds like you are doing everything right. Separate the seeds from the pulp. I like to break up the banana and put it in a plastic baggy filled with water. I let it sit like that for a few days to ferment. This lets the seeds separate from the pulp more easily. Then, you can use a strainer to help even more. Let the seeds dry for a day and then sow them in a pot or use the baggy method of germination. Keep warm about 75-80 degrees. They may germinate within a month or many months (up to 6 or more!). You must have lots of patience with banana seeds.
