I recently checked out the sources about houseplants cutting indoor air pollution, and it sounds solid. Palms are apparently among the best, but getting shipped to a store and then home on the bus tends to shock them. So I decided to try starting a mix of plants from seed, and I included some banana seeds on impulse.

I have a grand total of ten banana seeds: five zebrina and five ornata.

I bought a thermostat in the right range (intended for reptiles, but hey, it's a thermostat), and set up a light bulb as heat source under the box I'm going to use. (Note to anyone who might inexplicably consider following a complete novice as example: Incandescent light bulbs get hot. They're a fire hazard. Use them only in lamps that are designed for them. Do as I say, not as I do.)

The potting medium is in the oven now, and I'm about to start the seeds soaking. I hope you'll hear from me in a few weeks/months, saying that they've germinated.
