For anyone wanting to germinate "musa velutina," it is simple as using jiffy trays, seed starting soil, and a Ziploc bag. It takes approximately two weeks but this was the method that I used. I had a 63.6% (7 out of 11) germination rate. I do not know if this would work for other varieties of banana plants to start seeds as I have heard they have been more difficult to germinate.
