Hello everybody, my name is Michael, I'm new here.
This is my first post, I would like to share my experience with germination of ensete ventricosum.
1. Bought 25 seeds from ebay.
2. Soak them for two days in warm water.
3. Put the seeds in the ground in small "greenhouse" on water heater (apx 30 celsius at all times).
4. 2013.02.24 - 7 seeds germinated after 8 days - fallowing pic is 2nd day above the ground
5. I separated them on 5th day
6. and placed them in "custom GH with day lights"
7. About 8 days old here -- 12cm
8. 14 days old here:
9. 18 days old here:
10. 23 days old here:

Hope you like it, will keep you upated.
