Default Re: How does Blue Java cotyledon looks like?

There’s a 100% chance they are not ‘Blue Java’, edible banana cultivars cannot be grown from seed as they (generally) do not make seed, and when they do, germination is poor and they cannot grow true to type anyway. There is also a very good chance they are not even banana seeds.

Seed scams are very common online, normally they are just selling some random other plant seeds.

If you want an edible banana cultivar, you must obtain a living plant, and its worth the extra money to get a high quality plant from a reputable dealer, as there are so many scams and mislabels and generally low quality plants out there.
