Default Re: Germinating Musa Velutina

I too enjoy germinating seeds. I have 2 mango trees I grew from seed, both are now considerably taller than myself at 6 foot 3; one is about 8 feet and the other around 9. One of them should probably fruit next year. I have also germinated several rare palms, as well as rare wild peppers which can be a challenge. I have not germinated any bananas yet, but I have some rare varieties on order to try. I am looking forward to it. Seed germination is a lesson in patience and perseverance and thinking outside the box. My personal method depends on the seed type, but I use peat moss mixed with a beneficial mushroom mycelium mix. Kept moist, in an container in a warm spot, or cold depending on the species.
