Nothing here yet. Should there be some already? I think banana seeds are very sleepy. I put mine in a moist well drained mix and placed the containers in a large aquarium, with a vented cover, and on 3 different levels with a heat mat on the bottom of the aquarium. No group sets directly on the mat. The heat is set for 91F but it only got to the mid 80"s F for the 1st weeks. I then added a small incandescent light bulb to assist the heat mat. The timer cuts all off for 7 hours each night so the temps inside drop to 72F. When the heat comes back on it takes a little while to get to the max temp.. They are near a south facing window so sun partially strikes the aquarium for a 2-3 hours each day but the temps then only go to 97F. The three different levels of placement means each group gets slightly different temps and moisture levels. The top group of course dries out quicker.
Hope others will post their methods so we all can see what works.
