Default Ensete Germination

Hi all

Just doing this post to get a clear idea of how to germinate Ensete seeds.

Ensete Ventricosum - relatively easy to germinate, soak and then keep at around 25C - 30C.

Ensete Glauca - same as Ventricosum, although possibly benefiting from temp. fluctuations

Ensete Superbum - same as Ventricosum, although possibly benefiting from temp. fluctuations

Ensete Thai Superbum - same as Ventricosum, benefiting from temp. fluctuations

Ensete 'Kluay Pa' - same as Ventricosum, benefiting from temp. fluctuations

Ensete Perrierii - this is the one I'm unsure about. I've heard that it benefits from temp. fluctuations as well as a wet/dry cycle?

Please let me know what you think - these are just 'assumptions' I've made and some from information I've read, so there are probably MANY adjustments to be made.

Thanks, take care

Pete
