I basically just did the regular 3 day soak, and have the seeds in a one gallon community pot outside that gets morning light until noon. I did do one thing that is kinda freaky and I'm a little bit embarassed admitting it, a friend told me that in some new age book she read it talked all about plants life force, ect. She knew I was into germinating seeds and told me about a part in the book where it said that if you hold the seeds in your mouth while thinking about why you want the plants to grow then they will grow better. I did it with Musa initerans and forgot all about it until they sprouted after 10 days. I'm not sure if that's why, but I really wanted them to sprout, so I thought what the heck, and they set the record for me, so I may try it again sometime. (It's weird I know)
Update, now 4 Musa initerans(of 10), and about 15 Ensete superbum, one Ensete glaucum, and 3 Musa violescens. M.initerans is now my record holder for the fastest sprouter of any banana in 10 days.
