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.

Lol!!! Hey, it worked! Congrats on your seeds germinating! I noticed today that my Snow Bananas are germinating. I have them in a community pot. They were outside in full sun untill some flowers (Marigolds) fell ontop of them providing shade. Seemed to have worked.
