Gabe, will update with pix when they stop sprouting. For me here, most Ensete's come up in a rush and then they stop. I find that the best temp here in enclosed clear plastic deli containers they do best around day temp 0f 90+F and night 80F. Any hotter, they go dormant. Cooler, very few come up. If the sds are stored in the fridge and then germinated, very low %. I now store all my sds at room temp which is about 80+F.

With the temp range mentioned above and viable sds, I get up to 70% germn rate with Ensete.
