Default Re: ensete ventricosum questions

Scarification may be useful on other seeds, but if you try it with Musa or Ensete seeds, you must sterilize the seed before scarification and then use sterile soil-less mix for germination. Tog's method is much easier. The key is getting ripe, fresh seed and then providing optimal temp and humidity throughout the germination period. Some banana seeds do better with alternating temps.
