Default Re: Banana seed germination after 5 cold nights!

Interesting.

Getting the seeds as close to their natural environment is the key I suspect. It is a strategy for a lot of plants to remain dormant until the conditions are right and this usually comes after a spell of cold weather, I don't see why bananas (especially sikkimensis) should be any different. It won't do any harm to put them in the fridge for a couple of days. I think I'll try just that when my next batch arrives.
