Default Re: Travellers Palm - Germination

Ravenala, like a lot of other tropicals, can take a short, medium, or long time to germinate. So whatever you do don't toss the seeds.

Size is more manageable than you think. They can survive fairly terrible light, they just don't grow fast. I have one eleven years old only five feet tall. I keep it cool in winter, too, about sixty degrees. Ravenala and Strelitzia handle the cool better than Musa and Ensete.
