Im currently growing seeds of monkey finger,yunnan,and balbisiana,I have a yunnan seedling already (took 1 month exactly)and I have them on a germination pad at constant heat,my question is should I be fluctuating the temperature with the monkey fingers and the balbisiana or just leave it as it is,there is alot of conflicting info out there as we all know!!!!thanks

I didn't realise monkey fingers had seeds, or maybe it's Latin name is more familar, anyway I digress.

On the whole a dormant banana seed needs fluctuating temperatures or so all the literature says, but you may get away with constant temeprature it just may take a little longer.

But, you have had success so :woohoonaner: to that!
