Do they lose their "eye?" I have some Musa Sikkimensis that I began germinating about 2 weeks ago and it seems the"eye" of the seed has come off and I can see white inside. Is this good news. I think so, I just want to make sure. Thanks

Hi Noah,
This thread (http://www.bananas.org/f260/propagating-musa-velutina-seeds-10511.html)
contains some really good pics of sprouting seeds. Hopefully this will help you to determine if your seeds are doing well. Good luck!

Is the white growing out of the seed? This would be a good thing.
