Hello,

I ordered Seeds from RPS (Rarepalmseeds) and used the usual methods (watering, heated greenhouse etc).
After 1 1\2 months still no success.
I always thought, that Ensete germinate faster than Musas.
I know, that some Ensete variations are difficult to germinate, but by now at least one seedling should pop up :-(
I there still hope ? The seeds where not that cheap, so i dont want to give up.

thx

Be patient, they need constant temperature about 30 degrees, 1 1/2 months is nothing when waiting for banana seeds.

i know that i have to be patient, but everywhere i look they talk about how fast Ensete germinate. 30 degrees konstant temperature? I always turned off the heatmap at night, doesnt that work with this kind of Ensete?

Thx for your help

Hi,

I have 5 seedslings from this pieces,
My advice buy by 123zaden.nl very fresh seeds!
But, play with the temperature, its good for the high score ;)
