I have never grown bananas. I live on the border of zone 7/8 in NC and have just ordered Musa Sikkimensis seeds from GA vines.

Re: New
I have never received banana seeds before so all I can say is that the shipping was superfast and only two of the seeds floated if that means anything. I ordered the Daj Giant and the Helen's Hybrid. I am hoping these will do goo with little to no protection over next winter.

Re: New
So far I have just soaked them for two days. 48 hours was recommended on the package, unless this was just a generic recommendation. I am open to input from people that have had these varieties.

Re: New
Hi!
Banana Seed Germination Forum there are two threads there about Daj Giant and the Helen's Hybrid. here is what i do: -soaking 4 days (with 1g/l epsom salt if you have) -coco soil in closed pot. (to keep humidity) alternate temp night/day for these seeds. (ex: sunny windows) Good luck with the seeds

Re: New
Thanks, I think I do have some epsom salt around the house. I already put them into some moist peat moss in a shallow pot. Do you think I should take them out and soak them longer?

Re: New
you can try to soak longer half of your seeds and see if it is better.
if the seeds are fresh you will have germination within a 8 weeks. (but this is not a rule, can take longer)

Re: New
Well I have an ensete ventricosum sprout now and a possible sikkimensis sprout which may just be one of my very large canna seeds since they look similar and were germinating in the same soil. I don't want to disturb the roots yet to find the seed coating that is attached.
