I ordered some seeds and i looked up how to germinate banana seeds and what it said was to put the seeds in water for 24 hours and then plant it but i sprouted some beans in a wet paper towel i was thinking that i could soak the seeds in water for 24 hours and the put it into a wet paper towel and keep the seeds there for how ever long it takes the seeds to sprout and then plant it.... tell me what you think of my plan and tell me if you thinks its a good idea or if theres a better/faster way i don't want to use a heater(want them to sprout fast so i could put them outside for summer and plant them next year)

Thanks,
Naz

A paper towel will work.Anything to keep the seed moist will work.:0519:

Heat helps

so should i keep the seeds in the paper towel until they sprout and then plant it into some soft dirt?
