![]() If they are smooth and not "worty" or "porous", they are most likely musa sikkimensis.

![]() Hi
Yes I know:I'll put the seeds in water for two-three days as fast as possible after receiving. Change the water pretty often, at least once a day, but if you can change two or three times, that is better.The seeds are then sowed in a light soil mix, that is, soil added sand, vermiculite or perlite to make it more draining. It should be moist, but not wet. |
