| Banana Seed Germination Forum As one of the toughest seeds in the plant kingdom to figure out the keys to germination success with, this is a forum with banana seed germination tips. Please entitle posts like "Musa balbisiana," or "Musa cheesmani," etc. People would then post a reply under that heading, sharing their germination successes (and failures), what materials and methods they used, germination percentage, etc. |

Re: big cheap seed propagator
I like it! Well insulated and a glass see through front. You can see what's going on inside without opening the door. Very well done!

Re: big cheap seed propagator
Very nice build! Does the door stay nicely closed with the heat inside?

Re: big cheap seed propagator
When the parts list was given in the beginning post my wheels started turning. I wonder for those that do not have the room for the big machine, maybe, just maybe a egg incubator would meet the requirements.
Heater Thermostat Tray for water Some models have a fan for even heat distribution Small and lightweight. Has anyone tried this. I think this smaller idea might be better suited for seeds rather than starting corm chunks. I have a incubator from when I raised chickens. I shall dig it out and give it a try. All I need is a handful of Musa seeds.
