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. |

![]() I posted a while back looking for fresh Ensete Glaucum seeds. I didn't find any but I was fortunate to get a reply offering fresh Ensete ventricosum seeds. I received an envelope with about 4 really fresh bananas and I pulled the seeds out. Here is what happened.
I also purchased 10 seeds from a seller in the UK and they are not included in the counts and are the far right in the pictures. ![]() A couple weeks after planting. ![]() A week later. ![]() The ones in the green container were soaked for 2 weeks. I've already transplanted a bunch from the left tray. ![]() and last week. ![]() I've put some in my flower beds to see what happens and how they dig up for the winter. I hope this helps someone out or at least is fun to read. ![]() And special thanks to Peter for offering them and letting me experiment. I hope I have some luck with other kinds and I'm still hoping for a Glaucum. I do have some seeds from India but they took so long to get there I'm sure they are old -- but I'm trying anyway.
