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.

Thanks,

Bottom heat is about 35°C - 95°F.

Half of the seeds are sandpaper scarified.
(the one germinated was not)

That's awesome! Somebody told me banana seeds never grow true to species - each seed-grown plant is different. Is that true?

I can't understand why banana seeds would not be true to species.

i have mine in dowe egberts coffee jars sitting on top of radiator. water changed daily.

airing cupboard useless since combi boiler went in attic.

i'm also trying post soak seeds in a ziplock bag with usual damp perlite\vermiculite in a thermos flask of water at 35degs. might work instead of propagator and cheaper...

too early to know results yet.
