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.

Nice looking Velutinas Dan and Tara.

I have 1 1/2 survivors out of the 4 that germinated. Neither have 2 surviving leaves as yet. I'll post pics once they develop further.

Dan and Tara,
Man, those are looking awesome!!!! Great to see you do have some that are doing so well for you. It shouldn't be too much longer before they can go outside is it??? If you only have one that will make it to outside and survive your winter, you guys will have lots in no time flat. Thanks so much for keeping us updated on them and contunue to do so!!!
Randy

What fabulous pictures D&T.
Two weeks ago 2 bananas I planted over a year ago, finally germinated and they do not yet have two leaves. Those bananas in the picture, how old are they?
Congrats.... Donna

I have another sprout coming up. It's so close to the other one. I don't know if I should try to divide them or not. Should I just leave them alone? There in a community pot. Thanks a bunch.

Mr. BananaBill,
Congrats, and thanks for the update!!! Man, looks like you have what it takes to get these babies coaxed up and growing!!! Sorry, I can't venture a guess on the brown/black speck on the leaf, but it doesn't look like much to worry about. Hopefully one of the "true" nanner gurus will be able to shed some light on what caused it. Again, congrats on the success you are having with the seeds, and please keep us updated to their progress....
Randy
