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.

Randy, sorry I haven't checked in for a while. The seeds you sent are doing well, the M. velutina are starting to sprout, actually I think the first one popped up a month ago. I'll get some pics after the batteries charge :~)

Hey Randy,

I checked on my seeds today, and I am very happy to report that I have 2 sprouts. These were sown in November. Hopefully, the others are not to far behind. I will post pictures soon.

Hey Randy! My seeds are undergoing a different experiment than when I started. My heating pad went south when I plugged it in so they are doing the normal warm/cool variance naturally, outside. Nothing happening so far (I'm not surprised), but, my hopes are high for later this spring.



Thanks again, and I'll keep you updated...

Hiya Re: OK>>>> Seeds are ready on the velutina!!!
Hi Randy
My seeds still havent germinated. I check them everyday! Iam thinking about sterilizing some soil in the oven or microwave to see if that will make a difference. Im looking forward to springs warmth, as iam sure that will make a difference too. I'll keep reporting periodically. MG

My first seedling died, I think from getting a little dry. I have another one in the tray though.
