| 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: seedling m velutina
My notes say these were less than a month old Musa Velutina when the photo was taken. I don't know the exact age but that helps narrow it down.

Re: seedling m velutina
What did you do and how long did it take to germinate the M. velutina?

Re: seedling m velutina
Allen they were simply put ontop of multi P with vermiculite on top and then put into a propogator in jan 07 and left to get on with it. I don't do the 10 hours on and 14 off as I don't have a timer and I would for get to put them back on if I turned them off at night.It looks to be 100% germination too
Sorry they were soaked for a week in the prop with prop temp water.

Re: seedling m velutina
Thanks Mark. Mine have only been in since mid February. I may get some germination in the next few weeks.

Re: seedling m velutina
I find Velutina the easiest by far to germinate. I wish they would all grow that easy.

Re: seedling m velutina
I put them in the soil mix and left them outside in that pot!
