Re: Sikk pup in less then 20 days.
What was your seed source, Frank? I have horrible luck with sikkimensis. I did get one Daj Giant to sprout though.
Edit: Looks like banana-tree.com seed packets...right? |

Re: Sikk pup in less then 20 days.
Banana Tree out of PA, i think. I ordered them back in May.
I soaked them from 24 to 48hrs (in water). Conditions have been perfect. Above 50F the whole time, some days over 90F...humid/dry...rain...a little of everything. I did keep them out of the shade (they would dry out to fast in the shade). Some i kept covered (above) but some of the sprouts weren't covered. I'm guessing the weather was the key (along with good seeds?). I'll let them get established before moving anything. |
