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: Whooohoo, Musa Itinerans India form sprouting
that's great! what did you do to insure that the seeds would grow? I started a thread on giant nepals and am sure its somewhat similar.

Re: Whooohoo, Musa Itinerans India form sprouting
I have had 18 out of 50 germinate so far. I transferred them to 3 inch pots after they sprouted, and hopefully they will break the surface in a few days. I looked in one pot under the mix by carefully spraying the soil back with a spray bottle, and they are growing and have roots so should not be long. I germinated them by laying them on a bed of damp sphagnum moss uncovered after soaking for 24 hours, in a covered container. Kept them 80 degrees for 5 hours each day, and 60 the rest of the time. Had 4 out of 10 Thai Black germinate this way also, both in two weeks.
