Woo Hoo! First banana germination! Musa sikkimensis 'Darjeeling Giant'
Today has been a nice day for me...
It's raining, so work has been called off for the day, so I decided so set up my heatmat (finally) to help with germinating some seeds. When I went out to grab the tray that has been outside I found this little guy, Musa sikkimensis 'Darjeeling Giant'. Now I just have to keep it alive!

Re: Woo Hoo! First banana germination! Musa sikkimensis 'Darjeeling Giant'
Sweet! Don't overwater when they are young, or you can easily kill it by rotting the stem. You have it in a peat pot, which is good. Plenty of sun, heat, and water when it starts to get a bit dry, and it will take off. Mine is really growing well right now, and I can't wait to plant it next spring. The cool thing about bananas is you really only need one to sprout in order to eventually have many. Good luck with it, and keep us updated on its progress!

Re: Woo Hoo! First banana germination! Musa sikkimensis 'Darjeeling Giant'
Thanks Frank!
After you had posted your pics, I was really hoping I could get at least one to sprout, and hopefully thrive! I put the pot in one of my old terrariums with some other plants. I am really hoping it takes off in there!
