Default Re: Musa Textilis germination

I put my E. Ventricosum seed in a small plastic tray of earthworm castings. Then I floated it in a larger bin with water heated by an aquarium heater at 78f. I made a wire and plastic wrap humidity tent. Set grow lights on a timer for 16hrs/day and added water to the larger bin every few days.

It watered itself, kept it's temp stable, and germinated all the seed.
Never changed temps.
