Default Re: Propagating Musa Velutina Seeds

OK here is another group of my little "banana spiders" that I am transferring from the moisture baggie to peat pots and seed starting potting soil - 1/29/10. Since I am having good luck sprouting I am going to plant some directly into the cups with starting potting soil. They will be misted daily and covered with a clear dome to maintain humidity.

Before untangling







Starting to untangle


This one in the center is already turning brown - they are very fragile at this stage and you have to work quickly.


These are the sprouts that I put into the peat post on the 23rd. They are leaning towards the window and I rotate the mini greenhouse to keep them straight.




Kaye, I have been very pleased with the seeds you sent me!!! I think it is very interesting with the results and the methods I am using. I don't consider them weeds and am tickled that I am having such good luck with them.
