Keep the faith. I planted 36 ensete seeds. I scarified,soaked in hot water for four days and had them on a heat matt under lights. First one germinated at
two weeks and damped off. Two more came up by the 3rd and 4th week.
They are doing well. I check my seeds every day & nothing. A few just rotted away but I'm hanging in there. I know I did everything right. These seeds are
difficult only if what you get isn't viable to begin with.
