Terminalia cattapa leaves............knowed as Indian Almond Leaves (IAL) contain antibacterial and antifungal substances............
But I never test with Banana Seed Germination................in this case..........adding an amount of crushed dry leaves.......................
Its well known IAL to cure fish illness..........
As well as conditioning the water............of soft water Aquarium Fishes.........like Bettas.............
I used to breed wild strains of Bettas..................and I use IAL with sucess...........
Also I used Dry Banana Leaves..............to condition the Fish Water........
IAL and Banana Leaves are common in Thailand Medicine.............
Maybe if I got some
Musa ingens seeds....................
I will test a substrate made of Banana and IAL leaves...............
