Hi all, I'm new here, my name is . and I live in the Netherlands, I've got now only 3 species": the Musa basjoo, velutina and a Musella.
a week ago, I received from somebody free seeds; 25 Ornata, 10 x balbisiana and 6 x Itinerans.
this is my first time and i wanna get some seedlings out of the seeds, but how?
I don't have many things to let them germinate, but here is how I'm doing it now:
first I soaked them for 2,5 days in warm water.
now they are in a pot with ground

they're standing on a dark place, with temperaturs around the 28 degrees.
I can make it warmer >40 maybe or cooler > 19.
I read that musa's are light germinaters (good english??

) so sometimes I let them stand for the window by 18 degrees, or under a lamp ( DOES THAT HAVE EFFECT?)

I hope you can give my tips and pics,

I'm getting over a few days also some ensete seeds, and i need also help with that, I think
