Default Re: Poor man's greenhouse

I liked everyone's ideas about makeshift greenhouses...I have 4 musa laliocarpa seeds planted right now (planted in Feb.) in a small plastic pot with a quart size bag over the pot secured by a rubberband. I keep it in a south window where it gets sunshine throughout the day (whenever its out, we've had alot of rain and some snow in VA here of lately) and at night I keep the pot on a heating blanket set on a low setting. Not your conventional method, I agree...I just hope these seeds germinate. Can anyone tell me what I need to do if these germinate (should I leave them to get bigger or put them in individual containers?) and also what kind of soil to use...I've read that potting soil isn't recommended...any help you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks...
