heat mat at 80 degrees, air 65-85, planted in promix cells (cells 2 inches deep 1.5x 2 wide), soil kept moist constantly, seeds 1/4 inch deep, max 3/8. not shaded (i.e. bench is in full sunlight for 3/4 of the day). No scoring or soaking of seeds. (experimented with Musa and Ensete both with scoring and soaking and found no difference so why waste the time). Generally get 60-80% germination on both Musa and Ensete. Both can surprise one with later germination, but generally after main batch germinates (this is over a week, max ten days) , anything later is within two weeks of final of first batch.
