Jen, the best research shows that germination is best for banana seeds if kept at 32 C (~90 F) for 4-6 hours. Then the remaining time they should be kept at 19C (~66 F) So I suggest a cool basement area or a closet in an unheated room. The ideal swing in temperatures should be as close to this as possible.

Good luck!
