These are still just babies, grow from seed this spring, but getting bigger. Amazing out of 200 seeds, i got 11 plants...lol!



Still cheaper then buying 11 plants i guess/and more enjoyable.

Re: Musa Sikkmensis
 

I hope you took the seeds that didn't germinate and re-sowed them somewhere in your garden.
This year I have had 15 or 20 different seeds germinate in soil I've reused elsewhere after going through a winter outside (zone 9) exposed to the wet/dry, hot/cold of good old mother nature.
The next seeds I get that don't germinate are all going to be put through a pseudowinter cycle in the fridge and then back into baggies for another go at germinating.
Good luck with your plants.

Re: Musa Sikkmensis
 

I landed 11 seeds. In a month has ascended 2, the others while sit. Before landing, I stored them in a refrigerator.:2196:

You have had better luck than me with M. sikkimensis, Frank, LOL! I finally germinated my first one last weekend, and it only took about 6 months. 1 out of 50 for me. Funny thing was, it was a control group that I had in room temperature for about 5 months, then placed in the growth chamber with some other seeds at 10 hrs. @ 90F & 14 hrs. @ 60F. Took it 2 weeks after moving it to sprout.

Good luck with your babies!

Hello! Yes rabbits not bad attempted banana leaves! It is necessary to be closer, and that will eat all completely. At me 2 more seed has grown, all it turns out from 11, has grown 4. Probably harvesting of seeds was fresh.:djnana2: All the best!
