This is a great video and is well researched. Too many people give up on banana seeds because they either didn't soak them, didn't give a good day/night temp cycle or let them dry out. I'm trying to grow some "Musa velutina" right now and most of the other videos on this subject skip vital information like the temperature cycling or fail to show the final results.

For anyone curious, most dormant seeds will eventually break dormancy even without the required criteria. This is why you can sometimes get away without stratifying, scarifying, providing heat or soaking but it will take up to 800% longer depending on the exact species. If you fail to provide banana seeds with perfect conditions, you may be left waiting 3-18 months for any progress.

Edit: When potting a banana tree, give it a 40% organic to 60% sand/inorganic mix. This will help prevent rot. They also prefer organic matter from tree bark and to have *slightly* acidic soil at around 5.5-6.5 PH.

what an excellent choice of music - i was happily entranced at this germination story

Thanx...I have followed the same procedure.. today after 5 weeks finally the seeds are germinated.. :)

Interesting video. I use damp vermiculite myself to germinate seeds. It is airy and retains moisture well, and a lot easier to pick sprouting seeds from compared to cotton 👍🏻

Moc pěkný video návod Děkuji . Zkouším naklíčit podle videa, tak doufám, že se mi to povede.

Great job I love to learn about banana farming

We can directly place the seeds in soil also for easy germination

Hey! Great video mate. Also, great choice of seeds my dude. Bananas are honestly my favorite fruit! They are so simple and easy to eat and they don't make any sort of mess, so absolutely no hassle! Just a heads up though. Do avoid deepthroating bananas or sticking them up your bum if you have removed the banana peel. There is a risk of the banana breaking and getting stuck in your throat, which would be a huge yikes. I won't judge you for doing it, but do try to keep safe when enjoying your favorite fruit.

Banana seeds take 3 weeks to 3 months to germinate. No matter what you do.

Thank you so much, I ordered my banana seeds from Amazon today, just a question, can I use a damp paper towel instead? Thanks

[lindsayallen]

This is so cool!! Roughly how long does it take for the roots begin to sprout and you transplant them to a pot?

[tolley]

Wow I will try this method.
Thank you to share.

Can you tell me how many percent of germination?

Thankyou for sharing this excellent technique for germinating musa seeds. What did you use as a heat source and what length of time between the high and low temps.

How long did it take to germinate once you sowed?

How to imagine that such seeds exist in a banana. Many people don't know that banana seeds are tiny. The reason for this is the genetic modification of bananas sold in the market, so that there are no seeds. Because of this, people are unaware that normally the seeds of the banana are indeed found in the banana.

[ginablanchard]

What type of soil did you put them into? Also, did you have to add water at all while you were waiting for germination?

[عبدالعزيزأحمد-نش]

How long is the time between soaking the seeds in water until germination?

Hi there, I tried germinating musa banana seeds and after the plug emerged a white mold appears and they were not successful. Do you have any tips or suggestions? I wonder if they got too hot and moist in the windowsill with the lid on.
