How to grow Banana plants from seed - 1 years growth in 5 minutes.

Growing banana plants from seed is an exciting journey. From small dry and dormant seeds you can quickly grow a large and lush banana plant. This video shows how I grew my banana plants from seed over a 12 month period, including seed preparation, banana seed sowing, potting on and eventually planting out my seed grown banana plants. Nothing is more rewarding than homegrown banana plants.

Where did you get your seeds? MIne came and they are so tiny you can barely see them.

Have you ever tried to grow musa basjoo from seed?
I know they pup freely but as one of mine is flowering at the moment I just wondered if and when seeds might become ripe enough for collection.

Well done but if you bought one by 12 months your probably going to have a couple pups which will pay for buying the first plant. Just another way to look at it.

Had 2 germinate from 5 seed but 3 month later they are only about 10cm tall 😢 any advice? Also why does nobody seem to be growing ensete ventricosum( the green type) are they harder to overwinter than the maurelii or something? For something that germinates similar to sikkimensis there are very few available

What location is your garden? Do you have cold winters? Probably not, if you planted young seedlings outdoors…

[nathanaelsmith]

So why arent my bananas from the supermarket full of lumps like that?

[AadenJacobAbatayo]

fun act you didn't know about the banana seeds, these banana seed were come from the non-commercial bananas, they were called the wild bananas aka the musa acuminata, so the next time you buy banana seeds think about what there fruit and there tree look like after growing them.

I am trying this. I got seeds in Canada from Veseys mail order. I'm only 10 days into this process so let's see how this goes!
