That was great advice and I think a greater number of people will succeed if the time to germinate is shorter as per your method as opposed to months. I only tried growing Musa from seed once and failed, that was following packet recommendations of simply immersing the seed in water for 24 hours having chipped the seed initially. I have just bought 'Pygmy Banana' seeds - the seeds are around an inch in diameter, so I will try your method this time. I have very young Musa Acuminata plants growing, they have gone from 1 inch plugs to 10 inch plants in less than a month. I did try to order Rajapuri, but year later they are not in stock. Thanks for great instructions!
Well I have just followed this with my first batch of Ensete seeds, now the annoying wait, thank you Kris your content has not only got us into tropical gardening it also keeps us going in the cold months!
Well one month in and Ive had nothing at all yet, I think the main problem is they are in bags like you said inside a heated propagator at 25 degrees but water from the humid air in the propogator seems to condensate on the bags and is dropping the temperature inside by quite a large amount. I may have to remove them from the bags
I think it is something I would like to try, thanks for all the info.
Thank you so much for this very informative video, I haven't managed to germinate banana seeds so far, will definitely do this 🙏🤞
I've got a few different banana seeds, I love the plants so I'm going to give it a go. Sounds straight forward. I don't have a heat pad so I'll have to put the pot in the airing cupboard
Hi Kris can i put the ensete glaucum seeds in the airing cupboard? silly question but says needs bright light for the seeds? but othere ensetes do well in there to get them germinated. I normally do the same for the Musa too just taking them out at night to give them the difference in temps. but after the other attempt at the boiling water method worked I've done the same again with these too ;-)
What other types of seeds do you think this will work for? IS it better if the seeds are fairly large or do you think it could work for fine seeds as well? TIA!
Hey Kris, Love this how to vid!! would it be the same for musa seeds as well, they are smaller
It works with Musa seed as well although probably not needed as much as Musa has softer seeds
Also is it ok to keep them covered
I really like your video. I just order some seed also but I’m confused about the juice when you say you warm the juice do you mean boiling?
Warm rather than from the fridge so that when you put it on a heat mat etc it's already at temperature. Warm is 20 to 30⁰c
Great result! Can the boiling water trick be used for smaller banana seeds like Balbisiana too? Should they be in the water shorter because they are smaller?
It works well on those with really hard seed cases like Cannas, Sweet peas, Ensetes etc. Musa seeds can be treated this way but less necessary. And yes be careful not to boil the seeds!
@@YorkshireKRIS Thank you Kris! I'm going to try this with Canna seeds today. My musa seeds have been in the propagator for 2 months now after a 3 day soak but nothing yet...
well I did it I boiled the seeds!! I couldn't take waiting any longer that 20 seconds it was like torture lmao. But now soaking in orange juice on a heat mat for a couple of days before cinnamon powder then go in the baggie and in the airing cupboard wish me luck. I've not tried growing banana for a couple of years but hopefully I will get one or two.....I say hope lol
Goodluck
I hope you give an update on how you got on. Good luck!
@@voxintenebris6367 it worked I have 3 germitated so far yay.
@@stevieboy1ify Thanks for the reply. Well done! That is an excellent result! I am hoping to try this method later in the year, when I have the heating on consistently. I have had to bring quite a lot indoors already due to the swings between night-time and day temperatures, so the place is a mess at this point. All the best with the next stage!
@@voxintenebris6367 a little update im now up to 6 germinated and i still think more will too. So think this will be my to go to method from now on. I also use the airing cupboard for my seeds as it sits a nice 30 degrees in there so perfect for banana seeds ;-)
Hi Kris, Thanks for the tutorial. I got a few E. Ventricosum from this method so will be doing a few this year again. I'm doing a few Musa Sikkimemsis. I notice the Sikkimensis seeds are much smaller. Would you use this method on the Sikki too? Thks.
You can do but really they just need a good soak rather than any boiling water. Fluctuating day and night temps really help a lot.
@@YorkshireKRIS Kris, Thanks so much for getting back. Learning so much from your channel. Thanks for all the effort.
May I ask where the seeds were bought from? Also germination in two weeks is super fast, well done.
Yes they started really quickly. Seeds were from Jungle Seeds
@@YorkshireKRIS Hey Kris thanks a lot for this. I got some ensete glaucums from Jungle Seeds in the UK too. How did they do? All the best, I've subscribed.
@@iebah1 they did really well. They're about 40cm tall now
@@YorkshireKRIS That's great to hear, thanks for the quick reply. What sort of germination rate do you see? (Sorry for follow up question)
Hi kris how much light do they need when they are in the bags?
None until germinated
when u put seeds in the bag did u just put on top or under the soil ,thanks kay
Sort of in the middle. I could partially see the seeds on the surface of the soil.
Can I ask what the orange juice is used for please? Tried last year to propagate bananas but no luck so will try this when my new seeds arrive 🤞
It's basically a weak acid to soften the skin of the seeds. It's works pretty well.
Hi could you tell me what temperature monitor you are using please
This was just a generic one from Amazon
i live in thai,, i go market buy the plants of my choise [ 1 meter high],, 3 for 2 dollar
Did you do a follow up video to this as I would love to see your results 👍
Hi most of the plants were sold on my garden open days but still have 1 left
@@YorkshireKRIS was planning on trying myself so glad you had a good success rate
Could hydrogen peroxide be used instead of the cinnamon?
Yes you can
how much water in the mix do u use just so its damp ?cheers
It's hard to describe. Just enough so it's damp but not sodden
Hi, I used this method on Musa Ensete (Ensete Ventricosum) and Musa Itinerans Burmese blue seeds, but have not seen any result yet. They went into the bag on 15th February and have sat on a heat mat. Do you have any advice please?
It's only been a month. Very fresh seed would likely have germinated by now. Older seed can usually take a few months.
@@YorkshireKRIS Ah ok, thank you! I'll keep you posted if any of them germinate. I'm wondering, 1) How would I know if I had left them in the boiling water for too long? 2) I did leave them in the orange juice for a couple of days longer too. Could this have any consequence?
Most likely it's what you said in your original reply, and they're old seeds.
@@SejalPatel-ui3gr any luck yet?
@@terpsclusive8612
Hi, no not yet. Nothing.
I'm wondering whether or not to call it a day with them both.
@@SejalPatel-ui3gr I'd wait another few week's before giving up. That's just me though. Waited this long a few more weeks to be sure wouldn't hurt.
Where did you get the banana source? I need a god source
I got mine from jungle seeds but I think they've stopped trading now
Would this work with Canna seeds ?
Yes but they germinate a lot easier anyway. Check out my canna germination video using boiling water
Are those the only ones to germinate?
They all germinated except zebrina
Hi,can I know where to buy musa aeae seeds?
Aeae is only really reliable from vegetative propagation
Where do you get the seeds from?
Jungle seeds, chilterns and turn it tropical
So I soaked my ensete seeds in water for 3 days and then planted then into compost in a heated propagated 3 weeks ago, but now I’ve seen this video do you think it would be ok to dig them up and follow this procedure, there’s no sign of life from them yet and I’m worried they may rot, I also didn’t sterilise anything.
Did you dig them up? I'm in the same boat as you. I have had mine planted for approx 4 weeks and no sign of germination. Was thinking of digging up and trying this method.
