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.
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 👍🏻
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.
That looks like either peat moss or coco coir...both are very light and rather fluffy...both are used in the pellets that are sold for starting seeds and young plants...all seeds should be kept moist more on the dry side that wet side when they are started...too wet and seeds will rot....and soil from the yard is too heavy for young seeds.
I ended up germinating roughly 50% of the seeds. Some of them take a lot of time, the last seed I germinated before throwing the remaining seeds out was in early june.
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.
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.
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.
Your problem is one I am all too familiar with. Warmth+Humidity+Still air is a mold paradise. I am currently experimenting on some stuff to keep the mold growth at bay, although it's going to take some months before I can say anything for certain. My hypothesis is however, that adding a small concentration of hydrogenperioxide to the water, will substantially eliminate mold from growing. I'm thinking something like a 0.1% concentration, although this might be too strong for the banana seeds - Not sure yet! There is also the old household trick of covering your seeds in a layer of cinnamon. Personally I haven't had any luck using cinnamon, but lots of people are reporting that it's working for them, so who knows.
Keep the cotton moist so every so often by adding water(preferably distilled water) to the tray before it gets completely dry but keeping it enclosed in the container helps keep moisture inside as well as the humidity. If the container dries out completely youll likely have to start all over with a new set of seeds.. So keep it moist and warm! Sorry if that sounded dirty haha 😏 ..... But hey good luck tho!

Hola hermano, justamente yo también estoy germinando musa velutina, llevan un mes
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.. :)

Great job I love to learn about banana farming
amazing video, thank you so much!
I love you so much right now. LOL Thank you for showing us. :D
Moc pěkný video návod Děkuji . Zkouším naklíčit podle videa,tak doufám, že se mi to povede.
This is very cool video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us good sir.
Great video...Thanks!
This is so cool!! Roughly how long does it take for the roots begin to sprout and you transplant them to a pot?
Super
Thank you so much,I ordered my banana seeds from Amazon today,just a question,can I use a damp paper towel instead? Thanks
We can directly place the seeds in soil also for easy germination
Great information cool
How long is the time between soaking the seeds in water until germination?
❤❤❤❤
What type of soil did you put them into? Also, did you have to add water at all while you were waiting for germination?

How long did it take to germinate once you sowed?
where you get such big banana seeds?
Banana seeds take 3 weeks to 3 months to germinate. No matter what you do.
Wow I will try this method.
Thank you to share.
Can you tell me how many percent of germination?
I ended up germinating roughly 50% of the seeds. Some of them take a lot of time, the last seed I germinated before throwing the remaining seeds out was in early june.
@@F0rumguyFTW i order seed from Esty and I got it today. How exciting 😁😁.

I placed them in my window. The heat of the sun was enough to get them going. I'd say they'd get heated by the sun for approximately ~10 hours a day.
Did all of them sprout though?
I SAW COOCKING WATER FOR 20 SEC
True to type?
Where can I get those seeds

Super😭😭😭😭😭
Kahe se mile seed
Such a great video... Loved it ❤ . Did you water the seeds everyday when you put it in cotton and for how many days did you keep it in the box?
Keep the cotton moist so every so often by adding water(preferably distilled water) to the tray before it gets completely dry but keeping it enclosed in the container helps keep moisture inside as well as the humidity. If the container dries out completely youll likely have to start all over with a new set of seeds..
So keep it moist and warm! Sorry if that sounded dirty haha 😏 .....
But hey good luck tho!
