For anyone curious, scarification of banana seeds doesn't actually increase your germination rate. The inner coat of the banana seed is water proof and the outer coat is not, by damaging the outer coat, you decrease its absorbant mass and do not increase net water flow. Penetrating the inner coat does increase the germination rate but can lead to stunting if it is not done with precision. The best thing to do is to just soak them in lukewarm water for 48-72 hours as the seeds actually take their water in through the "plug" of the seed.
First, I love love the color of your walls. It works great with plants, like a hot sun👍🏻I have a pink velutuna that has about 4” bananas, the seeds are small and hard. I’ve got them planted up. Did it bf I found you ! I have some more seeds coming in from across the pond😁and they weren’t cheap so I’ll definitely follow this tutorial. Thank you.USA
Always sow at a full moon. I used to have a horticultural nursery and the timing of sowings, in accordance with the lunar cycle, makes a huge difference.
Great stuff. I only grown new bananas from my existing plants pups but would like to try from seeds. Can you please share links of where to purchase banana seeds like you showed in this video. Thanks
Hi Wesley, these are seed that are available from the Grow Paradise UK seed shop. I currently have Ensete ventricosum in stock with more on their way in spring
Great video! Are there any bananas that grow from seed but are useful as sweet edible bananas, even if it means having to remove/avoid the seeds? Also, have you been making any banana crosses for optimising to UK weather? I would be most interested if we could breed bananas that can grow from seed and be ok outside in the UK, that are nice to eat.
Very good idea, I'm no expert on Bananas but with the way the climate is shifting I could be feasible. Musa acuminata is one of the most widely available edible species 👍
I Could do with 3 but could you potentially reserve atleast one for me by any chance? I could pass my email address or number so you can notify me. Cheers
Good question, I’m getting seeds on Monday and I’ll soak them in water and use my heating mat to keep it warm throughout the time. I’ll try to remember to come back and tell you if it works out or not.
@@joshualord5725 I had try that when I got mine with half of them and none of them germinated. Well the ones that I put outside something kept digging them up but the ones on the inside on the mat never produced anything either
Thank you loved your video great information I would love to try grow a banana as a house plant but I can't find any seed here in dublin Ireland.. Would anyone know of anywhere I could buy some seed.. Thank you I loved your presentation great knowledge.. Thank you.. David.
Hi! This is the first time growing Musa cheesemanii so I can't comment on it too much yet 😁 I've also grown Musa silkimensis this year and Ensete previously.
I grew a musa basjoo. Its about 10 inch tall. I planted it outside . But curls up from the sun. I acclimated for a few weeks. But seems it doesn't like full sun. Actually not even an hour of it. Do u know why?
Some plants are very sensitive when they are young. It could also be to do with the ambient humidity around the plant. If the air is extremely dry the leaves will quickly dry out and curl up.
@@GrowParadise your absolutely right. The highs been getting up to around 75 80 Fahrenheit. Without much humidity yet. So I've been misting the leaves once in the morning, afternoon, and night and it seems like it's been staying more perked up throughout the day. Thanks
Hi, it’s not a dumb question at all! 😀 Wild banana species contain these seeds, so yes when these plants flower and get pollinated the bananas will contain seeds. Supermarket bananas have been bred to contain either tiny seed or no seed at all.
Comment imaginer que de telles graines existent dans une banane. Beaucoup de gens ne savent pas que les graines de banane sont minuscules. La raison en est la modification génétique des bananes vendues sur le marché, de sorte qu’il n’y a pas de graines. Pour cette raison, les gens ne savent pas que normalement les graines de la banane se trouvent effectivement dans la banane.

Fantastic comment! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. That will be why just soaking the seeds works best for me 👍🌱

Thanks! I was worried about the colour until I put the plants in front of it 😂 good luck with your new seeds.
Fantastic tutorial, thank you! I havn't grown a banana before but I think I will give them a try now.
Thanks, never be put off by what seems too exotic to try from seed. Happy growing! 😁
Thank you for this wonderful video...you are a great teacher....I am going to be trying some musa seeds very soon.
Thanks for watching Dennis 🙂

I love all that side of things, there is so much that science is still to fully understand
Thank s for this wonderful information
I grew my Musa Hookeri many years ago by sowing in damp soilless compost in a plastic bag placed in a warm airing cupboard.
Done it many ways and nothing has ever germinated and used about 20 seads. So given up now.
Can you show how can we collect these seeds
Brilliant informative video, just have my musa ensete soaking, thanks to you I’ll now pop on the radiator. Can’t wait for end results if any 😅
It's a waiting game with Banana seeds 😁🌱

Hi Wesley, these are seed that are available from the Grow Paradise UK seed shop. I currently have Ensete ventricosum in stock with more on their way in spring
The top of my DVD/stereo box is a nice 22 C or so at all times!
When starting from seed, do they sprout out of the soft spot on the seed or is that where the roots start?
What is the hard black thing at the end of a banana? It has a weird shape. Almost like a spear or something
Amazing! Thank you!
where do you get the seed from?
These were seeds from our Seed shop. Currently we have Ensete ventricosum in stock with more on their way in spring 😁
Would this also apply for dwarf banana seeds?

Love the video, where can i buy Musa basjoo seeds from in the uk please? thanks :)
Good question, I'm not sure and its not one I have ever been able to find to stock on my seed shop either 🍌🌱 I will keep looking though 😁
Where do you find banana seeds 11:09
I sowed some nearly 4weeks now, still now show, on heat mat under propagater too.
Looking at instructions on packet it says they can take up to 6 months to germinate.
When will you get more colocasia pink china in the shop?
In the next week I two I will have a few available 👍
I Could do with 3 but could you potentially reserve atleast one for me by any chance? I could pass my email address or number so you can notify me.
Cheers
when soaking the seeds in warm water,does it need constant warmth or alternate with cold
Good question, I’m getting seeds on Monday and I’ll soak them in water and use my heating mat to keep it warm throughout the time. I’ll try to remember to come back and tell you if it works out or not.

Try Jungle seeds, they might ship to you 👍
I ordered mine online
Hi Craig are heat mats economical to run??
Anything that generates heat is quite costly to run, but heat matts are great for the fact that you can get sooooo many pots on them 👍
@@GrowParadise thnx Craig
Is Musa cheesmani worth growing? What types have you grown from seed?
Hi! This is the first time growing Musa cheesemanii so I can't comment on it too much yet 😁 I've also grown Musa silkimensis this year and Ensete previously.
do you know how to plant Banana Seeds Red Dwarf Tree Bonsai Fruit
Where did you get the seed from? Was this from an actual banana fruit?
From our own seed shop. The seed in supermarket fruit wont be viable if there are any present at all

Really dumb question but bananas from a seed grown plant have seeds?

From where should buy the banana seeds/planting?
Veseys
I eat banana daily but in my whole lire I have never seed so big seeds.
Can it be explained in Hindi
