Germination
Banana seeds are not easy to germinate, with germination taking weeks or months, but it is extremely rewarding to see them succeed.
Prepare the seeds by soaking in tepid, sterilised or distilled water. Using a very small amount of the saltpetre powder provided (no more than half a teaspoon per 3 litres of water) will help remove and residue from the seeds and may aide germination by removing residue from the seeds.
Soak the seeds for two days, using the saltpetre on the first day and switching to distilled/sterilised water only on the second day.
Sow seeds into sterilised compost, vermiculite or a coir/perlite mix.
Use a heated propagator or place the planted seeds in a warm airing cupboard, away from direct sunlight. A temperature of 30-35 Celsius is required.
