If you are not going to sow them, store them in their packaging in a cool, dark, dry place. (Do not refrigerate) 1) Pour distilled boiling water over seeds and allow them to soak for 3 - 4 days in the warm water. Let the seeds cool with the water. Change the water \u0026amp;amp; Repeat this process each day. This process is Very important, as gets rid of germination inhibitors by softening the rock hard shells of the Musa seeds. 2) Fill either large cells or trays with perlite, vermiculite \u0026amp;amp; sterilized compost. Stand the trays in water until the medium is completely moist. 3) Sow the seeds an inch deep. Spray the seeds with a little copper based fungicide. 4) Use a heated propagator under the trays. Bottom heat is needed for optimal results with any Musa seed, so use a propagator if you have one or in a warm location out of direct sunlight for best results. Do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep at a constant temperature of 68 to 77°F. Keep at 77+ during the day, while letting the temperature drop to 68-70 at night as this will daily change in temperature will increase germination rates and speed.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e5) Check the seeds daily for germination. If mold or fungus starts to appear, remove the seeds and wash them in warm water. Spray them with fungicide and re-sow in a fresh medium in a sterilized pot. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged. As with any Tropical or Exotic seed, patience is needed as germination is always erratic. Some may sprout within 2 to 3 Weeks, while most others can take from a few all the way up to Twelve Months. Do not give up too soon!

Deje que las semillas se enfríen con el agua. Cambie el agua y repita este proceso todos los días.

Para obtener los mejores resultados con cualquier semilla de Musa, se necesita calor en la parte inferior, así que use un propagador si tiene uno o en un lugar cálido fuera de la luz solar directa para obtener mejores resultados. No excluya la luz, ya que esto ayuda a la germinación. Mantenga una temperatura constante de 68 a 77 °F. Mantenga a 77 o más durante el día, mientras deja que la temperatura baje a 68-70 por la noche, ya que este cambio diario de temperatura aumentará las tasas y la velocidad de germinación.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; box-sizing: border-box; text-align: start; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\"\u003e5) Revise las semillas diariamente para ver si germinan. Si comienza a aparecer moho u hongos, retire las semillas y lávelas con agua tibia. Rocíelas con fungicida y vuelva a sembrarlas en un medio fresco en una maceta esterilizada. Mantenga la superficie del abono húmedo pero no encharcado. Al igual que con cualquier semilla tropical o exótica, se necesita paciencia, ya que la germinación siempre es errática. Algunas pueden brotar en 2 a 3 semanas, mientras que la mayoría de las demás pueden tardar desde unas pocas hasta doce meses. ¡No se rinda demasiado pronto! ¡Vale la pena esperar!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seed Head Exotics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53604689707292,"sku":null,"price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/9931\/2924\/files\/b11_8e4b36c9-a944-4234-8293-7802e9aec922.webp?v=1766675706","url":"https:\/\/www.seedheadexotics.com\/products\/dwarf-cavendish-banana-seeds-musa-acuminata-tropical-fruit-plant","provider":"Seed Head Exotics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
