Germination Guide

Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours
Prepare a tray of well draining compost mix - ideally 50/50 mix of potting compost and vermiculite 
Sow seeds individually 2.5cm approx deep and cover them with the surrounding soil.
Ensure compost moist but not saturated
Loosely cover with a clear plastic bag to aid humidity
Place in a warm place (ideally 15-18c) our of direct sunlight
Dont worry if temperature falls at night eg if your heating goes off/down as this actually promotes banana seed germination
Germination can be erratic - some seedlings may emerge from 2/3 weeks but others may take longer
Pot on to individual pots once large enough to handle
