How to Grow Bananas From Seeds
Encourage your banana seeds to grow by soaking them in water, sowing them in sandy and loamy soil, watering consistently, and maintaining proper temperatures. Here are six steps to follow when growing bananas at home from seed
Soak the Seed First
Give the seeds a headstart by softening and warming them up. Put the seeds in a bowl and cover them with warm water, changing the water when it cools down.
Leave the seeds to soak for 48 hours to help the embryo sprout.
Prepare You Seed-Starting Tray
Put seeds in a seed tray indoors.
Use potting soil with lots of organic compost and more than half sandy/airy loam. This will provide the seeds with the necessary nutrients.
Sow the Seeds
Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in the tray. Sowing seeds outdoors in a bed is not possible unless the soil temperature remains above 68 degrees.
Water Gently
Water the tray so that the soil becomes moist, but not soggy. Do not drown the seed. Only maintain conditions that are damp as the seed settles in and begins to germinate. Soil that is too wet can cause the seed to rot.
Pay Attention to Temperature
Use a heat mat on a timer to maintain an indoor soil temperature of at least 60 degrees.Depending on the variety of the banana, it may need as much as 19 hours of cool temperatures and only five hours of warm, but research your seed to maintain the correct ratio.
Give it Time
You can't rush banana seed germination. Depending on your variety, seeds could germinate in two to three weeks or it could happen in two or more months or longer.
