Hi Kris,
The word here is PATIENCE. I placed the seeds in a zip-lock sandwich bag
with just barely moist sphagnum moss - not the unmilled type tho. Keep the
bag fairly warm, at least 70F+. I kept the bag out on my rear porch last
summer, but out of direct sunlight My seeds of Musa velutina took almost 9
months to germinate! You will be able to see the germinating seeds through
the bag. Then you can remove the germinated seeds to normal potting medium.
Good Luck!
