... are easy to germinate and need up to 3 months to sprout.
I found these quite easy by soaking for 4 days in warm water and then planted in potting compost in a sealable container placed in the airing cupboard with temps around 30-35°c. About 75% have germinated.

I got 1000 seeds last winter and didn't plant them til late spring. Used seed starter mix in 170 cell seed flats in an unheated greenhouse. About half are up with more poking up all the time. Beautiful seedlings!

... are very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to sprout.
These seeds are the easiest banana-seeds i have sprouted so far.First I soaked the seeds for 2 days.I used a plastic container with a lid. Used 1 part potting soil and 1 part medium grained sand as medium. Planted the seeds about 1 cm deep, and put the lid on to prevent it from drying out.The container was placed on a reptile heat-mat, which caused fluctuating temperatures. 10 hours of 25-32 degrees C and 14 hours of 15-18 degrees C.I went on vacation for 2 weeks, and now most are sprouting!
