Today I finally planted my banana seeds. They’ve been soaking for about 4 days so hopefully they will thrive. I planted six of them in individual pots in moist potting soil and covered them with Saran Wrap. I had some success last year. However, only one ever germinated and I planted that one in the big pot on the porch. It grew into a lovely plant that I gave to a friend at the end of the season. They are using it as a houseplant.
If they all germinate and thrive – and that’s a big if – I will plant them along the South Side of the house. It will get lots of sun and then I hope I’ll get them to overwinter too. I’ll do as my cousin in Austria explained and see what happens.
