The immense bulk ofmodern bananasgrown across the world today are the result of all-embracing breeding that renders the fruits large , tasty and lacking seeds . If you grow a wild , genetically unmodified specie of banana , large seeds may fall out in mature fruit to harvest and inseminate to sprout into a new industrial plant . Generally , banana tree extension involves separate up rootstock tooth root , call pups , to produce new industrial plant that genetically fit the female parent banana plant . This asexual ( vegetative ) reproduction guarantees that the raw plants mature to the same size and bring forth the same quality fruit that gardeners prefer .

Step 1

Soak the banana tree seed in lukewarm body of water for 24 to 48 hr . Although optional harmonise to an online Pacific Island Agroforestry publishing , the soaking damp the seed coat , making it easy and quicker for the fertilized egg inside to sprout .

Step 2

ready an out-of-door dirt layer in a sunny localization or pot grease intermixture to put in container to sow in the banana tree seed . The soil should be sand - based but plenteous in constituent matter like compost , peat or leaf moulding . produce a mix of 60 per centum moxie or tripping , airy loam with 40 percent organic matter .

Step 3

Lift the soaked banana tree come from the weewee bathtub and forthwith set in the ground . A modest yap made with your finger just deeply enough to cover the top of the seed with a few grains of soil suffices . Do not found too profoundly .

Step 4

irrigate the soil to bring the soil mote in unmediated contact with the seeded player . Monitor the soil ’s wet daily , keep it evenly moist , neither juiceless nor waterlogged .

Step 5

Move any container with seeded banana tree seeds to a cheery location to warm up the soil . Watering needs step-up when container are savour in sun , so check the soil day by day to guarantee it always remains moist . Dry territory dehydrates the germinating ejaculate and eventually kill it .

Step 6

Maintain a regimen to keep the grease moist until the seed lastly germinates , revealing a modest leaf from the grime surface . The specific rate of cum sprouting varies by flora coinage . Some bourgeon in two or three weeks , while others may take two or more months . Moreover , warmer soil temperature incline to hasten germination , but each industrial plant species ' seed response to temperature also diverge . Keep temperatures above 60 degree F disregardless .

Tip

If you wait to inseminate the banana tree seeds until there ’s no threat of frost , store the seed in a shaded , nerveless , dry location between 55 and 70 degrees F. Wild bananas ( such as Musa balbisiana ) or ornamental banana tree ( such as Musa velutina ) that have n’t been bred to miss seed in their fruit are best candidates for propagating new plants from gather seeds .
