Well im confused now, i was told that banana plants need temprature fluctuations to effectivly germinate, well i have 5 seeds in warm moist tissue paper in a dish wrapped in cling film in a shoe box under my heat mat- Temprature 29c for 12 hours and 16c for 12 hours. I guess ill put the other seeds in a propigator and keep at a fairly steady 28c, should i use a drainage layer of vermiculite ? Also B-Williams reccomended half a 2L bottle filled with moss compost put in a warm place with bottom heat (there is a pic at the bottom of the page)
Thanks ;D
