Olga, nice pic and name, they match well LOL. It really depends on what type of Musa it is, but generally tempature fluctuations(like warm spring time temps outdoors) make Musa, and ensete seeds germinate. You could buy a heat mat, and appliance timer or just sow them in a warm window or near the ceiling in a warm house(for easy species) this winter. I have been able to germinated REALLY old(well over a year) seeds so it's best not to through away any seeds. The fresher = faster germination. GL!

Hi Green99, Glad you liked it.... lol. Thanks for the reply. I presumed that since it's a tropical plant then will need the heat. So, I did what you said earlier. Oh, one more thing, quick question can I take my bananas plants outside in the summer (20 C-26 C) maybe in hot and humid day only. Thanks again for the reply, appreciate it!

The problem with taking plants outside is the plants will burn if you don't acclimate them first. If they are used to low light indoor conditions, then are put in full sun all the leaves will die, but it will come back. It's best to put outdoors in the shade then gradually expose them to more sunlight(after over a week). Good luck.
