Would anyone have any advice on how to grow Heliconias from seeds.I have always failed with them.I tought maybe they should be treated like banana seeds.

I recently planted Heliconia seeds from Jamaica. I have had them in storage for several months. I have the same question. I did some on line research. They can take a month to a year to grow. How are banana seeds treated for germination?

Banana & palm seeds both like warmth, maybe even a soil heater cable buried underneath.
