Hello folks,

Well, last year, I got ensete seeds from Park Seed. I stored them for a couple of months then sow them into a tray. I did not put it into ziplock bag, etc. They did not germinated for a few months. When summer is approaching (around June), I decided to move it outside. Two of 5 seeds finally sprouted around end of June. They took 3 months to germinate.

Through winter, they stopped to grow and lost most leaves due to lack of sun. I repotted them into 8-inch pots and they resumed to grow... Today, two banana plants still are growing so well. Their leaves now are getting bigger and bigger. They are around two feet long.
