    [​IMG] Was given 4 Banana Ensete Glaucum seeds at the weekend. I was told they take up to 6 months to germinate... To keep them at about 65-75 degrees & plenty of light so it will be interesting to see what I get...... [​IMG] Never tried anything like them before from seed... [​IMG]

    I sowed some pineapple seeds at the beginning of the month and there's already a sprout! Mind - it's a bit soon, isn't it?

    Hey well done michaelmasdaisy. Have you ever done the thing where you cut the top off and get it to root from that?
