How to grow banana plants from seed at home 🌱🍌

Banana plants are fantastic fast growing, fruit bearing plants that are fun to grow from seed. Growing bananas from seed is very rewarding and can be fairly easy if you follow the tips and tricks shared in this ‘how to’ video. We’ll show you every step, from a banana seed, to a banana seedling and all the way to a mature banana plant. Wherever you may be in the world, there will be a species of banana plant that you can grow from seed either as a houseplant or as a banana plant you can enjoy growing outdoors. Banana plants are sometimes referred to as banana palms or banana trees, but they are not trees at all. In fact, they are just giant herbs! This is because they don't turn woody, and the whole plant is actually just made up of soft herbaceous cells. So how do we start these gigantic herbs from seed? For such a soft herbaceous plant, banana seeds are surprisingly tough! The commercially grown bananas for the food industry have been bred to have almost no seeds, varieties closer to wild species are packed full of these little cannon balls. My first tip for growing bananas from seed is to source the freshest seeds you can and buy from a reputable supplier. Though the entire purpose of a seed is to survive long periods of dormancy, their viability often decreases over time. Increase your chances of success by using good quality banana seeds. Banana seeds have a very tough seed coat, we need to soften this to allow the seed to imbibe water and begin germination. My preferred method is probably the easiest. I soak the seeds in warm water for a couple of days. To keep the water warm sit the soaking banana seeds on top of a radiator. Spring is a good time of year to sow them, and at that time of year we have the heating on in our home. You could also use a heated propagator to maintain the temperature at this stage. Heat is a catalyst in so many reactions, and in horticulture it is often an important trigger to a dormant seed that the season has come for it to burst into life. As many banana plants have tropical origins the addition of heat will emulate the environment that they are adapted to. Some people choose to scarify their seeds to break away some of this tough seed coat. Usually this is done by rubbing an area of the tough seed coat with sandpaper. Be careful not to cause damage to the seeds internal structure, when scarifying you are just breaking down a patch of the tough outer seed coat to allow water in. One theory for doing this is that it emulates the process by which the seed coat is dissolved and broken down in the process of digestion when an animal has eaten the banana fruit. Following this idea, some people also soak banana seeds in orange juice because the acidity will break down the seed just as the acids in a stomach would. For me, soaking the seed in warm water has worked well for the species I grow. Bananas are fast growing and hungry plants so rich compost and good sized pots will help you grow healthy banana plants. To pot on your seedling into their individual pots plant them at the same height that they were growing at originally. Gently firm the compost around the plant's roots and give the new pot a generous amount of water. Your newly potted banana plants will grow quickly if kept somewhere bright and warm. Ensure the soil is kept moist and after about 4 weeks begin feeding your banana plants with a high nitrogen feed. Liquid seaweed or chicken manure pellets are good organic fertilisers. If the weather allows you can move your plants outdoors and allow them to happily grow on. Don't forget, if your plants are tender and you are growing somewhere with cold winters you will need to provide protection to help your plants survive winter.
