i started experimenting with treating my seeds, for a couple of weeks before planting, with a ripe banana! i place the seeds in open trays in a box and place a ripe banana and close the box to avoid air flow. the banana releases ethylene gas which causes the seeds to germinate into much more robust plants. i have experimented with this for over 20yrs and it seems pretty much universally effective. the idea came to me when i was using the banana to ripen avocados. i had a time lapse movie like dream of a fruit falling to the ground, rotting, then a young tree sprouting from it. seeds are used to falling to the ground in rotting matter which generates ethylene gas as it warms up. the results are rather dramatic with many plants i have experimented with. | i started experimenting with treating my seeds, for a couple of weeks before planting, with a ripe banana! i place the seeds in open trays in a box and place a ripe banana and close the box to avoid air flow. the banana releases ethylene gas which causes the seeds to germinate into much more robust plants. i have experimented with this for over 20yrs and it seems pretty much universally effective. the idea came to me when i was using the banana to ripen avocados. i had a time lapse movie like dream of a fruit falling to the ground, rotting, then a young tree sprouting from it. seeds are used to falling to the ground in rotting matter which generates ethylene gas as it warms up. the results are rather dramatic with many plants i have experimented with. | ||
