We often see on the internet how someone plants a banana from the supermarket and gets a beautiful banana tree. Is it possible? A banana bought in a store has black dots in its flesh, which are often mistaken for seeds. Unfortunately, this is nonsense. Planting a banana or the aforementioned black dots will not produce any effects. But are there any bananas with seeds? In countries where we can buy different types of bananas on the market stalls, you can find fruit with seeds. In our stores, pitted bananas are just as undesirable as pitted grapes. I managed to buy small bananas of a different type in an Asian store. Are there seeds in them? Unfortunately, there are none either. Looking for seeds in store-bought fruit is pointless. If we want to grow bananas from seeds, we have to look for them on the internet or from growers. My Musa velutina flowered quite late and its fruit did not have time to ripen. Despite this, you can see how much its fruit differs from those bought in the store. This is definitely the case with table bananas. The fruit is practically just seeds. It is similar with the fruit of Museli lasiocarpa, which has been blooming continuously for several months. Even though the fruit is not ripe, I will try to sow it. I will use permeable, disinfected soil for this. I put the substrate in a bowl and put it in the microwave for about four minutes. In this way I get rid of the eggs and larvae of the fungus gnat, which are a common problem. Now all that is left is to wait.
