Unique competence: Pushing a Bananier from a Banana
If you like bananas and want to add a tropical touch to your home or garden, why not try to grow a banana from a simple banana? This unique skill may seem mysterious at first, but with the right steps and a little patience, you could soon see a banana grow.
Steps to follow:
- Buy a Banana: To start, you will need a ripe banana, preferably organic. Make sure that it is ripe because it means that the seeds inside are ready to germinate.
- Get the Seeds: Gently open the banana and remove the seeds from the inside. They will look like small black grains.
- Prepare the ground: Choose a pot with good drainage and fill it with a mixture of soil and compost. Banana trees need rich, well drained soil to grow.
- Plant Seeds: Plant the seeds in the soil evenly. Cover them slightly with soil and water gently.
- Place the Pot at Hot and Light: Banana seeds need heat and light to germinate. Place the pot in a bright and warm place, but avoid direct sunlight.
- Keep the soil humid: Make sure to keep the soil moist but not wet. Seeds need moisture to germinate successfully.
- Patience and Observations: The first shoots should start to appear in a few weeks. Be patient and keep watching the growth of your banana tree.
- Transplant the Bananier: Once your banana tree has grown and developed a few leaves, you can transplant it into a larger pot or directly outside in a warm climate.
