For successful growth of this banana seed, it is advised to lightly roughen the surface with sandpaper and allow it to soak in room temperature water for 12-24 hours before planting. It is necessary to use specially formulated soil or coconut fiber due to their high permeability. After planting, it is important to keep the soil consistently moist and cover the seed with no more than 1/4 inch of soil.

To enable the quick development of sprouts, plant the seed into a special breeding container to cultivate it and ensure that the temperature in the pot remains around 80 degrees. If cultivation at these temperatures is not possible, the sprouting process may take up to 10 weeks. The container should also be covered up by a transparent cover such as foil or glass but at the same time avoid mould by taking off the cover once every 3 days and letting a little air get to the soil.
