- Just this past year I've started Giant Bird of Paradise & Passion Fruit.
- Granted I did it during the summer while it was warm (hot actually!), but
- I live in the Phoenix area where the humidity is QUITE low. So, from
- experience, it doesn't take a lot of humidity to germinate them. Looks
- like there have been several other posts on how too keep them warm. It
- takes quite a while to germinate the Passion Fruit, the Birds of Paradise
- even longer (they are the black seeds with an orange fuzzy on it right?)
- and the banana I have no idea. So don't give up if the seeds don't
- sprout as soon as they hit the soil! Good luck.

- Kevin
