I had them in the basement under light 12-16 hrs per day. Basement temp was about 65-68*. That could be the problem.

I'll have to start a new batch outside and hope to overwinter them in the basement.

It sucks when the weather buggers the plants up. I had my bananas shredded when we got winds gusting to 50 mph that blew into my sheltered area. They all survived but most of them are sending up their first leaf all over again.

Heres a few of the latest pics. The large & small are the same seed batch. Once you pot them up to the 5 gal pots, they explode... Just have to find room to pot the rest up... lol

They sure are growing.

Now that my greenhouse is up, I will start a few more.

Update as of 7-12-08... I also planted some in the yard.

Allen how are your Papayas doing ? Mine are starting to flower. They are about 8 ft tall now & doing great.

Wow. Have you gotten any fruit yet?

I decided to use the greenhouse to germinate ornamental grasses for the yard and didn't plant more papaya.

All of the existing papayas died on me.

I should have room to try germinating again this winter in the basement.

I have about 20 fruit on the plants now & still flowering like hell.
