...difficult to germinate and need up to 3 months to
sprout.
I have been germinating this palm for years. Many people I've talked to say they are difficult but I have found
they germinate very evenly and suddenly starting at 3 months with "very high heat". This is the key.
They need at least 90F or higher during the day and at least 80F or higher at night. I use community pots with
mixture of half perlite/ half canadian peat moss, and bury them just about 3/4 so the top sticks out. My germination
rate with fresh seed is well over 90% with this method.

...easy to germinate and need up to 6 months to sprout.
Though this species has not an easy germination, I have had a fair result, placing the seeds halfway on moist
sand, in a box with lid, giving plenty of heat. germination has occoured after three months with a rate of 70%

...easy to germinate and need up to 6 months to sprout.
Soak fresh seeds for three days in warm water, thenput in moist peat, seal the top of the pot and place it in
warm location (about 27 - 30 d.C.)Make sure the peat doesn't dry out.First seed germinated after 3 months, last
one - after 5 months.If fresh seeds used, germination rate comes to 60%.
