... are very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to sprout.
Seeds from rarepalmseeds.com, presoaked for a week then placed individually in very little pot of peat in a mix of agroperlite 30% and peat 70%. Temperature of about 32°C 24h/24h. After 3 weeks 70% already sprout!!!

I recieved 8 seeds and the first 2 seeds germinated after only 5 days. I put them in large petri-dishes (from the laboratory I work for) with special germinating ground and put the petri-dishes on top of my aquarium. The heat from the lamp was turned off automatically at 10 o' clock in the evening and on at 7 o'clock in mornig. So at night there was no additional heat, though my room temperature will not get underneath 21 Celcius. The rest of the seeds, except for two, germinated about a week or two later.
