...very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to sprout.
Seeds were ordered from Rarepalmseeds and 4 of ten ordered were already germinating upon arrival. The remaining six were soaked in warm water for one day before being treated to a ten minute bath in copper fungicide liquid, then placed 3/4 of the way down in a mixture of 50% Canadian peat moss and 50% perlite. The entire mix was contained in a black nursery pot (3 gal/12 L) and left in the sun during the summer in Central Florida. Germination of the other six occurred within two weeks. Of the total ten that germinated, five quickly died of damping off. The other five are rather quick growers and have shown good tolerance to prolonged cold (above freezing) temperatures.
