... are easy to germinate and need up to 6 months to sprout.
Fresh seed can be sprouted within 3 months . This genus require a long time of germination . Soak them in water for 2 days and used fungi power at the last to improve germination pecentage . Plastic-bag technique if good for this palm seed because the seed is quite small and needs high humidity and temperature . Peat moss is perfect choice for used as germination media .

...easy to germinate and need up to 3 months to sprout.
Seeds were placed in a sandwich baggie along with damp vermiculite. Left of top of the refrigerator. 11 out
of 11 seeds germinated in 2 months.

...very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to
sprout.
In damp medium of 50% perlite and 50% vermiculite at 25-30C more than half the seeds germinated within 3 weeks.
These remote germinators are as easy as Arenga engleri, but the seedlings are slow growers and first leaves
can take months after germination to produce a leaf.

...easy to germinate and need up to 6 months to sprout.
I started with 10 seeds and 9 sprouted. It took between 2-4 months for all the seeds to sprout, a bug drilled
into the tenth seed and ate the endocarp. It took 5 months until I saw a leaf and that was one seedling, 6 months
later and the others still haven't popped above the soil line.

...easy to germinate and need up

I soaked the seeds for 3 days in warm water. I put the seeds in
a 2 litre ice-cream tub filled with palm peat. The seed should be
just covered by the peat. I then floated the tub in a fishtank that
stays at a constant 32c. The first seeds germinated within two weeks,
the rest all within 6 months. Seedlings need constant warmth otherwise
growth is very slow. Once they are roughly 15cm tall they can be
moved to a cooler location without much fuss.
