...difficult to germinate and need up to 3 months to
sprout.
Seeds were ordered from Rarepalmseeds. I soaked ten seeds in warm tap water for three days with daily water
changes. The seeds were then placed in a 50-50 mix of Miracle Grow Potting Mix and perlite. I tried to keep
these seeds a bit more moist than most other species given their habitat. Heat was maintained by keeping the
container outside. One seed of the ten germinated. The seedling is a fairly slow grower (like most Arenga),
with the first leaf being entire, and subsequent leaves becoming pinnate. My low germination rate may have been
from too much heat.
