...easy to germinate and need up to 3 months to sprout.
Easy to germinate but takes time, seeds were soaked for 3 days in water, water was changed every day, a mix
from sand, peat moss and vermeculite was used 1:1:1. First seed germinated after approx. one month, then few
ones started to show up accordingly. Proess of Germination kept going on for almost a year now and still I notice
new germinations take place for the rest of the seeds. About 1000 seeds were planted can't tell the percentage
of success as I planted it in a very big pot, this make it hard to count but generally talking, a considerable
number have shown up above the soil with glory! I placed the pot in a sunny spot and covered it with a plastic
sheet, take the sheet off in the very hot days in order to avoid over heating. I keep the mixture always damp
by keeping a good eye on it every day and spraying it if needed water. I used anti fungus twice so far by putting
in irrigation water, systemic kind was used. Very interesting palms but need care and patience
