... are very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to sprout.
I harvested over 200 seeds of the solitaire palm and soaked them for 2 days. After that, I mixed up a soil mixture of dirt, sand, and bark , especially lots of bark, and sand for good drainage.Then I planted them just below the surface and then watered them.About a month later,they started germinating.It seemed like every day more and more germinated. In the end, I had about 90%-95% germination.

After failing to raise the Roystone seeds, I harvested some seeds of Ptychosperma elegans from my brother's compound in Kampala, Uganda. I soaked the seeds for 2 days in luke warm water. I sowed them in a bed. After a month about half had sprouted. I then shifted them to polythene tubes.I was very happy

I self harvested about 100 seeds of this species in Homestead, Florida in December of 2000. After removing all
pulp and fibre from the seeds, they were soaked for three days in warm tap water with daily water changes. No
other pretreatments were used before sowing. The seeds were placed in Sterilite containers in a 50-50 mix of
Canadian peat moss and perlite. Seeds were hand irrigated with tap water when top of mixture seemed a bit dry
(about every two weeks since their container has a lid). Heat was supplied by placing the container in front
of a south facing window (sorry, don't know exactly how warm). I had about 85% germination. First seeds began
germinating after about four or five weeks.
