... are very easy to germinate and need up to 3 months to sprout.
I recieved my seeds from rarepalmseeds.com the first week in April 06. I soaked them in warm boiled water for 3 days, placed in the airing cup-board, I then placed them in a ziplock bag with a mixture of peat and pearlite and left once again in the airing cup-board until the weather outside got warmer(approx end of May). They were transfered to individual pots of just peat, the seeds placed flat side down and lightly covered so you could see the shiny top of the seed, watered with warm pond water and placed in an unheated propagator. The seeds were then placed on the top shelf in my shed(I think I have a magic shed all my seeds seem to germinate in there) no extra heating was supplied, temperatures fluctuated between 45F at night up to 103F daytime between June and July. If the pots felt light they were watered with pond water and misted if felt weighty but the tops looked a bit dry. They were taken down and inspected on 30th July and all but one has the top of a thick tap root showing, they are now out of the shed to supply more light.

... sind sehr leicht zu keimen und benötigen bis zu 3 Monaten zum Keimen.
Ich gab die Samen in die bewährten Gefrierbeutel mit feuchten Kokosfasern. Auf der Fensterbank bekamen sie tagsüber ordentlich Wärme ab, während sie in der Nacht normaler Zimmertemperatur ausgesetzt waren. Nach 1,5 Monaten waren 7 der 10 Samen gekeimt.
