Germination Notes for Growers
Preparation: Seeds benefit from a 48-hour soak in warm water.
Sowing: Plant seeds 1–1.5 inches (2.5–4 cm) deep in a coarse, well-draining palm mix.
Optimum Temperature: 85–95°F (29–35°C); warm, stable heat is important.
Germination Period: 2–6 months; some seeds may take longer due to natural dormancy.
Notes: Maintain consistent warmth and moderate moisture. Bottom heat significantly improves germination. Patience is essential due to the slow germination and growth rate.
