Thrinax radiata
Steve, How long did the Thrinax radiata seeds take to germinate. I start some in December and nothing yet.

Wes, ( North Van)
At 30C, had about 60% germination between 4-6 weeks, about 10% more 2 weeks later and still waiting on the rest.
Lazz,
If you have the room..... have a few things to send your way to see how well they do in your climate.
Thanks Don, That's my GH plan this year

Wes, Steve is a freaking MONSTER with seed popping. He was very kind and sent me 10 or so of these very same seeds from the very same batch. I thought I was pretty good at popping. UMMMM, I got THREE to pop and they have not grown a lick since popping. Steve is just the BEST. Use his method and let us know if it is the method or Steve

germinating seeds
I'll add some heat to the baggie and see if they germinate.

Wes,
Some heat should speed these along.
Have been using Sphagnum for a germinating medium, The ones that did not germinate at first were soaked overnight then put back in. this may have helped a little...
A lot of this seems dependant on fresh seed and just plain luck...

oh yeah ..... heat
This is stating the obvious, but one of my New Years resolutions was to state the obvious more in 2007. Since I built my seed starting aparatus (2X4's with christmas lights) my seed germinating luck has sky rocketed. If you seed starters out here want to do one thing to increase your chances for germination .... provide bottom heat to your palm seeds. My seed starting medium stays about 82F.
Kent in Kansas
where it's cold in winter (always)
and hot in summer (usually)

CIDP Growth Rates
That one will be 2 years old this June. Growth really starts picking up once they get past 2-3 strap leave stage.
