It seems 25-30C is the average temp used. I looked quick, and didnt see anyone mention any times before a month.... Patience young padawan 😀

soak the seeds

in tepid water

Good; as I usually do that for all palm and cycad seeds, removing all traces of fruit pulp.
And Jubaea, you're fortunate to be able to go out and collect fresh seeds! 😀

I might also gently rub the hard outer coat with very fine sandpaper, just to help moisture soften the shell.
(Can't leave well enough alone, can I?)

Jesse, thanks. I always check the RPS germination comments first thing, generally quite a range of advice.
...oh, and for calling me young 😛

Now if only the seeds would arrive in the mail... :bounce:
The first test of patience!
