I read on rarepalmseeds.com "germination techniques" various comments from people.
90 to 100 F water soaks, 100 F germinating media temps, etc.
One person even poured boiling water over the seeds, rinsed and then dropped the temp.

There are some interesting seed starting techniques listed on that site, regardless of what type of palm.

When one thinks of the countries these palms are from...temps anywhere from 80 to 110 F during seed setting are likely common. We might not have our media hot enough. Mine are back into really warm water.

Hey Barb,

I know, I like reading the different germination techniques people use on Rare Palm seeds.

I think my contraption hoovers a liitle higher during the daylight hours, due to the green house effect.

Those germinating techniques often include two or three seeds that popped within a month or two,
then make reference to the balance of seeds popping after six months to a year 😯

I'm convinced patience is more important than temp.

I missed the follow up on this one. looks great, it should work great for you. I usually wait for a couple of the seeds to germinate before I put them under fluorescent lights to grow a little more before I replant to individual containers.

Good luck.
