Great to see them germinating for you and Wes. I just got back from Mexico and have my C.royals soaking right now. It should be interesting to see their growth rate.

Yea, I knew better than have myself try to pop these. I asked the Germination KING to do mine for me 😆
These were SOOOOO important to me that I didn't want them to go down like most of my germination experiences. Althou I AM getting better using Steve's 100% Perlite method.

Wes I just spoke with Steve and and I am sorry to report that your seeds did not make it. SORRY for your loss. LOL
Seriously, I am not sure you could do any better than having Steve germinate seeds for you. Good job.

This is one of my favourite palms.
Good luck in growing them. Well worth the effort.
