Item: Musa velutina

Good luck with that I had 50 of them not a single one sprouted. I got mine from ebay. Perhaps they were old... I waited months for them to sprout. nada...

Ya banana seeds are hit or miss with me too.... Ive had the best luck with musella

Banana seeds: If you have a heat mat put it on a timer so that it goes off at night. The fluctuation in temperature seems to be the key with stubborn bana seeds.

That's quite the order, Jesse. 😀

Archontophoenix are gorgeous palms.
Exceptionally beautiful ringed trunks.

Thanks for remembering that my L.grandis croaked. :compress:

Youre right paul. Mine did best outside in the summer. The temps are something like 90F during the day and 75-80F at night as a general rule. The best thing is make sure theyre fresh

Barb ive been waiting for the C microspadix for the last year. They werent available for a long time. Well see my luck on the L grandis

Jesse, and I was going to send you some seeds of the Bamboo Palm.
But I didn't do the "brush" thingy, so doubt they would've been viable.

One year will get around to that...

Barb

ah yeah i remember that 🙂 there are a few chamedorea that are called bamboo palm. siefrizii and kicrospadax are the two main ones. i think macrospadax might be as well. there is also another one which i cant remember.. i have seeds for c. seifrizii. theyve been sown for a year which is ky normal luck for palms. lol.

seeds for c. seifrizii. theyve been sown for a year

Nope, they're reasonably fast germinators.
I'd toss 'em.

Barb

Nice list Jesse.........I have a ton of seeds going now too. Mostly big leaf Rhodos but also some Magnolias, Yuccas, Aloe and a Moso bamboo.

I have a fridge full of seeds. Hickory, hosta, magnolias, fringe tree...... Havnt done a real good palm order in a while. Moso should do pretty well in mass. I know a guy who grows it near roschester new york, near the south shore of lake erie. Gets burned a bit in the winter but I dont think its had any major top kill. Just protect it for the first winter or two. Bend it down and use U shaped stakes to hold t down. Snow should do the rest. IF not just toss some leaves on. Moso is pretty hardy once it gets some size.

Barb, thats just my usual luck for seeds. I should take em outta the bag and soak test them again to see whats up. I have a bag of dypsis albofarinosa that have been taking forever too, but some dypsis species can take a bit.... Just more of what im used to when it comes to palm and banana seed lol.

Yeah, some are very very slow germinators.
Bamboo palm isn't one of them. 😆

Good luck popping your new stuff.

I can hope barb LOL.... it is my usual luck so im optimistic 😀
