...very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to sprout.
This palm is the easiest palm I have ever grown. I only have seven species, but this one takes the cake. It is so easy to grow that it grows itself. I didn't tend to it at all. I just put it in a pot with moist warm soil, and in about 2 weeks it grew.So for beginning palm growers, this is one easy palm to start with.

the best posible way of the old timers......Dig a 3' deep by 3' square and fill half of it with fresh cut grass from your lawn.then place your seed in 1/4 of it than top it off with fresh cut grass.than cover it up with dirt and keep it damp.the heat generated by the grass will help germinate at a great speeds.must keep cloae attention after the 5th day when sprouting must remoce from the danger of killing them.
