Germination of this common palm depend of freshness of the seeds. I have good resultats withs seeds I collect
: I put 20 seeds in a good mixture (without soaking) in a nursery where the temperature is about 25°C; 3

6 of 10 germinated within 3 weeks of sowing. Soaked in warm water for 3 days then sowed in cocopeat with heat
source below in tray sized greenhouse. When seeds started to dry out I sprayed them with an organic fungicide.

Very easy to germinate 1 to 2 months; I used a ziplock bag with a 40 60 perlite spagnum mix. soaked seeds in
water for a day or two. I rinsed with fungicide spray placed in bag with mix. Mix sould be wet but not dripping,
squeeze excess water. Take care in transplanting, I have had success with 2 inch pots as well as 1.5 inch cone
trays.

I soaked seeds in luke warm water for 19 hours, after soaking I sowed them in peat moss, temperature was above
95°F/35°C. It took the first seed 17 days to come up, seedling growth is very fast.

...easy to germinate and need up to 6 months to sprout.
very slow grower but worth the money. I soaked 6 seeds for a week and planted them in a aluminum tray in desert
sand. I sprayed it with water 2 times every week. I dug them up every week to see how they were doin, this i
think was my mistake. after 5 months, the first shoot came up, im still waiting for more.

Place seeds in a pan, pour hot water (steaming, but not boiling) on the seeds. after 24 hours drain and refill
with cold water after another 24 hours drain and coat with fungicide (I use "captain"). Use a 28 quart
rubbermaid container with 50% peat moss and 50% playsand and 1 gallon of water. Place up to 500 seeds into container,
spreed them out evenly and press down into the soil (the tops of the seed can be showing). Place lid on container
and store at 80 to 90 deg F. Hurry up and wait 3 to 4 months. remove cover and place in lighted area when seedlings
are touching the lid. More seeds will germinate as the months go on. Seedlings do almost nothing for a year
or 1-1/2 year then burst into growth.

This was the very first palm I grew from seed. I bought a packet of about a half dozen seeds and just put them
outside in a pot of normal potting compost. Not realising at the time that palms could be slow in germinating,
I reused the compost after a while for some other plants. Then three of the seeds subsequently germinated. One
specimen, now about 5 years old has survived in a pot outside, but the others died overwinter. Here in Toulouse
the winters are not usually severe, but there is normally one week per year when the temperature falls to -10
or lower. A couple of years ago I realised that these plants grow wild near the Mediterranean coast in Spain,
so on one of my summer visits I collected some seed. I put these immediately into pots, one seed per pot, in
the late summer and they germinated within a few weeks. The seedlings have survived outside since then although
last winter was cold enough to kill a mature Pheonix canariensis in a neighbour's garden.
