...easy to germinate and need up to 3 months to sprout.
I 've put 10 seeds in a good mixture in differents pots. The temperature was 15-30°C, the first have germinated
in 1 month, others followed. In 3 month I have 8. Livistona muelleri germination does not deserve its reputation
for erratic germination.

...very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to

A total of 98 seeds out of a quantity of 114 sprouted readily at an incubation temperature of approximately
85 degrees in a single tray of an inexpensive Kitchen Crop sprouter - all in a period of 8 days. The remaining
16 seeds continue to look viable and may or may not develop further. Seeds were presoaked in warm water at approximately
80 degrees for three days with daily water changes. After showing unmistakable signs of germination, each individual
developing seed was placed in a separate 3X3X5 inch "liner" container filled with a 50/50 perlite/peatmoss
mixture prepared with a moisture content of approximately 30-35%. The "liners" are kept in a 80-85
degrees environment and a spot check of six containers have revealed healthy and vigorous continuing root development
of what are likely to become healthy seedlings in just a few more days.
