Seeds from this species ......very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to
sprout.
Treat these like cacti in order to germinate, not palms. Surface sow, or press lightly into the surface of a
good seed compost (I use a soil based one for these types of seed). Water with a fungicidal solution and enclose
the pot in a sealed bag. Keep at approx 75 - 85 Deg F. VERY IMPORTANT **DO NOT EXCLUDE LIGHT**. They will start
to geminate within 7-9 days and most will be up within the month. Once they are large enough to handle they
can be potted up individually in a gritty compost. This advice seems to work for all Nolina and Beaucarnea species.

...easy to germinate and need up to 6 months to sprout.
This species is not different from other agavaceae/nolinaceae. it will germinate well, giving good heat, sowing
them supreficially in an open try with a sandy soil. Seeds need to be covered with a thin layer of sand and
kept moist, but not overwatered.

Ratings and comments reflect individual experiences and the views of our visitors. They do not necessarily describe the most
appropriate methods, nor are they necessarily valid for all seeds or plants of this species. Germination and plant cultivation
success depends on many different factors; nevertheless, these experiences will hopefully aid you in your effort to get the
best germination results from our seeds and the best growth results from your plants.
