Seeds from this species ......very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to
sprout.
Quite less then a month infact. I Received 100 Ravenea xerophila on 05/12/04. I soaked them in 1 gal of water
to 1 oz fungicide for 12 hrs. I put the seeds in sterilized peat after a 1 hour drying period on 05/13/04. Yesterday
on 05/17/04, only 4 days later, I already have had 10% germination (10 seeds).Thank you Toby. I sure appreciate
the time and effort you put into making sure that Rarepalmseeds.com supplies the best quality seeds on the market.
Signed, your friend and loyal customer David.

Very easily germinated seed but also very prone to fungal disease.
Soak for a day in fresh water with some fungicide added. Some seeds
will germinate during this time!Other seeds perish quickly after
this due to fungal growth and temperature does not seem to be a
feature as long as it above 21C (70F)

I took the seeds in an small greenhouse for rooms. On the bottom,
there was a small electric pad for flowers. Between both I laid
an isolation stuff. All that I filled with an anorganic earth" -
small mineral stones and put the seeds on it. On the bottom of the
greenhouse
Submitted by there was always 2 cm of water. When the days were
sunny I
switched of the electric pad. Every day
