Seeds from this species ...... are very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to sprout.
I was very lucky to obtain about seeds 20 from this beautiful palm. I live in the Netherlands and palms like this don't grow in our climate. I picked them fresh from a tree in a glasshouse. The fruit smells really great and I read that it's eddible. I removeved the fruit and cleaned them thoroughly with a brush. The seeds look exactly like a little coconut, only a lot smaller. Then I soked them for three days in water, refreshing the water twice a day. After soking I planted them in deep pots, half burried. After only 4 weeks allmost all of the seeds had a little white bump showing in one of their 3 pores. I was amazed that such large seeds germinated in so little time!

...difficult to germinate and need up to 6 months to
sprout.
Soaked for about a week, changing water daily, then bagged in Junglegrowth/Miracle Grow mix. Kept in a large
container with heating pad to maintain warmth. Almost five months along and no results yet. Seeds seemed fresh,
so will continue.

This like most of the Syagrus species have no special requirement for germination. Soak for up to 14days changing
the water daily. All ten have germinated with two of them having been placed insitu and of course are the fastest
ones growing.Just follow basic germinating practises
