Easy to germinate, not easy to stop them rotting afterwards! Lots of drainage needed to keep the young seedlings
healthy. I got 19 out of 20 seeds to germinate but lost 9 to rot.

Out of 11 seeds received, 2 germinated at the same time after 1 month of sowing. Standard "baggie"
method, peat and temperature around 20 C. All rest seeds appear good and being kept for further germination.
Seedling growth is very slow.

...easy to germinate and need up to 3 months to sprout.
I recently recieved 1,000 T.nanus seeds from a friend who ordered them from your company. He gave them to me
to germinate. I decided to use the zip-lock baggy method with this species. In each baggy I placed damp peat
moss mixed with perlite. I placed the baggies on the bottom shelves of my greenhouse. I am very pleased with
the results. Within two months the first nanus are sprouting.My greenhouse is quite warm in the day with temps.
sometimes rising into the 40 degree celcius range for short periods. I have many other rare palm species that
came from you, and I am happy with all of them. I look forward in doing business with your wonderful company
in the future. I definately recommend you to other palm enthusiasts that like to grow from seed. Cheers, Banana
Joe

Soaked in water for two days and packed in plastic bags in cocohum. The first one sprouted after six weeks,
put in a pot after seven weeks. The remaining 10 seeds still (after 8 weeks) show no signs of sprouting, are
still being kept at room temperature.

Very quick germination after only one week. I soaked the seeds in warm water for 48 hours and then put them
in a plastic box filled with a mix of peatmoss and coarse sand. The mix has to be well watered. Then I put the
box in another box to keep it dark and put it on top of an radiator about 25-30degrees celcius.
