...easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to sprout.
Easy to germinate, I found that they are quite prone to rotting, and care must be taken. They really need potting
on straight after germinating with careful watering they slowly put on leaves. Subsequent growth is slow.

The seeds are soaked in water (+/- 25 °c) for 2 days, you have to replace water twice a day. After place
seeds in a zip lock bag fill with 50/50 sand- perlite (of vermiculite) medium. gentle pour 2- 4 tablespoon of
water for 500 Ml of medium. Place in warm room (24-30 °c) max. first germination occurs in 6 week. then
place the germinated seeds into individual pot deep enough and filled with well drained medium (3/3/3 sand,
manure, peat of ground).

Put 10 seeds in bag with coco hum and kept on top of fridge. Temperature there ranged from (20) 25 to about
40 °C (it was a very hot summer). First two seeds germinated after about 4 months, just got another two
now after 5 and a half months. Last six still unchanged.

seeds began to sprout after three weeks.

...easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to sprout.
Purchased about 500 Trachycarpus Oreophilus seeds and within a month approximately half of them had germinated,
almost 80% germination by the end of the second month and the remaining few are coming up now. I soaked the
seeds in a 10% bleach -90% Water solution for about 1/2 an hour and then let the seeds soak in 100% water for
about 3-4 days. Water was changed daily and was left at an ambient temperature. Did a shake and bake with the
seeds in a bag with about six different kinds of fungicide ( including Benomyl etc..) and then placed the seeds
on top of a sterile damp medium made of 50% Perlite and 50% Peat sealed them in a plastic tupperware container
approximately 18 centimeters (10 inches) deep - good seal is important or you run the risk of getting those
irritating fungus gnats flying all over the house and having their seed eating babies all over your seedlings.
T.Oreophilus has the tendency to bury itself deeply, so make sure that the medium is not too moist or the root
will rot.
