Palm seeds

Sowing the “Chamaerops Excelsa “ or “Trachycarpus Fortunei”

STEPS:

1. Remove the external layer of the seed. How?

  1. a. Put the seeds in a sack and hit it until you break the rind, and after that remove it under some water.
  1. b. Use a file.

2. Clean the seeds by soaking them in warm water for a minimum of three days. Change the water when it becomes cloudy.

3. Sow the seeds in flowerpots even if they still have not started to germinate. The most used substratum is a mixture of peat with sand (half and half).

Bury gently the seeds, in horizontal position, in the wet substratum. For a quicker germination you will need higher temperatures (between 30 and 35 degrees Celsius).

The seeds don´t need any light to grow, they only need heat, humidity and patience.

4. When the seeds deliver the first leaf they should be transferred to bigger flowerpots. They shouldn´t be exposed to direct sunlight immediately but gradually.

5. After 2, 3 or four years in the flowerpot, they can be planted in solid ground. Welcome to the jungle!
