Cyrtostachys renda 🌱 Soak seeds in warm water for 2 days. Sow 1cm deep within moistened sphagnum (or a prepared mix of 75% vermiculite : 25% fresh compost) and keep at 32°C (90°F). Maintain moisture. A heated propagator is ideal. Non-heated propagators can be placed within direct sunlight in a warm room to trap in heat and humidity. Germination usually occurs within 2-3 months, but like all palm seeds some may take over 6 months.
