i recently got the opportunity to get some fresh palm seeds. I am not sure if they are ripe, but i am willing to try and grow them. I have chamedorea erumptens, caryota mitis, and also some bright red coffe fruits and as well as some very small croton seeds. Any info on if i have to clean them, or dry then etc would be great. Thanks guys
Here are some pages you may find helpful: Palm Seed Preparation (and lots of more info, scroll about halfway down) Growing Coffee at Home By the way, if you're looking to actually grow edible coffee eventually...well, to simply put it - it probably won't happen ;) But a small plant for show is pretty nice. As for the croton seeds, they're best grown by cuttings, seeds are very time consuming and so on. Good Luck!
Hi There I just ate dates in my garden one day and put the seeds onto a flowerpot which was growing something else at the time. I did not clean them. To my astonishement I had 100% germination! Now I have about 30 date palms at various hights depending on the size of the pots they are growing in. I wonder if the palms you have got will be the same? I have written about them on here if you care to look at my postings. Regards Mike Anders
