    i have read that you can soak palm seeds in a weak bleach water solution ( i think they said 3 water to 1 bleach ) to make sure no fungus or stuff grows on them.... is this safe for all species?

    I wouldn't use bleach in any consentration, ceratinly not a 3 to 1 ratio anywhere near palm seeds. I've heard of some folks that may put a tbsp (bleach) in a gallon of water for short periods and rinse profusely afterward.

    Cheers, LPN.
