Afyer eating dates, I threw the 6 seeds on a big pot where I have other palms, inside the house, and I discovered that the new palm sprouts comes from those seeds. I didn't even put soil on them or anything. Now I'm excited :)
When I was in 3rd grade I was at a playground, apparently someone dumped a dates palm previously and I found a few sprouts, so I took one home , it was the size of a pinky finger, now 16 years later it still gives sweet sweet dates, although I planted it in the wrong side of the house, the dates go dry and hollow too quickly, the best picking window is only one week and we always miss it
Can you send plant photo on WhatsApp pls. My no 9448367839. I have four plants just 3 months old. Want to know what sort of soil you have grown the plant?
Thanks for the tutorial, it really works. I bought dates from the supermarket, ate the fruit and rescued the seeds. After one month in the paper towel the roots are about 2 cm long! I will plant them once I get enough pots and collect the mixture of soil that the date palm prefers.
Never grow date palm from seeds! 1. Date palms do not come true to type. 2. At least 50% will be male. 3.Takes some 10 years before you see your disappointment.
I actually got a date palm to grow from dates I purchased at a store. I lasted for over 2 years before someone asked me for a favor and I allowed them to take it. It is still going 3 years later.
If you cover the pots with plastic wrap (use a rubber band to hold it in place), you'll see sprouts a lot faster. Also, once spouted, remember not to water too much. They grow in hot, dry places like Arizona.
I have a chili plant and a few months ago shen I ate a date, I planted it in my chili plants pot. I thought it didn’t work until a few weeks ago when I saw a weird leaf growing in the soil amongst a tomato plant that I had also planted their. I could not figure out what kind of plant It was so I googled today and found out it was a date palm:) yay

I planted 4 of them 3 months ago straight into a container & one of them sprouted a root,the others got eaten out by some kind of borer. It sprouted a root after about a month of being planted & I thought that it may have died,it had a green tinge on the root so I left it alone. What do you know ? This morning I checked it & a white shoot has emerged from the mix,I googled it up & what I've found out is that the root naturally point to the direction that it detects moisture then burrows into the mix that its planted in. So,a shoot has "teed off" from the taproot which should send off green leaves soon,I think that it has taken that long because the weather has cooled down since April,note that I read that it can take up to 100 days for them to sprout,I have placed them in the sun outdoors. I have 4 more planted but I'm not sure if the cooler winter temperatures will affect their germination because they are forecasting a temperature range of 16-19°C during the day & down to 4-5°C overnight. Note the way to plant them straight into a container is to place the blunt end into the mix then have the sharp end poking out so the top half remains dry.
Good advice here: pick the ripe dates and put them in the freezer and unfreeze them before eating them, the flesh becomes juicy and the skin peels off easy, and you won't taste the bitterness if there was any before the freezing
I have have done the whole seed thing and planted. Now I have one really long skinny palm about 12 inches long. It is starting to sag on it's own weight so I have a few sticks for support. There are no other palm leafs yet. Wondering if this is normal or do I need to do something else to encourage growth. I am growing indoors for about 3 months now.
Thank you so much for the fantastic video with pleasant music :) I am going to eat a few more and give it a whirl. I am in central NY (Syracuse area). Will these grow outdoors and survive winters? If not Ill grow these sweeties indoors. Looking forward to replies! TY!
Thanks! :) You might be able to keep them outside if you cover them up with something protective when it gets cold, but theres still a risk they die if it gets too cold. Some individual palms are less tolerant to cold than others even if they are of the same species, so you can't guarantee it will survive cold weather even if the species generally should. You could also keep it outside during summer and inside during winter, but then you have to keep in mind that drastic changes to climate (like humid air outside and dry air inside) can cause stress to the palm. I hope this somewhat answers your question, otherwise you are welcome to ask more! :)
But in some places like Middle East they don’t planting the seeds because it takes too much time and you don’t know if they will be males or females so they plants the small palms that they grow up around the mother palm so when it become ready they cut it from the roots and take it to another place to grow up but in the first month of the planting they die for two months or one and a new sprouts grow up
I put my seeds on a wet piece of kitchen paper which was folded to fit inside a zip-lock bag. I could then observe the seeds at all times. I placed the bag on top of our fridge and they started sprouting in about three or four days. (We live in Japan so it is quite hot just now). The roots are now 1-2cm long and I plan to pot them tomorrow.
@@zeeshanahmed_ I potted the seeds about two weeks ago and I already have tiny sprouts showing above the compost mix. They are only about 2cm at the moment but fingers crossed I will have five or six date palms to give to friends and one for inside my house. I have one in the ground outside but it dies back in our cold winter. Planning on moving it indoors this year.
No very bad information. Never grow date palm from seeds! 1. Date palms do not come true to type. 2. At least 50% will be male. 3.Takes some 10 years before you see your disappointment.
I am new to this but I investigated a lot and the best thing is to keep it in direct sunlight,in the window maybe and a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius
It will take several years before the date palm produces fruit, usually minimum 5 years. A warm climate will help alot. There are also female and male date palms, and only a female palm will produce fruit. The procedure is quite complicated, so I suggest reading more about it if you really want to produce fruits.
oh ok :) i had taken from Date seed From eatable dates So no clue about male or female , Sure thanks for your help friend , here its Hot some times & can it survive saline water ??
yeh i usually give nice water sometimes Saline water comes i pour it some of the leaves just lose its shine but mostly it gets normal water & rainwater
My date plant is about 6 months old. When I repotted it I accidently broke the stem that connects to the date seed it self, will my plant die? My date plant has a nice root system so I hope its going to live 😥
Hard to be sure without seeing it in real life, but to me it sounds like it will be fine. If it has a nice root system it should be doing fine without the seed :)
