I tried putting them in Luke warm water for three or four days changing water every day and then planting them in cocopeat and sand mix and covering with a zip bag.I have had success always with that.
what kind of sprouting clay do you use? what temperature is your greenhouse? and how wet is the clay in the bag? please advise, my seeds get mold every time, I'm desperate, thank you very much for your advice.
Will this technique work with the Phoenix roebelenii and phoenix canary date palms? I'm having trouble with mold using the zip lock and paper towel method. I will try your way next time and how do you sterilize the dirt?
put my first butia jelly palm 10 seeds in the bag method today and I got loads more types to grow. now cant wait, how long does it take normal to shoot
Right on! A butia can take anywhere from 4 to 10 months or more. Soak in water before putting in baggy. The temperature needs to be consistently warm ... be patient.
Hello great video! I'm over in Tsawwassen and I have 2 palms that have 2 leaves each and are about 6 inches tall. They're in the same pot and I think I should seperate them into their own pots but I hear they don't like to be disturbed and I sure don't want to kill them! What is the best way to transfer to a bigger pot? Thank you!
Palms do not mind root disturbance. Transplant into a 1" in size bigger pot ... or next size up. Use good soil ... be sure not to cover the trunk with soil. Cheers. Tsawwassen has great palms!
Easy to transplant palms at any size or age. I have moved dozens of big palms over the decades and the biggest ones I use an excavator and crane truck. Have lots of videos of me moving them on my YT channel. Cheers
Yes I have grown them from seed. You need to dehull them first. Must be patient with them once planted. Takes up 4-6 months. Keep lightly moist and warm. Also you can google how long to germinate them. Hope this helps. thanks
So I just moved to Long Beach Mississippi. I want to try to grow the palm that we have in our back yard. She is stunning!!! I noticed that there were a few babies under her... I gently dug them up and potted them, in really well drained soil with i tiny bit of compost but mostly coco choir, vermiculite and perlite... i also added a small amount of fertilizer for palms, I put 3 per 1 gallon pot, and did 3 pots, and put them in the greenhouse they all have only 2 leaves so far... Can anyone here tell me what I can expect? How quickly will they grow? How often should I fertilize? Thanks for any advise.
After about 3 years of growth, the growth will be more significant. Fertilize once a year ... if you notice yellowing in fronds that is a sign they need some fertilizer (or you may have oversaturated with water)
I have 12 bottle palm seeds and I 'M using the baggy method ...what about the watering...will u please tell me if there is some small watering needed during germination process or i have to watering this every 2-3 odd days intervals...plz comment on that...
@@GulfIslandRock thanks for your help sir...but as of now for me, it is hard to find pittmoss here... can i use cocopeat instead of pittmoss or any other alternatives...plz help me on that...
i need some help. I planted them. I might of forgot to peel them. Its been 2 months and they havent germinate. Ive seen people Have them sprout within 10 days. Im now confused and worried they wont sprout.
This method works for me too, easy and clean for doing indoors. If the seeds are fresh, the germination percentage will be pretty high. I realized that the temperature is very important. For trachycarpus and sabal species too high temperature will cause problems. So if the summer is hot like in my area, it's better to germinate them indoors during this season. Above 30C they didn't germinate for me.
severn tropics . Depends on the species. Trachycarpus doesn't like the high temperatures during the germination phase, but Nannorrhops needs extreme high temperatures.
I have germinated pretty much every hardy species of palm seeds using the baggy method from Jubaea chilensis, R.hystrix to Nannorrhops both forms Green and silver. It seems to work pretty good for most palm seeds. I have also germinated lots of tropical species this way over the years. Easy to do it in the baggy.
Since I’m in the US, I’m having a tough time tracking down Sunshine Mix or Pro-Mix HP without buying in bulk and paying ridiculous shipping. Is there a similar soil that can be purchased at a retailer in the US, like Home Depot or Lowes?
when mixing up your potting soil you can add just a little. The baggy method will be sealed closed and keep moisture in. (make sure it is lightly moistened not damp ... your soil mixture.)
+dora harris Hi Dora Yes make sure root is down. That is the root coming out of the seedling. Best Wishes Planting and Growing! Thanks for watching and liking!
Mix a little hydrogen peroxide in water and use to moisten the sprouting medium. I don't remember the ratio look it up, but that works for me. No fungus at all.
Hi There, this video is very informative. I received three "coco palm" palm seeds. I am going to try the baggy method. If you refer to the moisture content, I assume its not totally wet, but only damp. I germinate them in as mixture of 80% peat moss and 20 perlite. Please advise
Hi when using the method you used to germinate the seeds in zip lock bag and soil and once sealed do you have to add anymore water to keep the moisture in over time or is it good to go just keep bag sealed till the seeds sprouts ?
Kids Can... Protect the Environment! Dear sir We believe that children are our future. At Happy Valley Earth’s Kids we believe that children are our future. Their creativity, values, and choices will shape our society and create waves of impact that may some day be felt all over the planet - perhaps for centuries to come. It's up to us help them make that impact a positive one. Alan Titchmarsh has agreed to volunteer some of his time to our project which could be televised in due course. All sponsors will receive recognition either televised or in local press.We work with children, directly and through the materials on our website, to teach them to value themselves, the environment, and their connection to all living things. An important part of our focus is to help young people understand the power that they possess to do good, and to connect them with opportunities to get involved with important causes and volunteer their time to help with issues in their community and abroad. But we are also especially passionate about the need to get kids back out into nature! The emphasis of the EK KIDS CLUB is on connecting kids with positive experiences with nature and wild spaces through fun and informal family activities. A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that kids who spend more time in nature are healthier, more mentally focused, and happier! And we also know that kids who love and value nature are more likely to grow up to be adults who value and safeguard wild spaces and wild creatures. Our program seeks to help families connect with nature and wild spaces. To learn more about this, and about how you can start a local chapter, Finally, we know that right now world events are setting the stage for the challenges our children will face as adults, and for the quality of life they will enjoy, or endure. So we at Earth’s Kids are committed to networking with educators, scientists, activists, and other community leaders to share information, take action, and positively shape the world that our children will inherit. We hope you will join us. Being a living part of the Earth, we cannot harm any part of her without also harming ourselves We must all see ourselves as part of this Earth, not as an enemy from the outside who tries to impose his will on it. Here at Earth's Kids KIDS CLUB We strive to promote awareness and encourage children learn more about our Horticulture the environment and it's various habitats. This is also where they can beguine to learn how to take action to make the world a better place for all the creatures we share this Earth withWe would like to ask for your support and donation , we desperately need your help EDIT - plant suppliers - garden suppliers to EDIT Please donate what ever you can to our ongoing project.

hi there, I have 2 Mexican palms and my 16 year old tree just seeded. I'm going to try this in my greenhouse and in my house. we get to about 27 degree in the winter and summers can get to 102. the Mexican palms grow here. this is the first year my palm ever produced . does that mean that my palm is ready to expire?
+Marsha Balderrama Washingtonia robusta sprout like weeds and you won't have a problem at all. They also love the heat. Your palm will be producing seed for many long years after we are long gone . Cheers
