I let them dry for about a month, then let them soak in water for a week then plant them in a community pot & let them go...

Fresh seed is the number 1 key.

Freshley cleaned seed will take months to germinate.

Thanks for answers !

I've collected lots of fresh seeds, but i've never germinated these seeds

Some peoples says about variation of temperature during cycle night/day ?

Butia germinate in the boots of the mother palm . I don't bother to germinate many anymore because I can walk down the street & pull hundreds of seedling from the boots of palms...

We try to clean up all the fallen seeds under our Butia odorata. Still, somehow, some seeds get buried under the pinestraw and SCORES of healthy green leaf spikes are always coming up out of the ground. Not sure how long it took them to sprout, but I suspect they are from the year before's fruiting.

Take your pick...
