Its been a few weeks since i checked up on these and was pleasantly surprised to see a few had germinated. This is my first time germinating this difficult to find species and they are extremely fragile looking and incredibly small. Hopefully a few hundred more will pop up in the next few months.  Also included a close up for @Pal Meir

You certainly germinate some interesting species. Can I ask what the straw is for on top of all your grow cells?

The straw is needed because of our extreme climate.  It cuts out water usage in half and acts as a weedbarrier.

Great news. I never had luck with seeds. It's a beautiful little palm and well worth growing.

Joseph,

congrats for this. Like the method with the straw. Very effective to keep the moisture in the ground.

Keep us updated with some more pictures.

As folks have mentioned make sure you use straw and NOT hay. Straw doesn't contain the seed heads. It's a pretty common practice up north when you lay grass seed for lawns to cover them in straw. In the south (at least) everyone uses sod.
