i think they are doing great. they have a "sunlamp" but get afternoon indirect real sun via the window. I water from the bottom. I hope I am doing this all correctly, but seeing as how they are not dead yet I'm assuming so. Any thoughts and how to acclimate them to the outside?

Wait till the leaves start going palmate before taking them outside. A bit of fish fertiliser now and then seems to boost them along, also a monthly dose of liquid seaweed helps to toughen them. They look quite strong and healthy. I have never been able to get any trachycarpus seeds of any species to germinate, despite spending a fortune on them, so well done.

Peachy trachycarpus species germinate very easily in Europe.

Peachy,

I have had difficulties germinating them in Florida too. Yet I got some seeds (oreophilus and nanus) while I lived in Virginia, set them on a counter in baggies, and they germinated in a few weeks. I am convinced that the hot weather here (even inside the house as we dont turn the AC lower than 75 during the summer) doesnt let them germinate as well, hence why all mine that germinated in Florida germinate in December and January. The ones I germinated in Virginia (I didnt use air conditioning once it started warming up) had night time temps in the 50s and daytime temps in the 60's and 70's, with days slowly getting warmer. This produced very good germination results for me.

that would make sense, actually, as mine were germinated in the middle of winter, when it was about 40-50 outside, and 60 or so inside. =]
