100% seed germination

[Got Palms]

I had 100% germination using this little green house for germinating seeds, the green house comes with a heating pad easy to use comes with these round slugs that swell when water added place seeds on top and add water about once a week, all seeds germinated in about 5 weeks. 5 Foxy lady seeds thanks Justin and Derik for the quality seeds and 96 Chamaedorea Radicalis Tree form from one of my palms and 20 Chamaedorea tepejilote also from one of my palms!

I have also had great results using that product. good job!

I'm a big fan of my old heat mat for seed starting on all tropicals. Great job with 100%!

Your welcome for the seeds. We haven't ever germed any of that seed yet. Keep us posted.

[DALION]

Great job on the germination rate but with a garden like yours we all know you have a green thumb or two.

Derek, ours may be sprouting by now if Sergio's are... check the ones i planted under the table...

i have used that same product for plumeria seedlings. I gave up on palm seedlings along time ago.

Wish I could report success like yours. Out of 10 seeds I have only two sprout and one died. Mine were from the second batch of seeds from JD

Dont give up yet. These seeds may take up to a couple months to germinate. We have 100% germination as of now. What are your germination methods? Make sure your germination soil isnt staying too wet!

Thats a very nifty little desk top propagator think I would like one next to my computer. Does it reach into the upper 80's %, for me that is important?

I have large aluminium (5foot x 4) pads with thermostat and probe. I found initially and much to my anger these didn't reach the desired temps given by the manufacturer so the manufacturer then made the mats up again from scratch with stronger cables and now they are in the range as it were. With the digital thermostat lowering or especially raising the temp for things like Wodyetia its possible to speed up the germination but primarily the shoots so it happens more or less at the same time. Just thinking of ordering a batch of Normabya normanbyi seed but wondering how fresh it is out there in RPS anyone ordered any recently?

Ziplock bag with a few cups of damp peat moss, outside in a shady spot. With the cold weather coming at end of the week should I bring them inside?

Yes, bring inside. I've placed seed containers on top of my water heater before. If the bottom of the seed container makes good contact with the heater, it will keep it fairly warm. I wouldn't recommend baggie method with these. Just plant 1/2 inch deep in standard potting soil and keep moist, not wet. Needs to be around 75-95deg F. Outside in the shade is not warm enough...

So I have had great success with the seeds after taking yalls advice. Placed the remaining seeds on top of my water heater in the garage. Thus far 7 of 10 seeds germinated. Go figure follow good advice and it works.

Great to hear Chavez!

Here is a quote and pic from our Australian customer 4 days ago:

"58 out of 60 have germinated!

Excellent!"
