I'm really excited because I just germinated 8 R. xerophila seeds in the past 2 weeks. These are the first Ravenea seeds I've been able to germinate. Are they remote or adjacent germinators? So far, I'm not sure. They are large seeds so I put each one in its own 1g pot. Is that enoough for a while? Are they as root-sensitive as Bizzies or a bit more forgiving?

I put all of them out in the blazing sun. It is oppressively hot & humid now with rainy season coming on. Can these seeds tolerate that much moisture on a daily basis for the next 4 months without rotting? I know they are S-L-O-W growing so I want to give them ever chance to survive.
