Had some good success germinating Trachycarpus F, Butia O, Washingtonia R and Brahea A. I am just trying my luck at Jubaea C. These were the first two to germinate via the baggy method. The one on the right did not look so great and did not appear to have any root. After potting them both up though that one is growing the fastest. Hope a root does grow. Paul. Welcome Paul I have heard Jubaea seeds are hard to germinate ...congrats...never done it myself but I have a little baby one... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul_T 24 Report post Posted February 15, 2016 Thanks for the replies. I have definitely caught the palm tree bug and having fun germinating seeds and trying different methods. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pal Meir 5,251 Report post Posted February 23, 2016 H. verschaffeltii is growing on calcareous soils in full sun. I would leave the seedling indoors, but it depends on the temps you have. A well draining mineral rich standard mix would be okay, I think. It should not be too acidic. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I too guess that it is not a Rhopaloblaste. It looks more like a Dictyosperma or so. The reddish margins may be distinctive.
