Washingtonia Filifera Germination

Recommended Posts

Hello I was wondering if people could share how they germinate W. Filifera and Robusta seeds, I am wondering what the ideal temperature for germination is, as I have my Filifera seeds in a pot at room temperature with the soil at around 67 F, 2CEF1300-1611-467B-9035-2E6D35ECE99B.thumb.jpeg.049ad7042ceeff7f4523c6032c605930.jpegwill they germinate?

You're going to want a minimum of 72F, but you should probably try for 80 or above.

Hopefully someone else knows the exact temperature range.

They’ll germinate, it just may take longer. There’s no big secret with Washingtonia seeds. They’re prolific germinators. I’ve germinated them in a variety of ways. I soak mine for a minimum of 5 days, changing the water every so often. After 7 or 8 days they may even start germinating in the water. I always get a high percentage of success. I find soaking them for a long time speeds up the process.
