Ptychosperma Macarthurii

HI!

Yesterday I got fresh seeds from Ptychosperma Macarthurii from Thailand.

For two times I tried them before, but I had no success - do you hafe an information for me how to do????

I cleaned them and watered them for 24 hours ..... and now????? Warm and wet - and pray??? :lol:

Warm and moist should do it. I have them coming up all over my place. Birds and Flying Foxes must be dropping the seeds and they're coming up naturally. Just don't let them dry out or get too cold.

Hello B-moni, I was just thinking of my Ptychosperma macarthurii, they are, for me, the fastest growing palms I have in my shade house (and I even have Carpentaria acuminata!). They're just beautiful palms and germinate fairly quickly if you have fresh seeds. Give them a little bottom heat if you must but I planted them right into a pot. Good Luck, Peter

Hi and thanks! I hope, it will work ....

I hope it is not necessary :drool: that the seeds take the ways through the birds :drool:

Moni, I'm sure that's not necessary. (Not sure if that's what Peter meant "Give them a little bottom heat ...", LOL.) And as Peter said, they grow fast, if you've got them in a warm place. I have more Carpentaria acuminata than any other palm. They're native here, drop thousands of seeds, germinate rapidly and grow fast.

One of the many that have been coming up by themselves (or, maybe just a little help from the birds )

Easy germinaters if seed is fresh. If seed isn't fresh they may not come up at all. Moist 30C should have them up in 4 weeks. An easy grow.

Best regards

OK, OK, thanks! The seeds are really fresh - so it should not be so difficult

I will post the success :rolleyes:
