Labeled Germination

Recommended Posts

In the past I :blush: have stolen from other Palmtalkers :mellow: many pics of germinating seeds:greenthumb:. In this thread I present my stolen goods B) to the palmtalking public, asking for forgiveness … :innocent:

Pondering weather to forgive or not... 

I know! Just send me a bag of grabdecor and all is forgiven! :lol:

Just kidding.

Oh and Pal, thanks to your recipe my 3 Syagrus insigne are thriving again!

Thank you so much for your mercy, Kai! :rolleyes: And I’m glad to hear that your L. insigne made it! :greenthumb::)

And of my beloved Cocos weddelliana :wub: I’ll add 2 more photos which are not stolen but honestly taken by myself: :innocent:

You're welcome Pal!

Is that a mixture of cocopeat and seramis for the wedding palm seedling?

As the seedling was planted in a small 8x9cm clay pot I added also Kokohum: 3/5 pine bark + 1/5 Seramis + 1/5 Kokohum. In case of plastic pots I wouldn’t add it.

Forgiven! ;)

I am glad that one of my photos - or at least a part of it - was chosen!:D

Besides it is very interesting to see how the germinating/root developing progress varies from species to species!

Thank you very much for summarizing -

best regards

excellent thread Pal:greenthumb:

I really like how you put text next to the seedlings showing each part of the germination that is taking place.

Today I can present four labeled germinations which are not stolen,:innocent: but a kind donation from @Kai :greenthumb::) which I could play with: :D

Allagoptera leucocalyx, Polyandrococos pectinata, Syagrus botryophora, and Syagrus (Lytocaryum) hoehnei

Thank you Pal, of course a littlebit in my own interest as well as these very informative pictures will be added to my palmy archive.

All these seedlings are now safely potted up in Pal's famous seramis mix and their roots have been comforted a bit with "palmbooster". Time will tell if the effects will turn out the same as for Pal's wonderfull L. insignes.

Great pics and useful information.  I am preparing to send Pigafetta seed to a friend in another country and I am planning to remove the outer parts of the "fruit" before presenting the seeds to the agriculture reps in order to obtain the phytosanitary certificate.  Is it your experience to remove the outer covering before germinating the seed?

If you ship seeds to another country you should in any case remove the pulp because of customs restrictions (quarantine etc.). — In other cases it depends on the kind of seeds (or palm species) and the location (±tropical etc.) you are living. To avoid the seeds getting mouldy it may be safer in special cases to remove the pulp. — As a concrete example I had removed all remnants of the pulp when germinating Lytocaryum itapebiense seeds.

And here you can see the first published and documented labelled germination of the new species Lytocaryum batavum MEIR 2017 :innocent:, which is endemic to the Netherlands, Latin “Batavia”, and in contrast to the very similar looking Lytocaryum weddellianum a REMOTE-ligular germinator: :P

An examination of my other photos makes me come to a different conclusion: The new :P species Lytocaryum batavum appears to be a REMOTE-TUBULAR germinator as most Syagrus spp; cf. also Noblick 2017: 10.
