Soaking Windmill palm Seeds

[Bill Nanaimo]

Hi,

I'm new to growing palm trees from seeds, I hear some people saying soak them for 24 hrs and others say up to 3 days, what works best 

thank you

I think one day is totally fine, some will say it's not required.  The most important thing is that they're fresh seed, if they are it's hard to fail.

I soak 24 hours with 4 oz of progib per gallon of water

Trachycarpus are the one species I dont soak as the seeds are very fleshy and absorb water easily. Anything with a shell I soak.

I'm gonna try soaking 24hrs & 72 hrs and then some of each in baggies and some in soil and just leaving a few in water and changing water every 2-3 days, now I'll try just putting them straight into soil with plastic lid and let it get fresh air and water every few days

try the progib

I'll look for some progibb, is there a chain store that sells ?
