I have seedlings popping up under my tree all the time, but I have a hard time sprouting when I pick up and move the seeds, not seedlings to pots in green house.

That is so awesome! How long would you say it takes to germinate one of these?

Takes a couple to several months for Wodyetia bifurcata. You can speed them up by grinding off the blunt end of the seed till you see the white radical tip and then soaking them for a few days. They like warm and damp soil, no need for any sunlight.

Here's a pic of one the end was ground off of and then germinated and below are a couple dissected seeds so you can see what they look like inside.

I've had a few pop in two weeks to a month by removing the flesh soaking them for two days.  I changed the water twice each day.

That's fast! Did you keep them heated?
