As the cool weather comes in my washies show these yellow dots and if I can remember when I originally had this issue when they were smaller but I can’t remember if this is potassium or magnesium issue?

Also to kill 2 birds with one stone what kind of seeds are those on the table, my brother friend brought them from Florida to me and I think they are Fox tail or Royal?

My guess would be K, as they look like spots rather than bands.

The seeds are definitely not foxtails, which are much bigger and covered in longitudinal ridges. They look the right size to be royals, but really could be all sorts of things when partially obscured in the middle ground of a low resolution photo, so unless they are definitely one or the other, I'd take a better photo of them and post it on the other forum.

I second the guess of K.

Also, I would venture to say that those are not Foxtail seeds. Hard to tell what they are in that photo.

Take another photo, at a closer angle, and upload it to the other forum.

The look like Adonidia seeds.

How much should I give them? 8 tablespoons?

I went and did 8, seems safe

Hard to tell from the zoom, but I would have to agree that those look like Adonidia merrillii seeds.  Even though they typically ripen red around December (hence the common name "Christmas Palm"), I have seen them ripen earlier too.  I just picked some ripe ones in Cape Coral, Florida in October.

When i recieved them they looked like this kind of, I'll have to take a photo of them. I cleaned the flesh off already. I think you guys are right!

Usually easy (and quick) to germinate.  If you have the right moisture level and bottom heat (and fresh seed of course), I have seen these guys pop in less than two weeks.

Awesome thanks! I'll baggy them up and give them a heat mat and let them grow in a enclosed humid fishtank until summer 😍

@GoatLockerGuns is spot on. I collected a few in Key Largo 2 years ago. Took them about 2 weeks to start germinating. I will say they are pretty unhappy inside and outside under 40. We had cold rain last night (37) and they came inside. Mine aren't real big because I let them flirt with a freeze last year  took most of the summer to recover. They and the foxtail behind them will go back out for a few days but I think it's about over.

I wonder if a humidity chamber and a heat mat would help?

I fed all the washies langamite and though its early for results, they already look different to my eyes in a good way
