Thank you, Jordan If you are talking about archontophoenix alexandrae yes, I bought 10 seeds, and they germinated in 2 weeks. I've used orchid moss in a tapper and I had it outdoors, +80º every day and minimum temp 70º now the palms are starting to get their first leaf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordantlewis3 Posted September 18 Author Report Share Posted September 18 Ok awesome. I have 17 seeds and they’ve been germinating for 12 days now. So I’m eager to see them pop. I’ve had them indoors at 77-82 degrees..do you think that is good temp or should I put them outside? I’m in Arizona so it’s still about 100 everyday and in the high 60s/low 70s at night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep them in there, they should pop in a couple of days, which media are you using? Perlite? Coco fiber? I will upload a couple of pictures of mine poping out in a couple of minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
