Christmas Palm seeds update. Received these seeds in late November & nearly every seed germinated by the middle of December, so these seedlings are around 3 weeks old now.

Update #2: Several more Serenoa repens seeds from @Boca Palms germinated. They’re in their own cups now. 

Update #3: Currently soaking the Buccaneer Palm seeds that @Johnny Palmseed sent my way. Thank you again for the seeds! 
 

I need springtime to hurry up. 😂

Part of the mix is Sta-Green Vegetable & Flower Garden Soil, and the rest of it is a unknown mix from a palm that was shipped to me in November. Top layer of soil is the unknown stuff.
