Germinated Sabal pumos in rooting hormone/water mixture

Like the title says I took a Sabal pumos seed and peeled the lid off with a blade being careful not to damage the insides. Put it in a clear cup of water and a little rooting hormone and 2 weeks later we have a root popping out. Under water. 

 Somebody may find this interesting.

    Looks like you haven't done a water change in a while!  You might want to treat it with a diluted hydrogen peroxide soak to kill off any fungus.  I have had that happen with untreated Washingtonia seeds and more recently Copernicia hospita seeds germinating in just a few days (in just water changed daily).

    So in other words it’s not thanks to the rooting hormone I take it!

    I don't know if the rooting hormone helped it or not but Sabal, Washingtonia and Copernicia seeds germinate pretty easily so probably don't need the extra help!
