    Those are looking very nice , future palms for gardens. Also uncommon varieties in numbers. It really puts the emphasis on how long it takes to get them up and going. Almost 2 years according to the last photo. Harry

    Some good ones in there, it not only takes time, but you need to do large batches if you are to get any decent amount of palms in the end. With the process of natural attrition 100 palms will in the end will give you around 60 to 70 percent winners in that attrition rate. That’s palm growing not every palm gets to live due to many factors at play.

    Yes , I’ve experienced that recently . I potted up about ten Chrsalidiocarpus Blacki seedlings that germinated and already lost two of them . They just weren’t strong enough to survive the transfer . The majority are doing well though. The C. Decipiens that germinated using the baggie method are going strong but only about half of the seeds sprouted . I think the new greenhouse will help the seedlings get through the first year or so. I do plan to add low level heating in the winter. My old greenhouse had a boat heater ( from our sailing days) set on low just to keep the temp up to almost 60f until the sun came up. In nature most seeds don’t survive but enough do to keep the species going. Many factors at play there. Harry
