Hello :) , 3 days ago I soaked the seeds with warm water inside a container. Today on 6th of July 2026 I started to plant them each one in a small pot!

Don't worry I'll always update on this palm whenever I can!

Here’s an update on my ones, dead, cold weather got them!

Crazy as it is the ones in the greenhouse are all dead yet the ones in the hothouse are all alive, goes to show a little winter protection works, or it’s cold and wet that kills them not the cold, as the ones in the hothouse are not getting wet foliage. Crazy Palm verschaffeltia so fussy in my climate, no more attempts after this batch!

Yes you're right, its perhaps likely to be a humid cold that kills your palms, the high of moisture and cold temperature could lead to root rot according to google, and I didn't even know this before!

Cold soil leads to a lot of things especially with tropical palms, but most of the time it’s the foliage that burns from the water inside the plant cells freezing. This is why the leaves go black.

Or it’s just luck of the draw some live and some don’t, palms would have to be one of the most sensitive plants around when it comes to cold temperatures. And it’s so frustrating trying to figure out what palms to purchase or grow with the risk of being killed by cold weather.

I really feel and understand that, even me sometimes I struggled a lot to find the perfect size and shape palms for my garden. Even though I live in the tropics, I have 2 yards front and back which are both very different. My frontyard is really dry, dusty, and swampy but depends on the season. The floor can't get enough sunlight due to large canopy of trees, almost no grasses are alive except those huge trees. My backyard is too small to plant medium to large palms, but the ecosystem is much more better and more direct sunlight!
