Red Wax Palm Germination:
1) Scarify the seeds by rubbing the outer shell with sandpaper.
2) Soak them in warm water for 4 days, being sure to change the water daily. Use a thermos to keep the water warm.
3) Lightly press them into the top of a "sterile & well draining" potting mix. Do Not Bury, just leave part of the seed exposed as they need light in order to germinate.
4) Cover the seed tray with a piece of plastic to help retain moisture.
5) But sure to use a heated propagator mat to keep the temperature around 85 degrees F.
6) Every few days, remove the plastic and mist with a spray bottle if it starts to dry. The have to stay moist, not wet.
7) As with any other tropical, germination is erratic & patience is needed. If you're lucky, you may have a few pop up with a few weeks to a month, but most can take all the way up to a year at the longest so don't toss out any that don't sprout quickly. They're still good and just need time.
8) Periodically check the seeds when misting them to see if any mold of fungus is spotted. If you spot it on the seeds, just clean them with a copper based fungicide, and replace on top of a new sterile and moist mix again.

These Rare & Gorgeous Palms are Definitely Worth the Wait!
