Default Re: Travellers Palm - Germination

I soaked them in water for about two days. Then I put the container of dampened seedstarting mix on top of my Bunn coffeemaker for about two weeks and they started to germinate. Keep a cover on the pot to keep it from drying out. I had 4/5 germination in about a month. I'd say the temp on top of the coffeemaker is about 95 degrees.So a regular seedstarting mat would work too.
