Species | Phoenix sylvestris |
Germination | If the Phoenix Sylvestris seeds appear dry, soak them in warm water for 1-3 days. For sowing, use peat, coco fiber, or similar media. It should be moist but not wet. Mix the seeds with the moist compost and place into a clear plastic (Ziploc) bag, and seal it. Place them at a temperature around 25-30 C. No light is required for germination. Check weekly for signs of activity by looking for white roots through the plastic. Ensure that the medium does not dry out. The seeds can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 years (or more) to germinate; however, most will sprout after 4-6 weeks. After the seeds have sprouted, plant each in a tall, narrow pot using a well-drained medium and place in ample light, but not in full sun. They have deeper roots than might be expected before emergence, so use deep containers. Aim to keep the soil moist (but not wet) at all times, feed and pot on as required. Germination can take longer. Be patient! |
