How to grow Palm Trees from Seed

[@florinacesposoph]

Came here to check and know how to plant these seeds properly. Was given few by my mom, instructed how to do so and it has been few weeks now when I realize I have a task to be done (i forgotten about the seeds) and forgot how to plant it properly. Hahaha It helped! Thanks.

Seeds have to be dried first?

[@growNglow]

Probably not. Some grow naturally when they fall on the ground. Thank you for watching

[@karelappel4131]

Does it matter if you place the seeds in the ground in summer/ fall or winter?

[@growNglow]

It depends on what the climate is where you live. You can sow in the middle of summer for sure. Thank you for watching

[@bobking682]

I loved the video.... I'm excited, but wonder.... how to make a triple trunked plant? I assume all I need to do is plant 3 seeds next to each other. Is this as easy as I assume?

[@growNglow]

We do usually grow them in threes because they look nice that way. There are varieties of palms that have multiple trunks from the one plant, but not this variety. However, I have seen seen three grown almost into one and other. Thank you for watching, and good look with the seeds

[@Dragonovus]

Hi thank you for the video! I have a question regarding watering. How much water should I give my palm? It's been about 40 days and it grew out of its shoot already. But it didn't open yet into a leaf. So I don't know whether it needs a lot of water everyday or every 2 days or maybe once a week? There was a time when i watered it but the water went straight to the saucer underneath although overnight it seems to have sucked most of the water back up

[@growNglow]

Just keep it moist enough so it does not completely dry out. There is no such thing as how many days to water for any plant. Thank you for watching

[@chiphamthien1918]

[@KarenHernandez-l9k]

Great video! Question… I just purchased 6 Christmas palm seedlings I planted them and have them outside in full sun. The leaves seem to be drying out 😢 even though I keep the soil moist. Where is the best place to keep these babies? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

[@england1822]

Hello! If the leaves are damaged in the sun, gradually accustom the palms to the sun. The seedlings may not have been in direct contact with the sun before. They should also be provided with adequate air humidity.

[@growNglow]

It is better to put in partial shade in the beginning, as they would grow naturally under the mother trees. I am pretty sure they will come back for you

[@waxyfool]

I have queen palm tree seeds that I’m trying to germinate but curious to know will they last in the Irish weather? Should I just keep them inside all year round

[@growNglow]

I am pretty sure they will germinate, but I do not think they will survive outside in wintertime. Thank you for watching

[@janatomkova9913]

When seeds grow on palm trees, seeds are on palm trees all year round?

[@fringestream990]

No, I think only certain part of the year.

[@growNglow]

Generally once a year. There are lovely red berries on them now.

[@FknNefFy]

The only thing I would say is maybe deeper pots because when they first root, before they even break the surface, they have a long tap route and it can’t get very long in those pots

[@growNglow]

No need, they get transferred to bigger containers soon after

[@leonoranoblefranca4915]

I keep may palm seed maybe half year already. Is it still ok to plant?

[@growNglow]

The should be fine. The oldest palm seeds to germinate were Date Palm, and they were 2,000 years old. Thank you for watching and good luck with the seeds

[@davidtomanec]

I have a question for you, the seeds in your video have a hard shell, do you break the shell before you put them in the water? or do you leave the seeds as they are?

[@growNglow]

No. The hard outside is part of the seed. It contains the nutrients that enable the seedling to grow. Just the same as a coconut. Thank you for watching

[@davidtomanec]

@@growNglow oh perfect thanks for your help i will leave them as they are and soak them in water for a few days and then plant them

Great. I wish you 100% success

[@Adamo_92]

Very interesting video that you made here. I have one question; Would this method work in a country like Malta? Thanks Adam.

[@growNglow]

There are some species of palm that grow in Malta, mostly date palms. I believe Gummar (dwarf palm) is a native species of the Maltese Islands

[@TheLastSophieAlive]

Thank you so much! I just had a couple questions. I have a christmas palm and it has the red seeds/fruits (not sure which they are). Do I wait until they fall off and the red fruit rots off naturally? Or do I take a knife and remove the red fruit husk and then soak them? Can I take some that have fallen off or should I pick it straight from the palm bunch? Little confused on how I deal with the red shell.

[@growNglow]

Let them fall off naturally. That will be in a few weeks from turning red. Thank you for watching

[@latincaz]

Thank for you sharing your information. Does this method works for Bismark palm seeds?

[@CoastalBronco]

Hey there. My neighbor gave me some Christmas Palm seeds. Some of them are about 1 inch long and others are about 2 inches long. Do you know what the difference is?

I would guess that the small ones are Christmas Palms and the others some other variety

[@CoastalBronco]

@@growNglow I believe you are correct. I think they may be from an Alexander Palm

Sir, please explain the difference between a young 10 year old Christmas palm tree and a Christmas palm tree that is more than 30 years old. Since I just bought it, they said that it is a 10-year-old sapling, but it looks like my grandmother's Christmas palm tree, which is more than 30 years old 😢😢.

[@cherriceskinner5993]

How long does it take for them to form trunks

[@growNglow]

I am not sure what you would call a trunk. After planting in the ground, they will spend 2 years establishing a root system. After that they will grow rapidly. Thank you for watching.

[@nhojcam]

Adonidia m. is commonly known here in the states as "Christmas Tree Palm." The reason for this is the trees normally bloom late in the fall, and they produce a red berry from the white flower in December / January; hence, Christmas Tree Palm.
