Fiji Palm Germination:

Soak the seeds in a bowl of clean water for seven days. Be sure to change the water every morning to ensure it stays fresh before starting. Some have found it better to crack the hard seed coat before hand to help facilitate germination, while it has recently been found that complete removal of the hard seed coat can also increase germination rates dramatically. The time needed for germination can be sped up dramatically using a heated propagator set to the Optimal temperature of 100-104 F at all times after being placed into soil.   

1) Mix 1/2 cup of bleach with five cups of water. Place the seeds in a strainer and pour the bleach mixture over them. The bleach will sterilize the outside of the seeds and prevent mold growth. If layer of skin is still present, just peel it off. 2) Place the Seeds in a strainer and pour the bleach mixture over them. 3) Fill a pot with high quality potting soil & plant the seeds so they are level with the soil surface. The seeds do not have to be completely covered to germinate. 4) Use a Heated Propagator to keep the temperature as as close to 104 degrees F as possible. The seeds should not be in sunlight as they are at risk for drying out. Water the soil until it is damp to the touch. The soil must stay damp (not wet), at all times throughout the germination process. 5) Be patient–it can take 2 months for some, while others will take over 3-4 months or more to germinate as with any Exotic or Tropical seeds. The Fiji Fan Palm is Well Worth the Wait!
