🌱 Germination Method 🌱

1. Sowing Time: Best sown in spring or early summer for optimal warmth.
2. Prepare the Seeds: Soak Canary Island Palm seeds in warm water for 24-48 hours to speed up germination.
3. Sowing Depth: Plant Canary Island Palm seeds 1-2 cm deep in a well-draining seed-raising mix.
4. Maintain Moisture and Warmth: Keep soil moist but not soggy. Maintain temperatures around 25-30°C.
5. Germination Timeframe: Germination may take some time, so patience is key. Typically 4-12 weeks, depending on conditions. A long germination period requires patience, but the results are worth the wait.
