🌱 Propagation Instructions

Germination Method

1. Sowing Time: Alexandra Palm seeds can be sown year-round in suitable warm conditions, but generally, spring and summer are ideal.
2. Preparation: No specific pre-treatment like scarification is mentioned for Archontophoenix alexandrae seeds; simply prepare your mix.
3. Sowing: Fill a pot with seed-raising mix (e.g., Peat moss (⅔) and Perlite (⅓) or any suitable seed-raising mix). Place Alexandra Palm seeds just under the surface.
4. Moisture: Water well to ensure the mix is evenly moist. Keep moist but not soaked throughout the germination process.
5. Create a mini-greenhouse: Put a clear plastic bag over the top or cover with Glad wrap to retain heat and moisture. You can also make a mini-greenhouse by cutting a round disposable plastic bottle in half and using the bottom half as a dome over the pot, or use a styrofoam box with a lid. 🌿
6. Temperature: Keep in a warm position, out of direct sunlight.
7. Care: Once seedlings are about 2-3 cm high, they are ready to pot into their own containers. Incorporate a small amount of slow-release fertiliser in the mix. Water once every 2-3 days while seedlings are developing. 🪴💧
