🌱 Germination Method (for Dwarf Date Palm seeds):
- Preparation: Soak the Phoenix roebelenii seeds in warm water for 24-48 hours prior to sowing to aid germination. Replace water every 12 hours.
- Sowing: Plant Dwarf Date Palm seeds just below the surface of a well-draining seed-raising mix, lightly covered.
- Temperature: Maintain a consistent soil temperature between 24-29°C (75-85°F). A heat mat can be beneficial.
- Moisture: Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged.
- Germination Time: Germination of Dwarf Date Palm seeds typically takes 1-3 months, though it can take longer, sometimes up to 6 months. Germination may take some time, so patience is key. A long germination period requires patience, but the results are worth the wait.
