Sowing Seeds:For best results, please follow the instructions in the order provided.Germination: The fleshy fruit pulp should be removed and the seeds rinsed thoroughly in water. Make sure to wear rubber gloves when handling fruits of royal palms, since the pulp contains calcium oxalate crystals that are highly irritating to exposed skin. The seeds should be sown in a well-drained, uniformly moist potting soil and kept warm (95°F is ideal). Royal palm seeds appear to have immature embryos at the time that the fruit falls and thus will not germinate for 5–8 months after planting. The grass-like seedlings should be transplanted into containers after the second leaf emerges.**Please note that the seeds have not been pretreated for sowing. Due to the many factors involved in successful germination, the seller cannot grantee germination.** Shipping:To offer you the lowest shipping costs, these seeds are mailed in plain yellow bubble mailers utilizing eBay Standard Envelope shipping or plain white envelopes with stamps.
