I have had these Roystonea borinquena, or Puerto Rican Royal Palm seeds cleaned and laying around for a month or so now and figured time to try some of those tips I have had passed along to me. I have soaked all of these seeds on the warmer for 2 days. Now I have takeout tins 1 with 100% perlite 8 lightly sanded seeds and 3 unsanded seeds. Then the other tin has a jiffy seed starter mix as well as 8 sanded seeds and3 unsanded seeds. I also started the 18 classic 3" jiffy pots with the same starter mix and 12 sanded and 6 unsanded and placed them in the dome. I have placed the 2 tins on the warmers so they have the same heat and environment so i am trying to find out what will be my prefered method of starting seeds. I hope.
Well being born in a paradise like I was here in South Florida I have always taken all of my tropical plants and palms around me for granted. Just recently realizing how lucky I am. I'm going to take full advantage of this tropical climate. This blog is going to show all of my trials and tribulations with growing different species of plants and trees. Feel free to check back regularly and watch my plants grow.
