Dypsis lastelliana Redneck Teddy Bear Palm Update

Back on 3/24/08 I started 20 of these seeds. So far I have 2 sprouted Dypsis lastelliana , Redneck Palm, or Teddy Bear Palms. They are just about to put out their second spear. These so far are the coolest looking palm sprouts that I have. The first 2 pictures were taken on 5/21/07, and the last picture was taken on 7/7/08.

Starting a Batch of Dypsis Seeds

A few days ago I received some new seeds in the mail. They have been soaking in warm water for 3 days. I have 20 Dypsis lastelliana seeds or Redneck Palm and 30 Dypsis hovomanstina seeds. I started the 20 redneck palm seeds in a snap-tite container along with 20 of the Dypsis hovomanstina seeds in another snap-tite container. These were placed in a 50%perlite and 50% peat moss mix. Then I placed 10 of the Dypsis hovomanstina seeds in a ziplock bag with a seed starting mix. They have been placed in the seed room and as soon as a sprout pops I will update.
