How-To Germinate Palm Seeds
1. Needs....
Plastic Container
Heat Source
Open the lid to your container and put in the soil. Next put in the palm seeds. Just barely cover the seeds and make sure you can not see the seed. Put enough water to make it moist and not wet. Put the container in the heat source and be patient and your seeds should germinate.

2. Needs....
Pot
Sun
Put soil into the pot and put the seeds in after. Makes sure you cover the seed. Water every other day and sooner or later they will germinate.

Make sure your seeds are fresh. If not, the seeds will take longer to germinate.
