Product description
This rare palm species is one of the tallest and fastest-growing palms in the world. Its height can reach 50 metres in the tropics with a growth rate of up to 2 metres per year. The palm is found only on Sulawesi in Indonesia. Around 450-900 metres altitude and generally in open spots of the rainforest. The species has a shiny, green trunk that is popular locally as a construction material. The petioles have many dark spines and these make even a young plant special to see.It is a tropical species that can be kept as a houseplant. The plant needs a sunny location, nutrient-rich soil and plenty of water. If humidity is low, you can spray the leaves with water regularly.
Sowing description: Soak seeds in lukewarm water for 24 hours, then sow in sowing soil at 25-30grC. Keep soil constantly slightly moist, after which germination usually occurs within a few weeks.

Als aansluiting op mijn eerdere review
Onlangs is zaad 5 van de bestelde 20 gekiemd
Zitten momenteel dus op een percentage van 25%
Overige zaden zijn nog hard
We laten ons verrassen
17 januari jl. 10 zaden besteld
26 januari jl nog eens extra 10 zaden besteld omdat ik weer extra ruimte kreeg door uitplanten andere kiemlingen van een andere palmsoort.
Enfin ruim een week geleden zijn 2 zaden van de Wangapalm gekiemd en inmiddels ca 3 cm hoog.
Ben benieuwd of er nog meer volgen.
In ieder geval, de eerste kieming is behoorlijk snel in vergelijking met andere palmzaden
