Beide zaden kwamen na een paar weken op. Vanaf het begin al mooie silvergrijze blaadjes. De zaden enkele dagen in warm water laten weken en gezaaid in zaai en stekgrond en flink wat grof zand.

I have purchased 20 seeds. I kept them 3 days in water and changed the water each 24 hours. I put all the seeds in a big pot, with a 5 cm distance between the seeds. After 2-3 weeks I checked the seeds each day and when I see that one is germinated, I moved in a single pot. The seeds must be inserted like half in soil and half outside and be sure that the soil will not go dry. I have germinated 7 seeds until now. So there is a 35% germination rate until now. I'm still expecting for the others to germinate. This is my first time germinating Bismarckia seeds but I'm happy with the result.

29 oktober 2022 besteld
Begin november zaden gezaaid in 2 potten met mengsel van zaaigrond zand vermiculiet en spaghnum mos.
In propegator weggezet met hoge luchtvochtigheid en temperatuur tussen 25 en 31 graden.
Na 6 weken zoiets aan bovenkant niks te zien doch maar aan onderkant flinke penwortels
Overgeplant naar een diepe pot maar kon hierdoor door de hoogte ze niet meer in de propegator terugzetten.
Boven verwarming in een kamer gezet en over de potten een transparante plastic zak om vochtig klimaat te creëren "bovengronds"
Onder de potten een deksel.
Nu eind januari 2023 onder het plastic 2 baby Bismarck palmjes .
