i just throw mine in the ground and they grow... maybe u can do that in march and keep them moist. they are super easy to germinate compare to other palms... hope someone can help u ore detailed... -Justin in VB

I use a baggie with sphagnum moss,perlite or vermiculite-
kept slightly moist,if the seeds are fresh they will begin
sprouting in anywhere between a few days to a few months.

I pot up when they are producing there first little spear
(plumule),this way I can plant it so it's pointing up and
keep an eye on it's progress.

You may want to use a larger sized baggie(the kind you
could put a few sandwiches in),that way they will be
able to grow out a little before you plant them.

Good luck!

Thanks guys for the quick response....Hopefully I will have a bunch of little Palms growing soon ;) I will post pictures of them and keep everyone posted on their progress. Any advice along the way would be greatly appreciated since this will be my first growing experience :)))

Windmills gain greatly in hardiness as they mature. I would grow them along in containers until they get large enough to plant outside in the ground. A protected, southern exposure near the house or other structure is helpful. I have two larger windmills in the ground, a few in containers and just bought about a dozen seedling to grow along as security for potential loss. It's been a rough winter and the in-ground ones have seen better days but hopefully their buds will soon be pushing new growth. I haven't grown from seed but they be easier than a lot of other palm species in not requiring a lot of extra (tropical) heat in order to germinate and get started. Another nice thing about this species is that they tend to be relatively inexpensive and growth is moderate. Good luck!
