those little pots are too short for most palm seedlings. Replant the seedlings individually into 20oz plastic or styrofoam cups. The actual seed should be planted just below the soil line. You did good.

You need something more than little white cups.

Palm seeds root deep. Some people actually start them out in lengths of PVC pipe. Try using cut-off soda bottles - at least.

It's interesting to see that someone else has tried that Jiffy peat pellet thing, but I would never use it for Palm seeds, except to get them started, maybe.

Thanks for the advise
Yeah that's all i have used that jiffy thing for but it has worked and worked great i will replant them thanks !
Do i plant them with the white root down ?

plant them the same way they are growing in the jiffy pots. I have germinated 100's of palm seeds and with very few exceptions, they have all thrived in the 20 oz plastic cups. The sabal palmetto and wash filifera will be fine in the 20 oz cups.

Do you put holes in your cups for drainage ?
What do you plant the seeds in ?

I drill 3 holes, each about the 1/2 the size of a dime, in the bottom of each cup for good drainage. I use a good potting soil, sand and perlite for a potting mix. ratio of 2-1-1.

Thanks oppalm by the way how's your weather ?

we had our first freeze last night, Monday night into Tuesday morning. down to about 29F in my backyard. I moved everything inside last night and probably will move some cold hardy stuff back out on wednesday. Temps this week in the mid 50's to mid 60's lows in high 30's to low 40's for the next 7 days. I'll keep them outside as long as I can.

Hows your weather? any freezes yet?

We've had our first Tule Fog and not surprisingly, our first 100 car pile-up on the 99. It's an anual climate thing and an anual ritual.

Freeze tonight is on it's way !

Found some styrofoam cups so here's my new set up..

How long did it take for your filifera seeds to sprout? I'm also trying to get some to sprout, and it's been 2 weeks this coming wednesday, and I don't see any signs of life yet.

It took mine about a week they were fast !
But don't give up because if they are older seeds they can take up to 30 days.

I show my wife these pictures just to let her know Im not the only insane plant obsessed person in this world..lol

Lol obsessed is not the word !

To those sprouting filifera or any palms, bottom heat helps in many cases.
