Travelers Palm Tree Seeds (Ravenala madagascariensis) Bird of Paradise Plant (5 Seeds)

I am very disappointed by vendor. Again, no signs of life. I am able to grow an acre of veggies ( from seeds, including tomatoes from seed ), avocado trees, oranges, lemons, limes, peaches, apples ( many varieties ), green giant arborvitae, figs, and many other verities. Even have cold protection tents for all, but everything purchases from this vender, dead seeds.

The media could not be loaded. As you can see in the video 3 are growing. I looked up the best method to get the seeds to grow. It’s not just sticking them in Pete-moss you need to take a file to them first. I use an Emory board nail file. I filed around the whole seed and planted them in Pete-moss put them outside you have to make sure they stay moist. It’s not difficult here in South Florida it’s hot and humid and it rains just about every day. They were in tiny pots when I started the larger pots they are in now to grow out so I can plant in the ground. The outer part of the seeds are a hard shell so by sanding the shell down you will have better success at growing them.

Seeds never sprouted.

All 5 seeds germinated. I have never been successful in the past. I'm ordering more.

So far there has been no sign of germination despite following the rules to encourage it. Update. Definitely a waste of money. No seeds have germinated which seems to be the norm with seeds purchased on line.

The instructions are good except not having an expected germination time. I have them in separate pots in a terrium environment since they are tropical. This is a guess on my part, but since I just noticed a phone # I'm going to text and ask so I don't ruin them accidentally.

Junk grew a weed instead of the travelers palm

The seeds came from 1 super large to one large and the other three were small.I am aware that I can call the company for growing instructions but for $14 for 5 seeds I would have liked a tips and tricks insert.. something like a quick-start guide . I looked at so many articles about how, when , where to start them for the most successful germination rate. This will be my winter project , trying to raise these with artificial light and humidity. Wish me luck !Will update if any of these sprouts .
