Propagation of Blue Hesper Palm: Seed - best sown as soon as it is ripe in a warm greenhouse at not less than 24℃. Germination of fresh seed usually takes place in 3 - 4 months at 25℃. Stored seed is very slow to germinate. Pre-soaking the seed for 24 hours in warm water prior to sowing may shorten the germination time. Plants form a long tap-root some time before forming a shoot so it is best to sow 2 - 3 seeds per deep pot. Grow the seedlings on in the greenhouse for at least their first three winters. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts.
