- Want to grow some Christmas palm trees (adonidia merrillii) from seed? You're in luck because these guys are super simple. I show you how I did it!
All you need is water, coconut coir, perlite, and some patience. Maybe some heat, too.
Christmas palm trees are native to southeast asia, but you can find them in your local garden centers during the summer months. They can be grown indoors or out, but they aren't winter hardy so you'll likely need to bring them back in as soon as it gets cold.

Let me know if you have any questions or need help in the comments. I'm always happy to respond and try to troubleshoot. Thanks for watching!
I’m here because I took these seeds from Garfield Conservatory in Chicago. They were on the ground and decided to bring some home. Wish me luck!
Oh awesome! I have to admit I’ve taken seeds from conservatories before as well, haha. I found these guys easy to grow, I hope they are for you as well!
I discover wayyyyy to many cool from your channel - I’m running out of room in the house :-)
gotta get more shelves!
Palms are super fun to germinate
I agree! My first few attempts resulted in lots of mold though, lol. I’ve learned a bit mor since then 😅
Love the valuable information you provide in this video to germinate the seeds. 💖
aw thanks so much for watching! so glad it helps
They are beautiful palms. Pity we don't have them here. Can't even find the seeds. Good luck to you dear 👍👍👌👌👏👏🌹🌴🌴
Thank you! I wonder if they're invasive where you live?
Palms are fun to grow. I germinated in the past date palms from dates from the supermarket 🙂
I was wondering if you could germinate date palms that way! I was thinking the seeds may not be viable if the drying process was too harsh but I guess not!
I love how informative this video was! You're awesome Haniya
aw thanks so much for watching!! how are your seeds doing??
Grate choice of palm.🌴
I thought so too! easy to grow, fairly easy to keep indoors
Meriillii, that's gotta be in the top 10 nicest plant names honestly
Oops Merrillii haha
Lmaoo
yeah it sounds like a fairy name haha 🧚♀️
it is a palm, the tree is widely used in Indonesia as a cover crop, and many are planted on the side of the highway
Oh, that's fascinating. I assume it's like how in the US we use evergreen trees or cedars. I guess that means they're very hardy
Thank you for your videos. Very helpful information.
thanks so much for watching! glad it was helpful
I like your detailed explanation, very informative
thanks so much for watching! happy you found it useful
I have more than 20 of these palms in my yard and I’m constantly cutting the seed bunches off because when they fall to the ground they attract wild chickens who dig up EVERYTHING!. So I literally have thousands of these seeds every month so why not grow them. FYI the easiest palm seed to germinate are Washingtonian palms. Just pick up the seeds off the ground a lightly cover with sand, wet them and in a few weeks they sprout.
Oh yeah!! I know people also sell the seeds on eBay, you could definitely try that, too! I should try Washington palms. I was trying to stick to palms that could survive in indoor conditions since I don’t live in a tropical climate but might branch out
Actually, don't go to that link. It doesn't look legitimate on further inspection
Lol I have over 30 full size Christmas palms in my yard and I throw thousands of these seeds away all the time to keep the wild chickens away. But the little seedlings that grow under the trees won’t take if you try to transplant to a pot. And once 12” tall it’s impossible.
Ha! You could make a bit of money if you cleaned the seeds and sold them on eBay. Or the small seedlings. :-)
Another interesting seed to grow. Soon you may need a larger place. 😉
i agree! i honestly need to get out of ny, no land and too expensive to fuel this hobby lol
@@HaniyaRae 😆
Please help me it's been almost 2 months since I planted the seeds and I still haven't sprouted seeds why please help me
What is the ratio of perlite, coir and soil that you use?
I’m about to harvest fresh seeds from a tree, can you suggest how to manage free seeds so they germinate? TIA
Sure, you can clean the fruit off of the seed and that should help limit chances of rot/fungus. But they should be very hardy to just stick in soil and wait for germination, provided they have heat and humidity
please post a video of how they look now
Working on it for the few I have left finally
What kind of soil is needed after you transplant them? Thanks for your help!
hey there, i'm using regular potting soil with added perlite at the moment. They're fairly hardy so I think as long as you have proper drainage, they should be good!
Do you remove the red pulp from the seed before soaking?
I’ve heard you can just plant it like that? I’m not sure
I'm concerned my Adonidia seeds will rot if I put then in soil on a heat mat, should I be? Or would putting them in sphagnum moss work better?
Hm, have you cleaned the red part off? They should be pretty hardy and resistant to rot
@@HaniyaRae yes, I ordered them online they were cleaned and prepped to go.
I think you should be fine. If you're worried, you can put some in soil and some in spaghnum, but my guess is they'll sprout and grow either way
can we et an update on these pretty please!! :)
yeah! I'm sorry, i'm about to move so it's been hard for me to film anything. I'm hoping to do a tour/update in the next month or so!
Can I plant them whilst they are still red?
You can! You just may have a higher chance of them rotting on you
You didn't mention if you have to take the pulp off the seeds like I have seen for other Palm seeds. Is that necessary for the Christmas palm seeds?
Hm! I think the seller cleaned the pulp off for me -they were already husks when I got them. So I’d ask the seller to clean them or clean them off if you get them with the fruit on. I’m guessing that’s why I got them cleaned!
@@HaniyaRae thanks. They’re from my own palms. I’ll take the pulp off then. I’m guessing it really doesn’t matter since Mother Nature doesn’t clean them right? : )
@@topdog417 oh funny! I mean…you could also let the fruit drop and let it seed on the ground, then just dig the seedlings up? Thinking about how Mother Nature might terminate them, haha. You could also do an experiment with half fruit and half no fruit and see if there’s a germination rate difference! I’d love to know.
So I took off pulp and planted half in planters and half in large zip lock bags in moist soil. 3 weeks later the ones in planter haven’t sprouted yet. The ones in bags amazingly sprouted very quickly. Have transplanted into planters and are growing super well
@@topdog417 interesting, perhaps the humidity needs to be higher for the ones in the planters? that’s good at least the ones in the bag have germinated!
can i keep in pots pot plant
haha like weed? anything is possible
Can you please write down the mixing for the soil? I got seeds soaking. Thank you.
Sure, these guys are fairly easy, but you can throw them in 1/2 coir and 1/2 perlite or 1/3 coir, 1/3 perlite, and 1/3 normal potting soil.
How tall are these palm trees currently?
czcams.com/channels/pfZbDdbcZMY9rT_H8scoHw.html
A couple feet? They haven’t been kept in ideal conditions, so I’m sure they’d be bigger if they were
@@HaniyaRae when you can get a bulb on them they will want water passed through them very frequently and will take off 🥰 good luck!
you are beautiful
Thank you!
