Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I germinate Manila Palm seeds? Soak the seeds in warm water for 48 hours, changing the water every 24 hours. Sow them in a well-draining mix of coco coir and perlite, maintaining a constant temperature of 75–85°F (24–30°C); germination typically occurs within 4 to 8 weeks.
What are the light requirements for the Adonidia merrillii? This palm is a sun-lover. While young seedlings prefer bright, indirect light to avoid leaf scorch, mature specimens require full sun to develop their characteristic crown and robust trunk.
How should I water and drain the plant? Water regularly during the growing season, but ensure the soil has excellent drainage. This palm does not like “wet feet,” so standing water should be avoided to prevent root rot.
How do I fertilize the palm? To maintain the deep, vibrant green of the fronds, we recommend applying a slow-release palm fertilizer during the spring and summer months.
