How to Propagate Fishtail palms?
Fishtail palms are typically propagated by seeds, as they lack branches for cuttings. Key factors for successful germination include warmth, humidity, and well-draining soil. Special considerations involve the time it takes for seeds to germinate which can be lengthy, often several months. Propagation difficulty is generally moderate to high due to slow seed germination and growth rates. To propagate fishtail palms, soak the seeds for 24-48 hours, plant in a seed-starting mix, maintain a temperature of 85-95°F (29-35°C), and keep the soil moist. Seedlings can be transferred to larger pots once they've developed several leaves.
