Re: Juania australis seedlings update.
I germinated them all in a small plastic pot kept away from radiators and Windows and in the dark and they all germinated over 2/3 months. The first after only couple weeks. I checked on them every few days and cleaned the seeds regularly and changed the sterile compost a couple of times to reduce any liklehood of fungal or bacterial attack. As they germinated I removed them and potted them up separately.

Re: Juania australis seedlings update.
Hi friends, I have some fresh seeds (2019) from Juania australis that I would like to sell. They were obtained from a small plantation, they do not come from the Juan Fernandez Islands. Anyone interested?

Re: Juania australis seedlings update.
I wonder if James could update us on how he got on with his seedlings? It's nearly two years from his last post

Re: Juania australis seedlings update.
It's not quite chilly enough(summers) here for those Chilean palms. Only 20 miles away in San Francisco they do well.

Re: Juania australis seedlings update.
Hi Dickson, I still have Juania seeds in germination from rarepalmseeds (not a fiasco but quite deceiving)… but why not interested in your new seeds of Juania to compare? depending on the price and conditions, would please you let us know? Best wishes Thierry

Re: Juania australis seedlings update.
Kev, it looks like you were able to strip the flesh without soaking them first. Is that so?

Re: Juania australis seedlings update.
Nice one, Kev. Mine were exactly the same and I was able to remove the flesh pretty easily. They are also now soaking like yours. I added a splash of hydrogen peroxide to help break down any remaining flesh, and it also helps with disinfecting too.
Was planning on leaving for a day or two before giving the seeds a other clean and then placing in a ziplock bag with sterilised sphagnum.

Re: Juania australis seedlings update.
Alberto those were the seeds after the fruit casing had been removed. I have sterilized some multi purpose compost in our microwave, don't tell Jackie, I then placed the seeds in this growing medium in a plastic zip loc bag and placed it on a windowsill.
