Instructions:
We recommend using the following to sow the seeds:
Ponytail palms are easy to germinate and grow as houseplants, the main downside is how slow their growth is. They are very low-maintenance, preferring low watering, bright light, but not from direct sun(unless it's weaker sun rays), and only needs to be fertilized 2-3 times a year.

These seeds are for the 2023 growing season.
Customer Reviews
I got these from seed, soaked them for 24 hours and planted them in August. Here they are at the start of October. 100% germination. I would highly recommend.
I planted these seeds a few weeks ago and they have started to sprout! They've been fun to watch sprout up and have looked very healthy so far. I can't wait to see them grow into bigger palms.
I did the greenhouse method on a heat mat under grow lights. My first time growing these seeds.
The germinated in 2 weeks and are starting to get their first leaves. Can’t wait to see how they look in the future! Thanks!
Germinates pretty quickly. Seeds are large and easy to see. Germination rates are good. They grow slowly, but steadily. They like to be watered more, when they are young. You can make mistakes with these seedlings, they'll bounce back. I underwatered for a few months and now they are back on track. These are wonderful seeds for a beginner grower.

All of our orders come with a basic starter guide for you to follow, but our seed guide here goes in much more detail and also offers alternative seed starter methods.

my seeds aren't germinating, what do I do?
