Hi KorgBoy-
I have some N. nucifera seeds that have been soaking for over two weeks, and one FINALLY looks like it's germinating. I'm so excited!
Did you keep yours on heat? Mine only germinated after I took it off the heat mat. I had read that they germinated at 80F, but apparently not mine :)
What do yours look like now?

Hi plantaholic! Very very belated congrats! I had not logged in for a LONG time. I did not have it on a heater. Just tropical temperature room temperature. Best regards.
