Die Anzucht über Samen ist sehr langwierig. Es kann Monate dauern, bis die Samen keimen und die ersten Keimblätter zu sehen sind.
Rearing from saplings is a little faster. However, this only works if the date palm shoots lateral saplings in spring.
How to grow a date palm from saplings
To grow new date palms, you can cut saplings that grow laterally out of the ground in spring. Never cut off the top of the date palm. This will remove the vegetation point and the palm will die.
- Fill growing pots (€ 14.90 at Amazon *) with soil
- Insert saplings and press the soil into place
- set up in a bright, warm location
- Keep the substrate moist but not wet
Place the pots with the cuttings in a location that is as warm as possible. Temperatures around 25 degrees are ideal. It is good if the saplings are also heated from below.
The fact that new roots have formed can be seen when new leaf buds appear. You only have to transplant the new date palms when the roots have already grown out of the drainage hole below.
How to grow date palm from seeds
The seed is very hard-skinned and is placed in lukewarm water for at least 24 hours before sowing. Then sow it in pots that you have filled with potting soil.
Cover the seed about an inch high with soil. Place the pot warm and bright but not sunny. Keep the soil moist, avoiding too much moisture.
After germination, wait until the new date palm is about ten centimeters high. Then plant them in a deep pot of palm soil.
Tips
Date palms can tolerate light frost temperatures for a short time. In a protected location, you can even overwinter older specimens in the garden bed. It shouldn't get colder than -6 degrees at the location.
