Sowing
Seeds have a fleshy outer layer around a hard shell. Remove the outer coat, soak the seed in water overnight, then sow in a warm place in free-draining mix. Germination can take a long time.
Safety: Sago palm seeds and plants are toxic if eaten, including to pets. Wear gloves when handling and keep them out of reach.
