Cheryl, Cool! There has to be a pollen source (male plant) nearby for a dioceious palm to be pollinated. Either one of your trees must be a boy, or the one making seeds is a monoecious type, not C. elegans.

I'd love to see a pic of your sprouts! Did you plant the seeds on purpose, or did they just fall on their own?



Sorry to be so late with the pic. But I just happen to be sitting near the Parlor Palm. I brought it in for the winter. And it might have just earned it's permanent spot in here! Perfect Photo Op! Notice the seeds on the upper left? I will drop them into soil just for fun. These were self-planted into the bottom of the pot.
