This pack contains 10 seeds, allowing you to grow your own young plant of this long-lived and immensely decorative woody plant.

Contents of the Package:

  • 10 seeds of Beaucarnea guatemalensis

For successful sowing, it is recommended to use a special succulent substrate with a high proportion of sand, fine grit, or perlite, which ensures rapid drainage and prevents rotting of young roots. Place the sowing tray in a bright warm spot without direct harsh sunlight and keep the substrate only slightly moist until the seeds begin to germinate. Young seedlings grow slowly compared to common houseplants and gradually develop the typical swollen stem, which over time takes on a decorative form. In adulthood, this beaucarnea becomes a striking indoor specimen, which long-term tolerates dry indoor air and requires minimal care. This pack of 10 seeds of Beaucarnea guatemalensis is therefore a suitable start for anyone wishing to engage in the long-term cultivation of this distinctive Central American woody plant from the very sowing to the mature plant.
