Edward3 says... I don't know specifically what is best for this plant, but generally seeds should be kept moist and kept cool in the shade. In your method 2 I would not place the bags in the sun.

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have any advice on how to germinate Pandanus tectorius from seed? I tried last year but all my seeds failed. I think they dried out because they were in direct sun and I didn't keep them moist.

I live on the Sunshine Coast.

I just picked up about 50 seeds which had dropped and I'm going to try a few methods to figure out which one will work best but I'd like some feedback/thoughts if possible.

Method 1:
1. Cut off all fleshy fruit from the keys to avoid any kind of rot
2. Soak in warm water for 4-5 days (changing water daily)
3. Sow keys into shallow sand and keep moist

Method 2:
