Can you get S. Magnifica seeds in Thailand? If so from where?

I have 3 seeds germinating at the moment in soil under plastic bags for some extra humidity. Root development is extremely fast in soil. Tried the paper towel method as well, but it was much slower.
Did you get yours from Nimfa? If so, they will probably arrive already germinated.
Best regards,

They ARE etiolated.
This is the drawback of gibberellic acid, its difficult to find the right concentration to ensure a nice germination rate without damaging the future seedlings...
I've been told there is great Salak. My friend brought me some seeds and two made the journey. Most were taken from her. From what I can tell it is different than my three varieties.Contrary to some reports indicating the abundance of salak in the Philippines, that fruit is nowhere to be found here. It's unheard of although rattan fruits which bear some resemblance to it is quite ubiquitous.
Hi, grafting doesnt seem to be too difficult, but I dont use to grow trees from grafting but seeds. I had a reticulata but died, but a friend has a 1.5m tall from those seeds... he tought the fruit will not be good and now I thank you for the report, congrats!
