I kept them in a baggy with wet paper towel, changing out the paper every couple of days. I had success in that 6 continued to germinate. After putting them in some seed starting mix, I lost one, but 5 grew and are now a good 3 feet tall. I don't have problems with heat where I am, but humidity can get a bit low in Spring and I did not use any humidity dome on the transplanted seeds.

I can look up the Etsy seller and see if they still sell seeds if you wish.

This is from the same seller:

They also have the Gula Pasir variety as well.

Thank you Lumi-Ukko! Funny enough I came across this seller's Gula Pasir listing earlier today and was wondering if they were a good seller or not.

I can't speak to this seller's long-term reliability or quality of course, or how they source their seed, but the seeds I got from them were viable and were actively germinating when I received them and I had success in growing 5 palms out of about 7 seeds (ordered 6, received 7). They seem to only have 15 seed orders for Zalacca now). YMMV.
