The date palm<\/strong> is an extremely resistant plant that requires little maintenance. It can be grown quite simply from a date stone<\/strong> . You just need a little patience to get them to germinate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before starting the germination process, make sure to clean the pit well. It is best to get rid of any remaining flesh or skin to reduce the chances of fungus appearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Day 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Start by soaking the date stones in water. Day 10<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Roots begin to appear in the center of the pits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Day 15<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When the roots have reached 5 to 10 millimeters, you must plant them directly in the ground (or surround them with cotton as I did to be able to monitor their growth). The pits should be planted vertically so that the roots point downward. Very important: the earth (or cotton) must always be damp. You can also wait until the roots reach 1 centimeter to plant your core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Day 28<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The roots have become quite long and the leaves will soon appear. Day 35<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The leaves have started to appear. You have baby palm trees<\/strong> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n Day 42<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The fastest kernels already have very green and robust leaves. Here’s a super-easy DIY that allows you to have date palm trees in a planter or in your garden.

Make sure to place them in a warm place (behind the refrigerator, in the kitchen, next to a radiator in winter, etc.). You will need to change the water every 2 or 3 days and clean the container to prevent any growth of fungus that could cause your seed to die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s time to put them in the ground (if you haven’t already).
To remove them from the cotton, you must be very careful not to break the root. It will be easier if we soak the core with the cotton in a basin of water. The cotton will become very soft and easy to remove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The slowest kernels (put in water for 42 days) are only now starting to show their roots. So remember to put several cores from the start to maximize your chances of seeing small palm trees grow<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
