Editing Livistona rigida (section)

===Cultivation: ===
Seeds planted in deep trays will
germinate freely in a few weeks, but nothing will appear
above ground for 2 or 3 months. The seedbox should be placed
in the sun at this point and kept well watered. Seedlings are
moved to progressively larger pots, moderately fertilized
and a course mix used. To prevent fungus attacks plants
should be kept in full sun and plenty of wind, but very well
watered. It has bronzed leaves for its life in
pots, and retains this coloration a further 2 or 3 years after
planting out. Although often available in nurseries, it is
perhaps a little too big for suburban gardens.
