Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak the seeds in warm water for 24-48 hours before planting to help soften the seed coat and promote faster germination.

Sowing:

Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep in a well-draining potting mix or directly into the garden soil.
If planting in containers, use large pots with good drainage.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Maintain a temperature of 75-85°F (24-29°C) for optimal germination.
Germination typically occurs within 1-3 months, but it can sometimes take longer.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, they can be transplanted into larger containers or directly into the garden.
If transplanting outdoors, ensure all danger of frost has passed and space the plants 5-6 feet apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Salak trees prefer humid conditions and should not be allowed to dry out.
Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Keep the mulch several inches away from the trunk to prevent rot.
Pruning: Pruning is generally not necessary for Salak trees, but you can remove any dead or damaged leaves to maintain the plant's appearance and health.
Support: Salak trees are naturally self-supporting, but you can provide additional support if needed by using stakes or ties.
Harvesting: Salak fruits are typically ready to harvest 6-7 months after flowering. The fruit is ripe when the skin turns a deep reddish-brown and the scales are slightly raised. Twist or cut the fruit from the tree carefully to avoid damaging the branches.

Happy gardening!
