Propagation: Propagation of iriartea is primarily via seeds, requiring warm temperatures (25-30°C), high humidity, and well-draining soil. To enhance germination, soak seeds for 24-48 hours to simulate natural scarification. Expect slow germination rates and ensure adequate light exposure without direct sunlight.
