Soaking prior to sewing gives the seed a jump start and helps revitalize older seeds. With short-lived embryo viability time-windows, such rehydration may be the difference between success and failure.
An easy technique of placing seeds with some slightly damp sphagnum moss (or other medium such as perlite) into a transparent plastic baggie and putting the baggie in a warm environment, such as near a water heater.
Palm trees are a popular choice for gardens and landscapes due to their tropical appearance and ability to thrive in warm climates. Here are some general instructions for growing palm trees from seeds:

Choose a planting location that receives full sun and has well-draining soil. Palm trees prefer a soil that is rich in organic matter and slightly acidic, with a pH between 6.5 and 7.5.

Prepare the soil by loosening it with a garden fork and mixing in some compost or well-rotted manure. This will help the soil drain well and provide the nutrients the palm tree seeds need to germinate.

Soak the palm tree seeds in water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat and encourage germination.

Fill a planting container with a well-draining seed starting mix and moisten the soil evenly.

Sow the soaked palm tree seeds on the surface of the soil, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil, about 1/4 inch deep.

Place the planting container in a warm location that receives indirect sunlight. The soil temperature should be kept between 75 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit to encourage germination.

Water the palm tree seeds regularly, providing enough moisture to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Once the palm tree seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots or into the garden. Choose a location that receives full sun and has well-draining soil.

Water the palm tree seedlings regularly, providing enough moisture to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize the seedlings once a month during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer, following the manufacturer's instructions for the appropriate amount to use.
