how to make a double archontophoenix alexandrae

[Brandon39.5]

Hey, I germinated a couple of archontophoenix alexandrae seeds and I want to make a double king palm instead of a single. how should I do it? just putting two seeds on the same pot? and they will grow or I have to train them some way?

I want it to look something like this in the future.

Yes, plant two ( or 3, if you wanted a triple ) seeds / seedlings a few inches apart in the same pot and let them do their thing..  Petty much how any double / triple / quad, etc. trunked palm, that is naturally single- trunked, is grown.  No training necessary other than keeping both growing.

Okay thanks, I will do that.

That is essentially correct. However, you will get a better appearance if you sow each separately up to a 10" or 14" pot size. Then plant in the same hole with the trunks pointing outward..
