Germination Guide

▼

Seed Preparation

Contents: 4 fresh, viable seeds. Pre-treatment: Soak seeds in warm water for 48–72 hours to soften the seed coat and initiate germination processes. Change water daily for optimal results to maximize viability and ensure faster sprouting.

Sowing Medium & Drainage

Use an excellent drainage mix: 50% coarse sand or perlite combined with 50% cocopeat or premium seed-starting substrate. Exceptional drainage is critical to prevent fungal development and root rot during the germination phase. Consider adding a thin layer of coarse sand on top for added air circulation.

Planting Depth & Positioning

Plant seeds approximately 2–3 cm deep, positioned horizontally or slightly tilted. Light coverage is essential—avoid burying too deeply. Consistent and stable moisture levels are critical for success. Ensure proper spacing between seeds to allow air circulation.

Temperature & Humidity

Optimal Range: 28–33°C provides ideal conditions for germination. Humidity: Maintain high humidity (75–85%) using a plastic cover or mini-greenhouse with occasional ventilation to prevent fungal issues while retaining essential warmth and moisture.

Watering & Light Management

Maintain substrate moisture consistency without waterlogging. Use gentle bottom watering or fine misting to avoid soil disturbance and seed displacement. Provide bright, indirect light initially; once first leaves emerge, gradually transition to stronger light conditions for robust seedling development.

Germination Timeline & Care

Germination typically occurs within 2–5 months, depending on temperature consistency and seed dormancy. Consistent warmth significantly improves success rates. Once seedlings develop true leaves, carefully transplant into individual containers with rich, well-draining palm soil mix. Handle gently to protect the delicate taproot.

Plant Care Guide

Light Requirements

Young Plants: Benefit from bright, filtered sunlight during the acclimation period. Mature Palms: Demand full sun exposure for optimal trunk color, vibrant crown development, and maximum vigor. Gradual transition from shade to full sun prevents damaging leaf scorching.

Soil Requirements

Requires deep, fertile, well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Mix should include sand, loam, and composted organic material for optimal root development and aeration. Good drainage is absolutely essential—poor drainage leads to root rot and stunted growth in this species.

Watering & Fertilization

Water: Maintain consistent soil moisture during active growth, especially in warm months. Allow brief drying between waterings but never let soil become completely dry. Fertilize: Apply balanced palm fertilizer (12-4-12 + micronutrients) every 2–3 months during growing season to maintain lush foliage and strong development.

Temperature & Hardiness

Optimal growing temperature range is 22–35°C. Roystonea altissima is a warm-climate species and should be protected from frost. It tolerates brief cool spells but thrives in consistent warmth. Extended cold exposure can damage fronds and stunt growth.

Pruning & Maintenance

Requires minimal pruning—only remove completely brown or dead fronds near the base. Never cut living green fronds as this can cause permanent damage. Allow natural frond shedding. The trunk is self-cleaning and requires no intervention. Maintain cleanliness around the plant base.

Container Growing & Repotting

Young plants adapt well to large containers during early development stages. Use pots with excellent drainage holes and high-quality potting mix. Repot every 2–3 years as roots develop to prevent root binding. Eventually, mature specimens are best planted directly in landscape or large permanent containers for optimal growth potential.

Pests, Diseases & Health Management

Generally very resilient and pest-resistant. Monitor occasionally for scale insects, mealybugs, or spider mites. Use neem oil or insecticidal soap if treatment becomes necessary. Maintain excellent air circulation and proper watering practices to prevent fungal and disease issues. Healthy specimens rarely experience significant problems.

Good product, expensive price, poor adhesive
Premium packaging for a premium device. Useful for IR remote signal delivery with extra functions on the side. Price though is luxury for it’s use. Used this for a Logitech Harmony hub control of an non-smart electric fireplace. Setup is a breeze but only if you’re tech savvy. Highly recommend to watch the YouTube video for information on all it’s application. There a many other cheaper devices similar to this available on Amazon that I could have used for the same application. If you have a need for multiple control within the same vicinity of other devices, this may be more useful for you. However, if you plan on utilizing an IR repeater/extender for only a single device and would like to save some money, don’t buy this one. This device works quite well though. Have had no issues achieving the effect needed. Only four stars due to the poor adhesive on the emitter attachment. As stated earlier, I used this on an electric fireplace with a glass surface. I used the attachable emitter to the front glass sensor where the IR receiver was located on the fireplace. After only one day, the emitter attachment fell off even though I made sure the glass was thoroughly cleaned prior to adhering it. Otherwise a good product.

Denon avr ir remote port works great with sewell products
I bought a new entertainment center with glass doors and wasn't getting good signal range with the door closed. Plus i couldnt get a good of line site, since this cabinet was shorter than the orginal, and the location for my avr was further to the left than before and now my line of sight to the receiver was blocked from other parts of the room due to high couch back. I tried a couple different cheap $10 devices that used stick on transmitters/receiver buttons but they were clumsy and didn't provide me a total solution for my room layout. Works fantastic with a denon x1800 receiver (and many other models). It works directly with the denon's ir remote port in the back of the avr port. The solution is actually quite simple. Plug a stereo 3.5 mm male to male plug in the denon ir port in the back of the avr and and the other end to the orange emitter box(puck). The pics are about the size of an oreo double stuff cookie Tuck the orange box/puck away whereever and plug the power in. The box doesn't need to seen or be pointed towards anything. It's location is only limited by the length of your stereo cable and access to AC power Put the blue box puck anywhere in the room where you have general line of sight to it from where you will be using your remote, and plug power in. In my case, its sitting on top of one of my tower speakers. From there it clears the back of the couch and can see from the family room, eat-in kitchen area, and the kitchen beyond. Done. I didn't need or use any of the included emitter or transmitter cables, though if you dont have a denon, or other brand avr with an ir port to plug into , or also want to hide the blue puck ( in which case attach the included sensor cable), you'll need them. But for denon users with an ir port, you just use the two pucks and their usb power adapters. Simple.

Worked good then died at six months (Updated)
Worked good for a couple of months, then started to develop a lag between when you pressed a button on the remote, and when the TV would respond. If I moved the speaker blocking the TV’s IR receiver, and pointed the remote at it, it worked perfectly. Add the IR blaster back in and the delay returns. The delay kept getting longer and longer, sometimes 5 to 10 seconds. Then it just died. Would not pass any IR signals, even though the receiver and emitter both had power. Tried rebooting, changing communication channels to no avail. Out of Amazon return window. Manufacturer wants you do go through a troubleshooting process for warranty that is too complicated and time consuming. Customer Service Rep at Sewell send me a warranty replacement.

Nice Product and Customer Service
I ordered this BlastIR Wireless Pro IR Repeater from Sewell to replace a wired version of an IR repeater from another company. We have moved our TV on to a wall location and are in the process of hiding all the wiring out of sight behind walls and/or in a cabinet. We still have some wires to go, but this product has enabled us to eliminate the IR wiring all together. It's a real improvement in both looks and performance over the cheaper, wired version we originally tried. The BlasterIR's Receiver is the component that faces the room and receives the IR signal from our remote controls. It's small enough to fit in the space between our sound bar and the bottom of the TV. It's range is great for our room size (about 22' long and 18' wide) and picks up the remotes signal from a side angle that's almost parallel to the TV itself. The receiver is powered through one of the USB ports integrated into the TV (although the device itself supports either a USB or regular plug-in option). I haven't used them yet but Sewell appears to have provided a few options to help with affixing the IR devices in their final positions including some adhesive pads and a magnetic pad option as well. I'm still playing around with the permanent placement of the IR Blaster Emitter. It sits inside a closed cabinet and faces the concealed cable box receiver, router and DVR components. It retransmits the various IR signals it receives from the IR receiver by blasting that signal to anything it faces. I just placed it in the cabinet about 5" away from the devices I wanted to control, plugged it in and it worked with no other set up. So far the BlastIR is working seamlessly and with much better function response time than the cheaper IR version we'd tried at first. The lag time between when a button is pressed on the remote control and the action taking place on the device I'm communicating with is minimal. The emitter itself is plugged into an outlet on a surge protector powering the other in-cabinet devices, although it too could be powered via the provided USB connection if desired. As a note, we did experience a shipping issue during our ordering process. The order it self was processed quickly and shipped in a timely manner. However, there was an issue with our actual receipt of the product and the USPS who reported it delivered to our mailbox when in fact it had not been. Regardless, we reached out to Sewell directly and they quickly resolved the issue for us with no problems and in a timely manner. I would recommend both this IR Blaster Pro product as well as Sewell as a trusted company itself.

Does NOT Transmit Through Walls
Quick and easy setup! Works great within the room. However, will not work effectively between walls (i.e. - AV closet to living room).
