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 promote faster sprouting. Change water daily to prevent fermentation and maximize germination potential.

Sowing Medium

Use a blend of 50% coarse sand or perlite and 50% cocopeat or quality germination substrate. Ensure free drainage to prevent root rot during the germination stage. Excellent drainage is essential for healthy seed development.

Planting Depth

Plant each seed approximately 2–3 cm deep. Lightly cover with medium and maintain evenly moist conditions without overwatering. Ensure consistent moisture for optimal germination success.

Temperature & Humidity

Optimal Range: 28–32°C for best germination results. Humidity: Keep medium humidity (70–80%) using a plastic cover or mini-greenhouse setup. Provide ventilation weekly to prevent fungal development.

Watering & Light

Keep the substrate moist but not soggy. Overwatering slows germination and can cause fungal issues. Use a spray or misting bottle for controlled moisture application. Provide bright, indirect light initially; gradually introduce stronger light as seedlings emerge and develop.

Germination Timeline & Transplanting

Typical germination occurs within 1–4 months, sometimes longer depending on ambient temperature and moisture stability. Once seedlings form their first true leaves, transplant them into individual containers with a rich, well-draining mix. Handle carefully to avoid damaging the tender taproot.

Plant Care Guide

▼

Light Requirements

Young Plants: Prefer bright, filtered sunlight until acclimated. Mature Palms: Thrive in full sun for optimal trunk color, crown development, and overall vigor. Gradual transition from shade to sun prevents leaf scorching.

Soil Requirements

Prefers deep, fertile, and slightly moist soil with excellent drainage. A blend of sand, loam, and organic compost is ideal for vigorous growth and healthy root development. Avoid compacted or poorly draining soils.

Watering & Fertilization

Water: Provide consistent watering during the growing season. Do not allow soil to dry out completely, but avoid standing water around the roots. Fertilize: Use a balanced palm fertilizer (e.g., 12-4-12 + Mg + Mn) every 2–3 months during active growth to maintain lush leaves and a healthy trunk.

Temperature & Hardiness

Roystonea borinquena thrives best in warm climates between 20–35°C. It tolerates short periods of cool weather down to about 5°C but should be protected from frost to ensure healthy growth and development.

Pruning, Maintenance & Container Growing

Pruning: This palm naturally sheds old fronds as it matures. Remove only brown or damaged leaves near the base to maintain a clean appearance. Container Growing: Young plants are well-suited for large containers for decorative use on patios and courtyards. Repot every 2–3 years to allow for root development and refresh soil nutrient content.

Pests & Diseases

Roystonea borinquena is generally resistant to pests, but occasionally monitor for scale insects and mealybugs. Use neem oil or insecticidal soap if necessary. Maintain good cultural practices including proper watering and air circulation to prevent disease issues.

Ethernet problems: need to force update of driver, then no more problems
The Ethernet problems have been resolved after I installed a driver from realtek.com. I received a link to the correct driver from Anker's customer service (they respond fairly quickly). Updating the driver using the Windows "update driver" feature did not achieve anything, you need to download the file from realtek.com. With that issue resolved, I have no more Ethernet connectivity problems. I also experience what some other reviewers commented on, that the hub gets hot, but I don't think that's a problem (the metal casing allows for heat exchange, and while it's hot, it is not too hot to touch). Glad this is a good product, after all! Earlier review: (was 1 star) I bought this to make videoconferencing more stable, but the connection fails within one or two minutes, and it is difficult (time-consuming) to re-establish. Every Zoom call is lost, which is particularly bad if you host a call. Wi-Fi was disabled while using this Ethernet hub. I used this with a 2020 HP Spectre x360, running Win 10. I contacted Anker, and they were nice and let me return the hub for a replacement, but the replacement is not any better. Only upside: if you just need a regular connection, for email and web browsing, the Ethernet connection is *very* stable. The problems arise only when video-conferencing.

Ethernet Jack (RJ45) did not work for me (Edit: It does now)
Update: After a couple of restarts, and continuing to plug in the Anker 5-in-1 USB C hub in different ports, followed by plugging various cables in different order, I found that I need to plug the RJ45 cable in FIRST, before the HDMI and the USB 4-port extender I use. For some reason, one of those was preventing the Ethernet connection from working, but if I plug in the USB C hub first, then plug in the Ethernet, THEN plug in the HDMI cable and USB A hub cable, it works for me. I updated my review from 1 star (I was very disappointed) to 5 (I am happy!). I am happy with Anker's high build quality and this feels more like a user error and/or an unusual/unintended use case. But Anker engineering, take heed - I plugged (your) 4-USB port extender into the USB C hub's USB A port and it somehow prevented the RJ45 port from working - I have a keyboard, mouse, and webcam hooked up to the USB 4-port extender and I can't even begin to imagine why that would cause the RJ45 port not to work - but, thought I should share my experience in case others have similar issues. Original post: I love Anker's cables and batteries, they have worked flawlessly for me and I love their build quality. For this USB C hub, I (accidentally) purchased two units of this product. That means I was able to test 2 of them and neither of them could make the RJ45 port work on a 2019 MacBook Pro, which the listing claims it is compatible with. I know the Ethernet cable/connection works because I have a Dell USB C to Ethernet dongle, which when I plug THAT in, Ethernet works great. However, when I plug in the Anker USB C Hub [Upgraded], 5-in-1 USB C Adapter, I cannot get the RJ45 port to work. I tried one and it didn't work, so I thought "maybe this one just happens to have a bum RJ45 port", but I then tested the other on all 4 Thunderbolt ports on the laptop and the Anker USB C hub RJ45 ports did not establish an Ethernet connection on either unit. I am returning for a refund - the RJ45 port and the small form factor were the key reasons I purchased this USB C hub. I will note that everything else worked flawlessly. The HDMI connected first time to a 32" external monitor, the USB A ports connected a mouse and keyboard and a webcam. My sole issue is the RJ45 port, which I could not get to work on 2 separate, brand-new Anker USB C hubs.

Great quality build and high performance, longevity
I have had this device for more than a year. This device is very nice. It is light, handy, and has all the ports I needed. I run multiple computing environments simultaneously at my desk, and this helped simplify the ports and switching better than a KVM would have. Speed of the ports are as advertised; I won’t dive into specs since you can consult them in the listing itself. I can vouch that the connectors are good quality and sturdy, not flimsy like some lesser devices. The device itself is metal, and does radiate a small amount of heat when using the HDMI port (which I do all day every day). Nothing concerning though. The USB-C end of the dongle wire has good wire stress relief, and the cord itself is a decent gauge. I suppose if I had to nit-pick I would like the wire to be a bit larger gauge. As you can see by my picture, to improve longevity of the dongle I have rested the wire and therefore the USB-C connector on my laptop stand. I liked it so much that I bought a second one for my daughter’s Mac, and my wife bought one for her Surface. All are working great.

Very reliable without being bulky
I’ve had several of these and they have always been very reliable for usb and Ethernet. HDMI is definitely subpar and you will have a lower frame rate most likely. I recommend just using a usb c to HDMI cable if you have an open port. Despite this, I still give it 5 stars because the Ethernet and usb is what I needed it for the most. Plug fits snugly and the braided cord is sturdy while also having enough flexibility. 5 stars.

This well-made hub/adapter works perfectly for my external mouse, keyboard, and wired network connection on my laptop. I’ve never experienced any lag or slow data transfer, and I would definitely buy it again.
