This study aims to analyze the effect of seed type and coconut water soaking time on germination and early growth of Red Salak Sidimpuan (Salacca sumatrana Becc.). The study used a factorial Completely Randomized Design with two factors, namely seed type (single, two, and three) and soaking time (24 hours water, 12, 18, and 24 hours coconut water). The parameters observed included germination power and speed, plant height, leaf emergence age, and leaf width. The results showed no significant interaction between the two factors. Seed type affected plant height at 38 and 45 days after planting, while 24-hour soaking affected at 59 days after planting. In general, seed viability was high, with 24-hour coconut water soaking being recommended to support early growth.
