Growing Adonidia merrillii in pots

Hello, I have picked up a 5 fallen fruits of a Christmas palm tree 2 weeks ago, removed all of the husk and submerged them into water for around 5 days after which the flat ends of the seeds started germinating. https://m.imgur.com/Hrjr4Zj

 

 

I have transferred the seeds to soil in a shallow container with good drainage a week ago just so it can continue to sprout as I have noticed no changes after a day in the water.https://m.imgur.com/mlpz8Eq

Would this setup be sufficient for the first month or so or would I need a deeper container? If this wouldn’t work I have a pot around 3.5 inches tall and 4.5 inches wide. https://imgur.com/a/L5AssAq
 

Can I transfer them all there? Or maybe at least 1 or 2 of them. The only reason I have 5 right now is for backup in two or more failed to germinate. I don’t worry so much about the temperature and humidity as I live in its native range anyway so that wouldn’t be a problem.

Palms need deeper pots when germinating. You should use a container 6+" tall with drainage holes. Use a well draining potting mix and never let the pot sit in a tray of water. Keep soil moist but not soggy. Adonidias like heat and humidity.
