The invention relates to an areca nut seed germination accelerating method. The method comprises the steps of collecting mature areca nut fruits, spreading the collected mature areca nut fruits on a floor, airing, arranging the aired mature areca nut fruits into a snake leather bag, arranging the snake lather bag at a shady and cool place, preserving moisture to promote the skin of the areca nut fruits to be rotten rapidly, removing rotten skin, reserving fiber coated seeds, cleaning, sterilizing, airing, spreading a wet sand layer on the nursery ground in a greenhouse, spreading a layer of non-overlapping seeds, covering the non-overlapping seeds with the wet sands and covering a straw layer, wherein the temperature is controlled to be 25-35 DEG C during germination accelerating, and the shading degree is 60-90%. According to the areca nut seed germination accelerating method, the process is simple, the accumulated sand layer for increasing temperature and moisture is adopted for the seeds after pretreatment of the seeds, the seed absorption property and the gas permeability are improved, the areca nut seeds can germinate rapidly, the germinating time can be shortened, the areca nut seed germinating rate, the germinating index and the germinating uniformity can be improved effectively, and the method has the advantage of capability of rapidly breeding the areca nut seedlings on a large scale.
