Put 4 seeds in a closed plastic coca cola bottle with sand and placed the pot above a radiator in the winter in a cool room. Daily room temperature around 22C celsius and night 12C celcius. In the bottle the temp was higher and moist.The first one get green leaves within 7 days the rest within 14 days. Very easy Agave to germinate and grow.I lay the seeds on top of the sand with just a little sand cover. Not to much! and no sooking.

100% germination, lost a couple to damping off, but also had one recover. Very rewarding, and can't wait to
try some others. No special treatment, sowed the seeds very shallow in a store bought cactus mix and put the
whole thing under cover on top of a warm cupboard.
