I put about 20 seeds in the water when they arrived and kept in warm place. The next day when I looked at them 5 have already had a small germ. I could't believe my eyes:) Easiest seeds to germinate I think.

These are unbelievably easy to grow. I sowed them outdoors in the winter after soaking for 24 hours. I hardly watered them and realized that they probably needed some. So 4 months after sowing them I collected them put them in a pot a watered. 80% sprouted after 1-2 months and grew well. The seedlings prefer to be kept out of intense sunlight and kept moist.

This batch made me laugh. They arrived 4 weeks after ordering and had already begun to sprout in the bag on
their way to Orlando. They went straight into the soil and are growing nicely. I would say very easy to germinate!

The seeds were soaked in water for one day. They were then soaked
in a fungicide for 15 minutes. They were then placed in damp medium
consisting of perlite and sphagnum moss 1:1 ratio. Temperatures
were consistant at about 70- 75 degrees F. Germination started after
1 week. I recieved 90% germination, 9 out of 10 seeds.

One of the easiest germation tasks. If they are fresh, they´ll
take 2-3 weeks. Germination quota with fresh ones is usually 90%.
Germination temperature 80-90°F/30°C. Presoak 2-3 days in
warm water, keep moist all the time, but not wet.

Plants from this species ...
... are of excellent ornamental value 
In SOUTH TEXAS in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA they need very little care and grow very fast.
Seeds were received and placed right into cups. Next thing e knew they were sprouting. 3 weeks tops. So easy... that we even dropped one and we only found it, after it had its first leave out of the ground. We used only wet peat moss in the cups and there was only top soil on the ground. 50 out of 50 seeds made it. 100% germination on these. Temp ws about 85-95F'. Growing fast.
