Seeds from this species ...

...very difficult to germinate and need up to 1 year to sprout.
The seeds were soaked for three days in water, changing the water every day. They were then sown individually into 1 litre black plastic bags. After 5 months 1 germinated and after a further two more months another germinated and I am still waiting, but am not hopeful. Here in central Venezuela we are probably too hot for this species. Up to now a year later only two seeds germinated from 100 sown
