...very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to sprout.
Very easy to grow. Had roots 3 days after sowing. You take the outer layer of the seeds off and wth a sharp knife cut the tip off of the seeds. be careful not to cut the seeds too much. Planted in moist peat moss on top of a computer at about 85º-90ºF.

Seeds were pre-soaked in warm water for three days changed daily. Sown in moist peat and kept all the time at 32-33 d.C. Seeds started to sprout after 2 weeks of sowing, first leaves above soil - after 4 weeks. Seedlings need a lot of water and excellent drainage - grow very fast and robust. All seeds sown developed into seedlings.

I had 100% germination rate using bottom heat in about two months, sown into a tray.

...easy to germinate and need up to 3 months to sprout.
Best when fresh, pull off the flesh, keep in moist semi-drained container plant the seeds close together and pull their roots apart easily later when they are 1-4 inches tall and when you notice that most of them have germinated. I have done this with a 95% survival rate. They do not require bottom heat or covering the container that they are being grown in. This is of course in zone 10B FL over the late winter/early spring months in this climate. These seeds seem to be very easy they would rather have more water than less, and were even left in standing water in their container for several days without damage occurring to them.
