...easy to germinate and need up to 3 months to sprout.
I placed the seeds on a sphagnum peat bed approx. 3" deep. Temperatures were 90f day/ 75f night. They sprouted
steadily from 21 days after planting to 45 days after planting. Germination was 80% with 100 seeds. These are
large seeds, so I transplant into 2 1/2" tray pots as soon as the seed sends out a shoot. This makes the
transplanting process easier, and is less traumatic to the seedling.

I soaked them for 48 hours in worm water. the water was changed two times. Then I removed the fleshy Sarkotesta
as good as possible first with a knife and then with a pot cleaner made of metal wool.Optional:In order to get
sterile cultures I incubated the seeds 10 min in 52° C warm water (to kill germinated fungi spores). After
that they were treated 30 min with 13 % NaClO- Solution (Bleech Solution) in order to kill all other microorganisms.
Then they were washed 4 times a 15 min with sterile water.Then they were put under sterile conditiones in 3/4
L Glas jars (Weck) on moist and sterilised Vermiculit and kept at 30° C.The first seed germinated after
20 days!
