... are very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to sprout.
Pre-soaked 10 seeds in warm water overnight. Planted in soil-less medium under heat pad at 85F. 17 days later i got my first seedling poking out. More 2 days later.

Soaked seeds for a couple of days before germinating using baggie method. Seed coat seems to grow mold/fungus easily so be sure to keep germination media barely damp. Otherwise germination was quick and easy.

...difficult to germinate and need up to 1 month to
sprout.
I soaked 10 seeds in the water for 1 day and I placed the seeds in a well-drained mixture at 15-25°C. In
a month, just one have germinated. No very lucky with this one.

...easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to sprout.
Germinated easily in warm conditions (airing cupboard ~25-30C). Both pots & ziplock bags with damp seed compost
or damp vermiculite were successful.

Plants from this species ...
... are of excellent ornamental value 
In CORPUS CHRISTI in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA they need very little care and grow normal.
Very easy to grow: I planted about 50 seeds in one container. Filled up container about 3/4 full of dripping wet peat moss (self draining holes on bottom of container). Threw my seeds on top and covered with another 1 1/2 inches of dripping wet peat moss. Placed in full day sun and (after 5 pm) evening shade rom tree. Watered once every two days for two weeks and they began sprouting up. Within one month after sprouting they are all about 9 inches tall. Now I must separate them all. Germination was not a problem I just hope transplanting goes as well. I only water them once a week now and they all look very healthy. Very easy to grow these. No presoaking required. Days are at about 81-87 F'.
