...very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to

I soaked seeds in water for 2 days. I used 50% perlite 50% vermiculite in a tupperware container, held at around
30C. Seeds germinated very vigorously within 4 weeks. Multiple roots grew very quikly and a brown plumule emerged
soon after.

...very easy to germinate and need up to 3 months to

Soaked seeds for 3 days in warm water. I tried seed start mix, cactus mix, and 50-50 peat moss and perlite.
Placed some seeds on heat mat, under heat lamp, and at room temp(65-75f.)Seeds germinated under all conditions,
only slower at room temp. Soil did not appear to matter. 70% after 2 months.
