...very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to sprout.
Soak them in warm water first for 7 days (35 degrees.)then put them in a closed box filled with cocofibre.on a temperature of 25 to 30 degrees celcius. After 12 days the first few seeds germinated already. Put them in a deep basket because they have got a long root. They grow very fast if kept warm.

...very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to sprout.
Those seeds usually germinate in 1-2 weeks, I only got chance to try 3 seeds and they sprout in moist seed-compost, with temp. around 25-30°C (covered). Seedlings growth is very fast, about three leaves a month. This type of method will work with all Yucca's.
