...easy to germinate and need up to 6 months to sprout.
Yes, seeds are germinating very slowly, but on the other hand they need no special condition for germination. A had about 20 seeds, first roots appear after 1 month, but most of them between 2-4 month. I had total 16 beatufull seedling, but the rest 4 seeds did not germinate even after 8 month after sowing. At the beginning this species makes trouble, but plants are already trobule free and they have quite big growing rates.

Slow germinator, after several months the seed shell appears to split this split runs a little then the radicle emerges from within.Just needs patience. Sown in steralised baggies of perlite and multi purpose compost in a baggie in airing cupboard just moist
