100 seeds planted 1 1/2 mos. ago in 170 cell seed tray of seed starter mix are sprouting at different intervals during our heat wave. Have them in a greenhouse with a shade-cloth on the roof where temps have exceeded 105 degrees F.

...easy to germinate and need up to 3 months to sprout.
Soaked seeds in warm tapwater for a couple of days, then sealed in a jar containing quite moist perlite (wet
enough to stick together a bit, though this is probably too much), in a propagator at ~30-40 degrees in the
day and about 20 at night. Germination started after a fortnight, with 5/15 germinated after 6 weeks. After
germination seeds were placed in moist compost in 9cm pots, and sprouted after another week or two. Seedlings
have a distinct glaucous appearance compared to e.g. M. Sikkimensis

...easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to sprout.
Placed 11 seeds on a heat mat with an appliance timer set to 9 hours on. They were placed in a ziplock bag in
moist peat moss. After a month of no results with high temps, I placed the seeds high near my ceiling. In less
than a week most of them sprouted in temps around 75 F. Seem to be pretty easy to germinate!

Ratings and comments reflect individual experiences and the views of our visitors. They do not necessarily describe the most
appropriate methods, nor are they necessarily valid for all seeds or plants of this species. Germination and plant cultivation
success depends on many different factors; nevertheless, these experiences will hopefully aid you in your effort to get the
best germination results from our seeds and the best growth results from your plants.
