Propagation Methods |
Fairly easy although fungus can be a problem. This seed may take up to 3 months to germinate, usually 2 for us. Place a few cm into a clean potting mix. We use 50/50 potting soil/coco coir. Keep above 20 C and don't let the soil stay wet or very dry. | |
Nick and soak for 12-24 hours and place in commercial soil mix. Do not keep wet, and do not let dry out. Keep above 20 degrees celsius for best results | |

Treat with fungicide, damping off is a problem. Plant in large well drained pot and keep above 20 degrees Celsius. | |

It is best to either nick and soak or pour boiling water into a bowl with the seeds and let soak for 24 hours. Then proceed to plant in a general purpose mix. Untreated these seeds can take up to 12 months to sprout. Treated they may sprout as soon as 2 weeks. Water once soil dries at top, and keep above 20 C. | |
Soaking for 24 hours prior to planting is recommended. Also using slightly boiling water, pour the water into a bowl containing seeds. Let soak for 12-24 hours and plant into almost any kind of loose potting soil. Germination with this method is often under a week. | |

Plant in a clean soil that has some grit added. we use 20/20/60 sand/grit/potting soil. Keep a little moist and high humidity. Keep above 20 C. | |

Very easy to germinate and sprout. Plant on the surface of a very well drained soil/sand mix. Covering with soil not needed, or a very light sprinkle. Provide humidity tent for about a month, longer if desired. Do not give too much light at first to avoid burning. Keep above 20 C. | |
Place 1-2 cm deep in commercial potting mix. No special care is needed except keeping them warm, 15 degrees or more. Once the soil starts to dry water again, very easy to grow. | |

Seeds remain viable for many years if stored right. Plant a few mm in most potting soils or seed soils. Keep above 20C and keep moist, we prefer to plant in high light levels. Germination should happen within a few weeks. | |

Simply keeping above 15C and moist will yield great results. Nicking and soaking also are often employed with this specie, but are not necessarily needed. Germination should be less than 2 weeks. | |
