The time needed for germination can be sped up dramatically using a heated propagator set to the Optimal temperature of 100-104 F at all times after being placed into soil. 1) Mix 1/2 cup of bleach with five cups of water. Place the seeds in a strainer and pour the bleach mixture over them. The bleach will sterilize the outside of the seeds and prevent mold growth.

The seeds do not have to be completely covered to germinate. 4) Use a Heated Propagator to keep the temperature as as close to 104 degrees F as possible. The seeds should not be in sunlight as they are at risk for drying out. Water the soil until it is damp to the touch. The soil must stay damp (not wet), at all times throughout the germination process. 5) Be patient--it can take 2 months for some, while others will take over 3-4 months or more to germinate as with any Exotic or Tropical seeds.
