Soak seeds in a wet paper towel with 1 part hydrogen peroxide/5 parts water in warm indirect sun. 2. After 1 week, sow 1/4" deep into pots with moistened seed-starting mix, or peat pellets. Keep moist-- seeds can die in a matter of hours if they dry out. Tropical plants need warm conditions, so make sure the soil temperatures do not drop too low. Germination will occur in 2-3 weeks. 3. Transplant to bigger pots as needed, or outside when the ground is warm. Protect during the first few winters. Germination: 85% HAPPY PLANTING!
