Germination: Soak seeds in orange juice for 24 hours before planting. The acidity of the juice will help soften the outer layer of the seeds and aid germination. Place seeds just below the soil surface, and water in. Place the container is a warm location 21-24C (75F). Cover the pot with clear plastic to help retain moisture. Germination can occur within 2 weeks to several months (ours took about 3 months). Patience may be needed, though they are well worth the effort! Once seedlings sprout, remove the plastic, and place the pot in a sunny location.
