Germination: Obtain a pot with holes in the bottom, and a sterile seed-start mix. Add 50% coarse sand to the mix. Wet the medium. Sprinkle the seeds on the surface of the soil. With a spray bottle, mist the seeds so that they settle in. Mist them daily. Occasionally add water from a bottom tray so that the water can wick upwards and not disturb the seeds.
