For best results, obtain a sterile seed-start mix, and place the seeds just under the surface of a pre-moistened growing medium. Then the container at room temperature to germinate, and keep moist until germination. Once seeds emerge, place the pot in a bright location. Germination usually takes place within 6 weeks, though they can take longer. Patience is needed, though they are worth the wait!
