- Keep warm & moist but not too wet.
- Germination should occur in 14-56 days if temperatures are maintained @ 23-30°C

General note: Seeds of many plant species are dormant and require specific conditions or pre-treatment for germination.
Do not be too hasty to discard seed that does not germinate, seeds will often lay dormant until the conditions are similar to their natural requirements for germination to occur. Containers put to one side will often surprise long after they were discarded.
