Instructions:
We recommend using the following to sow the seeds:
To plant, scarify the seeds so that moisture can reach through the outer coat of the seed, you can use something sharp like a scalpel to cut away gently at the outer coating. You can either us the paper towel method(reference plantflix.com/seed-care) or pre-soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hrs before planting and plant in moist potting mix and cover with plastic (like a ziploc bag) to maintain warmth and humidity.
Keep it brightly lit, these can be in light direct sun, and make sure the soil remains moist but not soggy and keep the temperatures between 70-85(ideally closer to around 80F).
The seeds take anywhere from 2-3 months to germinate.
When the seedlings germinate, start to acclimate to fresh air by removing the covering(if you have one) for a couple of hours at a time and make sure to provide lots of light(direct sun is ok!) to the seedlings so they can grow quicker.
If you have any issues at all with getting your seeds to sprout, please don't hesitate to reach out! I'd be happy to help guide you through creating the right conditions for the seeds.

Customer Reviews
First seed has sprouted via paper towel method after a month (March 27th arrival date to April 27th sprout first observed). I found these much easier to germinate than the bird of paradise.
This one broke through on its own without scarification, but I suspect the others will have an easier time sprouting now that I've found the best spot to scarify. The seed has a distinct circle where it has separated from its flower, and there's a line that goes down the side and ends at a dot that may protrude. This is the point where the seed will sprout and will be the best spot to sand or file lightly (don't go too deep as this will damage the tissue the sprout will grow from).
Great packaging and planting instructions
I had a lot of luck with these ones and have given a few of the plants as gifts.
Everything arrived beautifully wrapped :)
Order came on time and intacted.
