Place the seeds on their side, half-buried in a very moist, fast-draining medium like coarse perlite, coco coir, or sphagnum moss. You can plant them in a greenhouse, or just in a ziploc baggie (the \"moss-in-a-bag\" method). Cover with a dome is planting in a greenhouse, or close the baggie for moss-in-a-bag, and leave it in a consistently warm spot (\u0026gt;75°F to 90°F)—using a seedling heat mat is highly recommended or the seeds may not sprout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eThese seeds are wonderfully cooperative and typically sprout within 1 to 2 months.
