GROWING TIPS
The germination of seeds is easy provided that you break the outer protective skin of the seed. For just a few seeds use a nail-clipper or a file (you have just to scratch the surface, taking off maybe a flake). For larger batches you can use sulphuric acid or mecahnical scarificators (please see specialized literature before attempting this, as use of concentrated acid is very dangerous). Soak the scarred seeds in water for about 24 hours. They should visiblly swell up. If not, you have not scratched them sufficently. Plant immediately, and the seeds should germinate quickly. Do not expose to exsessive temperatures during germination. Needs a lot of water, little exposure to sun, and a rather acid and humus.-rich soil.
