| Any advice on how to germinate this plant?
I put the seeds into a peat/potting mix combo in a germination tray and then covered it with plastic wrap putting it in an area that gets direct sunlight for a few hours every day. I can't even really find pictures of what they are supposed to germinate into... any advice? |

| That one does send a grower on a bit of a search :) I don't see anything you need to do differently than what you have done. There are a few mentions of length of time to germinate that indicate some time involved, anywhere from 1 - 6 months. But, the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens germination database shows (if I'm interpreting it right) seeds harvested and held 7 months before sowing germinated (at a rate of half the seeds sown) in 12 days with more to follow. Temp was approx 60F and seeds were exposed to 10 hours light, 14 hours (night) dark. FYI - intolerant of both shade and root disturbance, handle seedlings carefully when transplanting. |
