Pachypodium lamerei seed??????

I need help graowing the seed. I planted seventy two seeds in jiffy pellets and only one has came out so far?

Any help will be appreciated?

I keep the pellets moist and allowing almost full sun exposure.

also I'm laying them sideways, but I was wondering if I should put them with the pointy side down when I plant them.

I can't find a picture of the seed to help you with which end down, but on their sides is almost always a safe way to sow...

How many days has it been? There may be nothing unusual going on with your germination -

"Seeds germinate very erratically. Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing in moist sand. While there may be a sprout or two in 3-4 days, most seed germinates anywhere from 21 day to 6 months at 72°."
