Good tips. I just put the seed in water, in a dark and slightly warmer than ambient temp area until it cracks and a tap root appears. Doesn’t have to be but a few millimeters long. Then to the spongy root plugs and in a small humidity dome with a homemade light until it sprouts. Then into the soil for it’s final home.
I also find it helps to only germinate when the moon phase is waxing and not waning. I usually get 100% germination. Next seed I start I’ll no a post. Should be Oct. 27 through Nov. the 6th
