I've already had 1 of this seed germinate but fail to sprout. So I bought a propagation dome and soem Root It starter plugs. I will use a spare light to setup a little nursery to start plants in going forward. I soaked the seed in water overnight, then put in a moist paper towel in the dark until a tap root showed. Then I carefully place in the Root It plug, in the provided hole, tap root down.
