Sowing method: Sow in a seed tray, first provide warmth for 2-4 weeks (18-22°C), then a cold period, e.g., in the refrigerator (+4°C) for 4-6 weeks, followed by warming up again for 2-4 weeks. Consistently maintain these temperature changes until germination occurs. A germination period of 12 months or longer is not uncommon for this species.
