Sowing method: Sowing tropical plants: if the seeds are hard, scarify them with a file or sandpaper. Except for fine seeds, soak all seeds in warm water overnight. Then sow in coco peat and germinate in a warm place (20-30°C). A short cold period in the refrigerator sometimes stimulates germination.
