Steve, I MIGHT get some of these seeds. I am not sure, but MAYBE.
Any secret? I was just going to soak them for a couple days, then put them in 100% Perlite with bottom heat. I get them, they are VERY VERY fresh seeds, so what, maybe a month before I see something?
Also, How are your doing now? Pic?

Wes,
Are you getting some from Charlene? That's where mine came from last year 8)
I would soak them for 2 - 3 days in distilled water, then bottom heat, took mine about 2 months.

Perlite will work OK, but you will need to keep a close eye on the moisture level.
A 50/50 mix of Perlite and Sphagnum moss is good too.
If you end up buying your supplies at the box stores, soak, then rinse out the Perlite and moss before using.
( just to leach out the fertilizers and other stuff they add )

Here is one I found, ( I know there is more out there somewhere.....)
These only had about a month or two to grow last year before it got cold.

Steve

I just got the PM, he has none left 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥
Oh well, now I don't to worry about not being able to pop them.
Anyways, yours look good.
While I got you, a while back you gave me a cup of Cocothrinax Argentinii or something close to that. What I did with those was I put a bunch of my stuff in a cooler and filled the cooler with some water to seep into the bootom of the cups. Everything did well except those. Those SHOT up. They REALLY likes having wet feet. Just thought I would pass that tit bit onto you.
